DreamSpace: Self-knowledge through dreams.

The most important step to using dreams as a tool of self-knowledge is to write down your dreams, through these notes you can increase the frequency with which we dream, that is, your brain will understand that dreams are important to you, and will make it easier remember them. It is advisable to write down the dreams as soon as you wake up, as the time passes, the memories can become more and more vague. If you are not in the habit of taking note of your dreams, in the beginning, remembering them will not be an easy task, but as you do this activity dreams become more frequent, clear, and meaningful. And you, do you already have this habit? Do you know the benefits of this practice? #dreamspaceen #habits #meditation #highperformance #psychoanalysis #awereness #selfknowledge #dreamanalysis #yoga #mindfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUpWJkHxlR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fs4oaqdv08tu

The fourth stage of the cycle known as REM (Rapid Eye Movement), corresponds to 20 to 25% of its sleep time, in this phase of sleep the brain waves reach the theta state, usually we enter this state after 90 minutes of sleep. An adult performs, on average, 6 cycles of REM, making it conducive to having multiple dreams in a single night. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ During REM the brain is more active, it is at that moment that most dreams occur, your eyes move rapidly in different directions, your heart rate and blood pressure increase, and your breathing tends to become faster and more irregular. This phase is also related to transferring memories from the short to the long term. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dreamspaceen #dreamspaceapp #habits #meditation #highperformance #psychology #mind #hypnosis #brain #dream #dreams #awake #awereness #freud #jung #selfknowledge #conscious #subconscious #dreamanalysis #lucid #luciddreams #psychoanalysis #learn #study #aboutdreams #selfstudy #yoga #wisdom #powerofnow #mindfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzDwgZHagH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qik95r8ebo0k

The third stage of the cycle known as heavy sleep corresponds to 20 to 25% of your sleep time, at this stage the brain waves are in the delta state This is the stage of deep sleep in which the muscles completely relax the body becomes less sensitive to external stimuli such as movements or noises. This phase is very important for body repair as the body will try to recover from small lesions that have arisen during the day, and the growth hormone is released. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The brain waves of this sleep stage are similar to meditation (dhyana), the big difference is that you are not conscious at this stage, and in meditation you are. #dreamspaceen #dreamspaceapp #habits #meditation #highperformance #psychology #mind #hypnosis #brain #dream #dreams #awake #awereness #freud #jung #selfknowledge #conscious #subconscious #dreamanalysis #lucid #luciddreams #psychoanalysis #learn #study #aboutdreams #selfstudy #yoga #wisdom #powerofnow #mindfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMAnexnY-r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=udck4es9wzdw

The second stage of the cycle, known as light sleep corresponds to 45 to 55% of your sleep time, at this stage breathing, temperature, and heart rate decrease while the brain waves go through two phenomena, the first, called " Sleep Spindles "which are sudden outbursts of oscillatory brain activity. When this phase is reached repeatedly a person's performance over a newly acquired activity or skill will be intensified. Some scientists believe this phase indicates the transition from short-term to long-term memory. The second phenomenon that happens is the "K-complexes" that are bigger brain waves capable of undergoing changes through external stimuli. If you want to take a nap, it is recommended to wake up after this stage. #dreamspaceen #dreamspaceapp #habits #meditation #highperformance #psychology #mind #hypnosis #brain #dream #dreams #awake #awereness #freud #jung #selfknowledge #conscious #subconscious #dreamanalysis #lucid #luciddreams #psychoanalysis #learn #study #aboutdreams #selfstudy #yoga #wisdom #powerofnow #mindfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/BvF-UgNF2mG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g5h5qr1q7vzr

