From: Naushad Charivilayil<chittardigi...@gmail.com> Date: 02/01/2012 12:48 AM I am pasting an article about how to enhance dream below. Acetyl choline& Dreaming Acetyl choline is a neurotransmitter, a chemical that carries messages between brain cells. Most dreams occur during rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep, when acetyl choline levels are high, as they also are during alert wakefulness. By observing the effects of deficiencies, scientists know that acetyl choline is essential to sleep, dreaming, learning and memory, although the precise nature of the connection is unclear. A healthy diet gives you all you need, but increasing your intake of foods rich in lecithin and B vitamins might help encourage more vivid dreams. Boosting the acetyl choline in your diet may encourage vivid dreams, but dream researcher Ryan Hurd advises exercising caution before taking dream-enhancing dietary supplements, since they can also encourage nightmares. According to Bastyr University, foods containing lecithin, often added as an emulsifier to mayonnaise, sauces and dressings, promote the production of acetylcholine in the body. Eggs, seafood, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, dairy products, nuts and other foods rich in B vitamins are all sources. DREAM RESEARCH Much is known about the physiology and biochemistry of sleep, yet why dreaming is vital to mental and physical health remains a disputed enigma. Some researchers maintain that dreams are the sleeping brain's equivalent of deleting junk email to highlight more important messages. Others ascribe great significance to dream imagery, believing it to be the language used by the unconscious to communicate with the conscious mind. Harvard University emeritus professor J. Allan Hobson, a modern pioneer of dream research, theorizes that whether asleep or awake, the mind has an overwhelming need to extract meaning from experience. A simpler theory holds that sleep and dreams are simply nature's way of keeping us out of trouble at night.

Before losing my sight, my dreams used to be visual with little participation from the other senses. But after losing sight, my dreams are now more balanced between the visuals& sounds. Perhaps the continuation of the visual portion of the dreams is because my brain has learned how to see& still applies the memories of things seen previously into my dreams.

Hello friends, A very nice& interesting topic to discuss. It's an opportunity to know, how different people express their thoughts& desires while dreaming. We never decide to visualise unpleasant dreams, but still sometimes we see them. I would like to share my feelings& views on the same, hope many have the same view on this! I lost my vision about 26/years back, but still now in dreams, I see colours, faces& objects, which I never saw even! May be I am a late blind& seen colours& faces etc, helps me to visualise the things better, but how, is my question? I think, while talking to someone or touching or listening about something, we imagine a basic image of that person or object& in our dreams also we imagine that only. We might not visualise it actually, but as we imagine during talking, touching or listening, we imagine the same& say we can see all while dreaming. It's all our imagination power, which really allows us to see in dreams& smile! Sometimes in my dreams, I know I am blind, but still I see certain colours, objects etc, really don't know why? It's really a puzzle, how I visualise things in dreams, that too very clearly! I even see new things also very well! Very surprising, but it's true. I always regret, when the dream gets over! Thanks& regards On 1/28/12, Naushad Charivilayil<chittardigi...@gmail.com> wrote:We can assume human brain as an information limited sub-reality machine. Human brain create a sub-reality about what you see, hear, touch or feel through the skin. This phenomenon is called persistence. Remember, when your conscious, brain create a sub-reality, that happened micro-seconds ago. Same way, Brain can create a sub reality in the form of dreams because of your previous experiences like, peculiar thoughts, persistence of your surroundings, fearful experiences during your childhood period and so on, in the presence of subconscious mind. In this case your brain does not have previous experience of vision. So it is impossible to get a dream with eyesight.

Hello all, I lost my vision gradually and now even no light perception. If I am talking about dreams, no any difference between present and past. Same human being's faces, moments and world which I saw earlier. In my daily routine life, I feel same visualization of objects, places and relatives of which I saw in my past. Many times, during conversation, my mind starts to imajine very minor human actions like moments of eyes, lips, nose, including entire body according opposite person's voice and situation. So several times, I forget whether I have really no vision. I don't know it's a power of strong imagination, visualization or memory. Yes, it's true, now having no colour perception, my mind doesn't focus on colouring world, so many times, I use to ask colour of objects, and then no problem! Still waiting for experiences of totally/blind members. While writing mail, one more query, Is there any devise which can show our visualization or night dreams? Really smiling. Thanks a lot for all interest. Bijal. On 1/24/12, hemase...@ingvysyabank.com<hemase...@ingvysyabank.com> wrote:I too lost my vision over a 10 year deteriorating period.

Did you lose your eye sight instantaneously (as in an accident like Harish) or over a very brief period of time (like Payal ) ? In such cases, the images stored in your brain must be crystal clear till the "n- 1'st moment. In my case, I lost my vision over a 10 year deteriorating period Perhaps, my brain stored progressively degraded images. Does this explain the difference between the two sets of contradictory reports ?

Hi, My experience is totally different. I still see the images and colours and evrything else as vividly as I used to. I can even see the faces of people exactly as I remember them and also as Harish wrote of those I have never seen.

As if, the archived visual data is degrading over aperiodof time. This is surprising, since I was under the impression that the brain continued to store information with data integrity even long after the individual could actually recollect it. I have read about experiments where electrical stimulation of brain areas made the person actually hear a song long after he had ceased to remember it.

Hi Bijal I suppose, dreams are just the manifestation of the world of your awakened conscious state. What ever gives sensory inputs, those wouldbereflected in the dream state. Continuing with Vetri's comments, sexual experiences in dream would be triggered by biological factors like those of hormones, scent, thoughts etc. Interesting topic.
