Lucid Dreams Informative Speech

One of the things that all humans have in common is sleep. On average, a person spends 25 years, or 9,125 days, asleep. While we sleep our bodies go into a somewhat paralyzed like state, but the brain always remains active. In the form of dreams, our brains can alert, entertain, or even terrify. Just like every human sleeps, every human also dreams, even when you think you do not, you do. One common misconseption is that all dreams fall under one category, but in reality we have many different types of dreams that our subconscious uses to relay messages and images. Some of the types of dreams include signal dreams, prophetic dreams, healing dreams, recurring dreams, daydreams, lucid dreams, nightmares, and epic dreams. But today I will be

Lucid dreaming can be described as knowing that you are dreaming while you are in the action of dreaming. A Dutch psychiatrist Frederick Van Eeden was the first to describe a lucid dream in 1913. He talked about how he could recall a dream where he could act freely and had full awareness of his waking life — but he was still so deeply asleep that no bodily sensations entered his dream.That's what makes a lucid dream different from a hallucination — your physical body is in deep sleep and can't actually feel anything you do, even though you're aware and have control. Lucid dreams occur during rapid eye movement (REM) during sleep, and the lucidity continues by sudden outbursts of (REM). Lucid dreaming is normally a rare experience. Even so, most people report having a lucid dream at least once in their lives while 20% of the world report one every month or so. Lucid dreaming can begin in one of two ways, either something strange happens that tells you this must be a dream or you just awoke and fell back asleep with little or no break in conscious. A lucid dream starts out just like any normal dream but once you know you are dreaming, you can do basically anything your mind can imagine without obeying the laws of society and physics. Some theoreticians have considered them impossible and even absurd saying that lucid dreams were "not typical parts of dreaming thought, but rather brief arousals". Despite this, scientist have found that there is no major change in brain waves during lucid dreams than regular dreams. There still isn’t a known cause as to why some people lucid dream, but there is a theory that it has to do with the amount of grey matter in your brain. Grey matter contains most of the brain's neuronal cell bodies. The grey matter are the regions of the brain that are involved in muscle control, and the many types of sensory perception such as seeing, hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and