The first stage of the cycle corresponds to 2 to 5% of your sleep time, during this stage you will still be able to answer questions, but you will hardly remember what you said or heard. When we lie down and begin to fall asleep, our brain waves move from the alpha state, a time of extreme relaxation that the human being is able to reach conscious, to the last level that you reach in consciousness. During this transition, our muscle activity becomes lighter and hypnic spasms can occur. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Little is known about these spasms, here are some of the possible explanations for their occurrence: - These spasms allow us to watch the environment for the last time in order to ensure that the place is safe to fall asleep; - Message from the body telling the brain that it is ready to sleep; - As you fall asleep, your brain misinterprets the relaxation of your muscles creating a false sensation of falling, and to protect it signals to your muscles to contract. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Another curiosity is that over 5 thousand years ago this stage of sleep was used in a part of the yôga called yôganidrá, for emotional reprogramming after the relaxation, because it was known that this stage makes learning possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dreamspaceen #dreamspaceapp #habits #meditation #highperformance #psychology #mind #hypnosis #brain #dream #dreams #awake #awereness #freud #jung #selfknowledge #conscious #subconscious #dreamanalysis #lucid #luciddreams #psychoanalysis #learn #study #aboutdreams #selfstudy #yoga #wisdom #powerofnow #mindfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-JkyOl8cj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1svrvq1hwkmf6

For older scientists to fall asleep could be understood as a phase of shutdown, a passive state that keeps the body and mind in the process of recovery for the next day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some time later, it was discovered that this process was much more complex than imagined, and that during the sleep period we go through several phases of depth with different patterns of brain waves, and depending on the stage of sleep you wake up, it is possible feel more or less willing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These stages repeat cyclically and have a duration that can be modified throughout the sleep period, but they vary from person to person according to age, environment, heart rate and waking time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ People who study dreams seek to understand their phases, for the stage you awaken can compromise or aid your dream memories. Some people use alarms to wake up at a certain stage by taking advantage of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the next postings we will delve into each of the stages of sleep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dreamspace.en #dreamspaceapp #habits #meditation #highperformance #psychology #mind #hypnosis #brain #dream #dreams #awake #awereness #freud #jung #selfknowledge #conscious #subconscious #dreamanalysis #lucid #luciddreams #psychoanalysis #learn #study #aboutdreams #selfstudy #yoga #wisdom #powerofnow #mindfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu5RyTWFBSd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=srf20uutzr47

Several factors can influence our quality of sleep, such as eating, practicing physical activities, accumulating ideas before bed and even our emotions. However one reason many people do not know is how the level of melatonin present in our body can affect sleep quality. Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the body in dark environments and is responsible for inducing sleep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ About an hour before bed what are you doing? Even at night we remain very exposed to light due to the use of electronic devices and for this reason the production of melatonin is reduced, consequently impacting the quality of sleep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The recommendation is to slow down, about an hour before bedtime start throwing ideas on paper and gradually turn off the ambient lights. Also be sure to always turn on the night mode on your mobile or computer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dreamspace.en #dreamspaceapp #habits #meditation #highperformance #psychology #mind #hypnosis #brain #dream #dreams #awake #awereness #freud #jung #selfknowledge #conscious #subconscious #dreamanalysis #lucid #luciddreams #psychoanalysis #learn #study #aboutdreams #selfstudy #yoga #wisdom #powerofnow #mindfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/BuztEUllIGC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v9mq2yrmt8dc

Regardless of age, tastes or customs breathing is one of the most frequent habits in our daily lives, and you should have noticed this, right? Knowing this we will arrive at the following question: are we breathing consciously or unconsciously? Taking science of breathing throughout the day will expand your awareness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The logic is simple, if you are doing something automatically you probably do not do it in a conscious way. Approximately we are only aware of 3% of our brain activities. Imagine now the possibility of doubling this capacity through specific techniques like abdominal breathing. By using the abdominal breathing you will bring more oxygen to the brain increasing your cognitive ability, as well as getting more energy for your daily activities. You know when we're stressed and someone says, "Take a deep breath, count to 10." Through common sense we already know that breathing helps in our emotional management. Initially, we recommend that you observe your breathing during the most varied moments of the day and notice how the modification of it can act positively. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dreamspace.en #dreamspaceapp #habits #meditation #highperformance #psychology #mind #hypnosis #brain #dream #dreams #awake #awereness #freud #jung #selfknowledge #conscious #subconscious #dreamanalysis #lucid #luciddreams #psychoanalysis #learn #study #aboutdreams #selfstudy #yoga #wisdom #powerofnow #mindfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/BuxGDIIAzFp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9e87pbxjmbsz
