My Dream
After reading my introduction of lucid dream last week, I believe that everyone have a basic understanding of lucid dream. So, this week, I decide to tell you something about my dream. Tell you several dreams that I once or often dreamed.
When I was a child, every time I catch a cold, I would dream one of the following two dreams repeatedly until I wake up. Both of the two dreams are very short.
Train:
In the beginning of the dream, I am constrained on a railroad track. However, there is no rope or handcuff, I just can hardly move my body. Then a train come toward me at a high speed. I make an effort to escape from the track, but still in vain. At the moment the train almost arrive me, I suddenly can see nothing and hear a huge sound of explosion. Then, the dream start from the beginning.
Valley:
In this dream, I keep running in a valley that look like volcanic crater. Just like the picture.
All I can do is keeping running on that round route. Unless I wake up, the process will never come to an end. Never.
In fact, I want to tell you more about my dream. However, I have a midterm tomorrow, so I just simply talk about two dreams that I dream most frequently. If anyone want to know more about my dream, just come to me and chat with me. Of course, in Chinese. XD

Lucid Dream
Everyone know what dream is. And most people have dreamed a dream. However, have you ever experienced a lucid dream(清醒夢)? Or do you even know what is lucid dream? In this artical, I am going to talk about this amazing phenomenon.
According to Stephen LaBerge, who is a well known author. Lucid dream is defined as a kind of dream that you dream when you know that you are dreaming. It is totally different from daydream, which indicate illusions and images created by our brains when we are sober.
When a dreamer is in the dreamworld of a lucid dream, he or she will keep the ability to think or to remember. Also, the dreamer will feel the dreamworld much clearer. Sometimes dreamer can even control the content of dreams directly
Everyone's possibility to have a lucid dream is different. Roughly speaking, children have more chance than adults to dream a lucid dream. Somebody are born with a brain that can easily creat a lucid dream. If you have difficulty dreaming a lucid dream, you can try meditation or hypnotism. They can increase the chance that you dream a lucid dream.

Bad Dreams
Most people have experiences of having bad dreams. However, do you know why they exist? There are some causes that lead to our bad dreams. The three main reasons are pressure, anxiety, and the bad quality of sleeping.
Usually, kids that are preschool have more chance to have bad dreams at night. Most of those dreams come from horrible stories, scary TV programs, or videos.
Bad dreams often reflect our stress. This kind of emotion may accumulate in our mind, and can not be released. However, the process we people having bad dreams is a way for our body to automatically reduce pressure. In the nightmare, we experience strong emotion. At the same time, we released our accumulated stress.
Though it seems that it is good for us to have bad dreams, people have to see a doctor if it occurs too frequently. Having too many bad dreams will, however, leave us pressure.

Basic introduction of dream
Most people have experiences of dreaming something. However, do you know what actually dream is?
Dream is one kind of subjective experience(主體經驗) which will appear when we people are sleeping. Dreaming is a process of creation. We involuntarily imagine sounds, images, and feelings. In average, human have about 3 to 5 dreams a night. However, most people remember only one or even none of them.
Since prehistory, dreaming was already a interested topic to philosophers and religionists. However, now people still can not understand the mechanism of dreaming. Nowadays, dreams are regarded as a way to associate with our subconscious(潛意識). They can be very normal. And they can also be totally different from the world now we live. They involve every different kinds of topic, such as magic, fear, and adventure.
Do you often have dreams that you remember? For me, dreaming is a important part in my life.
From next week, I will try my best to bring you into the fantastic world of dream.

Hypersomnia
Do you ever nodded off in class? Sometimes, we people can not help but fall asleep when we are doing something important such as having our English class. This situation may arise from a lack of sleep or the usage of drugs or something else. However, if this situation become more serious, it may be identified as disease called Hypersomnia(嗜睡症).
Hypersomnia is a very dangerous disease. People who suffer from Hypersomnia may suddenly fall asleep in time that is not suitable for them to sleep. For example, when they are eating, chatting, or even driving.
Someone may think that patients can prevent from suddenly falling sleep if they have enough sleeping in night. However, the fact is that no matter how long they sleep, they still fall asleep whenever Hypersomnia attack. Morever, now, we people still can not cure this disease.
The following video is made by Sarah Elizabeth, a woman who suffer from Hypersomnia. This video shows the true situation when she was practicing dancing.

