Seratonin levels, free dreaming, depression etc.
Hello there people,
A while ago I had read a big essay about lucid dreaming and the chemicals in your head; including what they do and what happens.
It said that when you have REM sleep, the seratonin levels get drained because of your dreaming, and when you dont dream, in the normal sleep (NREM), it replenishes.
A too high level of seratonin causes paranoia, schizoidal episodes etc. A too low level can cause depression.
Simply put; if we LD too much, actually "work" on getting more dreams, isn't this somehow bad for our health ?
The essay also advised to do "free dreaming", to not mind too much, so your seratonin levels can get readjusted etc.
Is there anyone with more information, or maybe a personal view ?
It would be much appreciated, for I don't want to do anything that might be bad for my well-being..
Thanks on forehand;
Feist.
