If the person napping is able to continue their train of thought up until they go to sleep, a lucid dream may occur due to immediate REM sleep. The basic definition of lucid dreaming requires nothing more than the dreamer realizing they are in a dream. However, the quality of lucidity varies greatly. When lucidity is at a high level, the dreamer is aware that everything experienced in the dream goes on in their mind, there is no real danger, and that they fell asleep in his or her bed and may wake optionally. With low level of lucidity, they can be aware to some extent they are dreaming, perhaps enough to fly, or modify what they do, but not enough to realize that people in the dream are only creations of their imagination.
The ancient Greeks were the first who tried to explain it "scientifically." The philosopher Aristotle related to the activity of the heart and an "evaporation on the process of nutrition". Likewise, Plato also related dreams with the waking hours and the mental operations (Rizzo, 1998). Even in the Old Testament and Hebrew literature, dreams are particularly important because they considered them as divine revelations. Sleep is a physiological state in which the level of surveillance is diminished and the individual rests.
The onset or persistence of sleepwalking in adulthood is common, and is usually not associated with any significant underlying psychiatric or psychological problems. Common triggers for sleepwalking include sleep deprivation, sedative agents (including alcohol), febrile illnesses, and certain medications. The prevalence of sleepwalking is much higher for children, especially those between the ages of three and seven, and occurs more often in children with obstructive sleep apnea. There is also a higher instance of sleepwalking among children who wet the bed. Sleep terrors are a related disorder and both tend to run in families.

In Siddhartha, dreams seem to enlighten the person who dreams of some greater truth that is stronger than any human being. In essence, “when a man is asleep, he penetrates his
Two different schools of thought exist as to why we dream: the physiological school, and the psychological school. Both, however, agree that we dream during the REM, or rapid eye movement, phase of sleep. During this phase of sleep, our closed eyes dart rapidly about, our brain activity peaks, and our muscles suffer temporary paralysis. The physiological theory centers upon how our body, specifically our brains, function during the REM phase of sleep. Proponents of this theory believe that we dream to exercise the synapses, or pathways, between brain cells, and that dreaming takes over where the active and awake brain leaves off.
The Art of the Sleep Cycle Sleeping, everybody does it, yet we can never get enough. There are many things that can happen while sleeping. Nightmares can occur, constantly wake up and not be able to fall back asleep due to sleep insomnia, it’s possible to sleep walk and perform vigorous activities that are uncontrollable. Dreams are unsolved mysteries caused by the chemical in your brain called Dimethyltryptamine. Even though it may not be believable, dreams occur every time sleeping happens.
The two types of consciousness our text discusses; are the perceptual consciousness and the mental structure of our brain. The Perceptual consciousness is the sense that we have when we know what is going on around us and we can communicate and know what we are saying. The other state is when our minds has a suppressed thought or memory of an image in our unconscious that when it is recalled, passes through our preconscious, that filters the unpleasant parts and guards against anything that may cause anxious or anxiety feelings. This is important to understand this relationship between the three states of consciousness because it is necessary for us the understand how our brain functions and why we do the things we do when we are awake and to understand that if we can control our brain function better, we can better control our lives.

The three classic kinds of extrasensory perception include telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition. This sixth sense that some people might experience comes from supernatural and paranormal means. There are many ways to gain access to a sixth sense and the subconscious: self-hypnosis, visualization, meditation, talking positive, listening and paying attention to one’s dreams, and many more (Rifat, T.). All throughout history, extrasensory perception has been apart of many different cultures and countries around the globe. People have been trying to disprove the theory of extrasensory perception, otherwise known as the sixth sense, but has been proven to exist time and time again, even through hundreds of