How long should we sleep?
Everyone know the importance of sleeping. However, how long should we actually sleep a day? The answer to this question depends on how old we are. Roughly speaking, the older we are, the less time we need to sleep.
According to National Sleep Foundation. The most suitable time a child who is between 6 and 13 years old sleep is 9~11 hours a day. Teenagers between 14 and 17 should sleep 8~10 hours every day. People between 18 and 64 have to sleep 7~9 hours each day. And the elderly whose age is above 65 is recommended to sleep 7~8 hours a day.
If we don't get enough sleeping, some of the following things will likely to happen. First of all, we will be in bad temper. Second, we may eat too much because our bodies need more energy. Last but not least, we will more likely to get a cold because our immune system have not enough time to do its job.
However, I don't think it is easy to get enough sleeping every day. For example, I sleep only three hours yesterday...
Sad story.

Experiment about sleeping
Is sleeping important to us? Well,I believe everyone's answer to this question is "Yes."
Then,do you know what will happen if we people don't sleep? A Russian experiment show us the answer.
In 1940s , Russian scientists found five political prisoners.All of them volunteered to be the subjects of this experiment in exchange for freedom.The only thing they had to accomplish is keep awake for a month.
Then they were all cabined in a sealed room, which was full of gas that made all of them awake.
And that was also a place where I called hell on earth.
Day1-Day3
Nobody complained of this experiment.They chatted.They played poker.They read books.All of the subjects were looking forward to their "upcoming" freedom.
Day4
They still chatted.However,the topic of their conversation was about trauma.And this situation became more and more often.
Day5
They started to complain of the environment.Moreover,they saw illusions.
Day9
One subject kept running and screaming for 3 hours,then he broke his vocal cords,and couldn't speak anymore.After sawing this,other subjects' reaction,however,was no reaction.They just kept talking to themselves.
Day10-Day12
There were totally no sounds from the room,like there was nothing in it.The scientists claimed that the subject who obeyed the following instruction would become free immediately.And their response was:"We don't want freedom anymore."
Day13-Day14
No response.
Day15-End
The result is so bloody that I won't write them on my blog.If you are interested in what happened next,please google 俄羅斯睡眠實驗 or 睡眠剝奪實驗.I can only tell you that all subjects died.And several scientists commited suicide because of mental stress.
Remember to sleep.
Sincerely yours

Pillow
Again.As the saying goes,you cannot make bricks without straw.Last time,I introduce two kinds of mattress.This time,I wanna teach you how to choose a nice pillow.To find a suitable pillow,we should check its height and hardness.
Height:
How tall a good pillow is? Well,the answer to this question is different from person to person.So,instead of height,what we truly care about is angle.A Japanese doctor found that if we want to sleep well,the angle of inclination of our heads is 15º.Like this.
Go find a pillow that can make the angle of inclination of your head become 15º.If you sleep this way,you can reduce the posibility of shoulder pain,backache,and headache.
Hardness:
Which is better,a soft pillow or a hard one?Though some people think the more softer the better,people shouldn't sleep on a pillow that is too soft.The reason is that a very soft pillow will prevent us from turning over.Can't turn over means that we don't change our postures frequently, and some parts of our body will be oppressed in a very long time. Then we will feel painful.
Yeah. I finish this article before midnight. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Mattress
As the saying goes,you cannot make bricks without straw.Therefore,as long as you sleep,you should have good tools to develop your quality of sleeping! In this week,I will introduce two kinds of mattress with different springs that we often see.The first is mattress with link springs(連結式彈簧). The other is mattress with pocket springs(獨立筒式彈簧).
Link spring mattress:
The springs of this kind of mattress are all connected.Therefore,if someone sleep beside you jump up and down frantically,your body will also bounce up and down frantically,too.Moreover,this kind of mattress will easily sink if you sleep on the same place too often.
Pocket spring mattress:
Every spring of this kind of mattress is put in a cylinder.It looks like this.

Hundreds of combination of spring and cylinder constitute a pocket spring mattress.All of them are independent.Therefore,people sleep next to you will not affect you easily,even if he or she keep turning over their body.Well...it still can't prevent you, however ,from waking up if the person who beside you move his or her body as if he or she is a dancer.
Well,thanks for visiting my blog.I will applaud for you if you come and tell me that you finish reading all words above.I think it's not easy at all...
See you next time,if next time exist.
