Physiology & Medicine / Sleeping at the speed of dreams
« on: 19/11/2005 12:47:37 »
I have noticed sometimes the at the moment my wife falls asleep she will jump. This jump will cause her to wake up. When I asked her what happened she will relate some story. For example, she will tell me that she dreamt that she had just been shopping with her sister and they had just come out of a store. Carrying a load of packages blocked her vision and she stepped off the curb unexpectly causing her to stumble. Mind you, this whole dream in my time took about 1 second. She experienced a 5 minute long shopping and walking event. Ok? My question is this, when my wife talks in her sleep she does not talk fast. Why do dreams seem to run at such a fast pace while talking in your sleep runs at normal speed? Is the brain thing behind dreams different than the brain thing behind talking in your sleep?
Thanks much for taking time to read this. I was not sure which forum to put this in so sorry if it's in the wrong spot.
