Dream Benefits: Routine Healing
Everyone dreams. Dreams play a predominate role in our day to day(or night to night) lives and are much needed to maintain psychological and physiological stability. With sleep itself being absolutely vital to maintain physical health as well as mental heath, can dreaming be a sort of biological fail-safe mechanism to aid in the body's regular rejuvenatory process?
When the conscious mind is up and running, so to speak, and is dictating and filtering your every wakeful step, its easy to accumulate stress which can lead to many forms of physical illness. If the conscious mind is unable to modulate the stress, it jeopardizes the overall physical survival rate. If that were to happen, its possible that it would greatly effect the quality of human population, production, integrity and humanity would totally fail to thrive.
It seems likely that there would be an automated recovery process that happens during certain stages of sleep to save us from ourselves. Sure, there are those who engage in substance abuse in order to find relief from stress which often it ends up being counterproductive. Then there are those who use more proactive methods such as Yoga, meditation, music and so forth.
Even when a person spends many hours awake without any type of rest, the body will begin to wain and it becomes less and less capable of supporting itself. The body will eventually force itself to sleep in order to restore its vitality. It said that dreams happen during the REM stage of sleep. REM standing for Rapid Eye Movement. Maybe the rapid movements are associated with the brains attempt to synchronize with the constant imagery that happens during dreams.
Out of all the physical senses, the eyes are the highest receivers of sensory input. Could REM be a physical interpretation of the data being sent from within a dream as its applied to various areas of the body with a healing effect? Maybe this process can be tuned and applied in ways that would afford a person longer periods of wakefulness; Even direct those healing energies to a specific area altogether.
