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.

Dear Rajesh Sir,

I am a late blind&  have been blind for nearly 11 years now.

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.

One query to all those who have gone blind late in life and have
memories of dreaming both as sighted and blind.
Do dreams remain predominantly visual even after losing sight?

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

2012-01-31 Thread bijal patel
Hello all,
Thanks a lot to make this thread very interesting. Well, Vamsi sir,
what are you thinking this? I was thinking to research on this
subject, Then just hide my desire inside, but not control and thought
to discuss on Access India. I read entire thread till its end.
Now sharing my today’s breaking morning dream. In dream, I was talking
on skype with my friend and discussed about something general news. It
was my own room. Suddenly somebody knocked the door. I could not
recognize who there was, even not visualize his or her face. Then my
papa came with one man and informed me, Bijal, Deepak uncle and aunty
are here. Then I came to know, oh, there was a lady, means aunty.
Uncle asked me, Bijal, how are you? Then I don’t remember and dreamwas
over.
Now points are to be notable:
In dream,
.I could see  my personal room completely.
.I could not  visualize the person’s face because he or she did not
speak anything while knocking the door.
.I could visualize my father’s face and voice because I’ve seen his
face in past.
.I could heard Deepak uncle’s voice because I talked with him on phone
in waking life.  But I could not see his perfect face  and  had to
imagine his face after listening his voice. It might be happened
because I talk him after losing my sight and never meet him till
today.
That's all.
Bijal.

No Sir. Visual clarity is diminishing in my case.

Even sometimes its blurred and difficult to ascertain whether in dream
also I am imagining or actually experiencing the thing. I find a
blue/black type of film hindering visualization.
Now in many dreams, I act in a sighted manner (I lost my eyesight
suddenly, 8 years back) but feel a sense of restriction like conscious
or sub-conscious part of my mind is saying that I am blind and hence
how is it possible?
I too create imaginary pictures especially of human I interact with.
But, inadvertently. And recently after getting it confirmed by sighted
aid I found that it differs in case to case.

Now, it also becomes difficult to determine whether any movie is seen
in sighted or blindness condition.

2012-01-31 Thread rupa mukherjee
Thanks Rajesh,
Many times, sighted people also visualise certain things, which are
actually not there. They also say, there were some important portions,
which they don't remember afterwards. It's actually the state of mind
& some of our imaginations or hopes, which we think in our
sub-conscious mind, while sleeping or just before we go to sleep! That
stress converts into a dream later on!
These are my views, don't know about others

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.

One query to all those who have gone blind late in life and have 
memories of dreaming both as sighted and blind.

Do dreams remain predominantly visual even after losing sight?

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

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.

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

In my case, they definitely do. Every little detail seems to emerge like a
film rolling across a screen. In fact, like was said in some mails, persons
and events that have occurred after losing sight also have a visual

Hello Rajesh,

No it is not always visual , many dreams are having no relevance to
actual life, some dreams does not make any sense and very few are picked

I would like to comment on your line:
"I even see new things also very well! Very surprising, but it's true."...

>From my earlier comments on the matter,  Now it would appear that a person not 
>having seen a particular thing cannot see it in a dream as well.

However, once one has had a sensory experience, in this case of sight, then one 
can easily apply it to hitherto new and unknown objects as well. Even in waking 
life, you would try to visualize anything you have never actually seen while 
you were sighted, and are encountering it for the first time, because you have 
had sense of sight once, and now with cognitive tools available and whatever of 
information other senses furnish about a particular object, you tend to have a 
fix on that object by imaginatively applying sense of sight to it as well.
The same holds true in dreams as well.
However, please note that the visual image you would form of an unseen object 
would not be accurate to the degree expected if you were actually seeing it. 
Still, it would not be totally off the mark, as you are using your cognition 
and information of other senses to form the image.
In dreams, all this gets greatly magnified and distorted.
So, you may have a sense of wonder as how you are able to see hitherto unseen 
objects.
It is a combination of your having experienced sight, present information about 
an object furnished by other senses, your own cognitive setup and dream 
distortion/condensation.
So, I still do hold we do not transcend our sensory reality even in our dreams.

PhD, I may take up a research on this subject.  My sample consists of
born blind, late blind, deteriorating vision conditions, perfect
vision before becoming blind, etc., etc.  I would like to know the
extent and variety of visualisations in dreams across these

2012-01-30 Thread rupa mukherjee
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

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.

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.

dear chandoo,
Your atitudes are positive. Are you congenital blind or acquired?
Because i got the dreams in my n r e m sleep means non rapid eye
movement. I can see the each and everything in my dream.
I was blind in 1982 that time my age was 10 years, although i
remembered my relatives face, colours and dress.
My blindness cause is unknown. Now i am totally blind. But sometimes i
hate the blindness such as in road trafic and in croudy places because
i am staying in the big city of mumbai. I thanks god that he gave me a
sighted counterpartner in my life. Therefore i got some relief.
Thanks with regards,

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.
Best regards,

I wonder how clearly those who have lost sight late in life can have
visual perceptions in dreams?
Whether clarity diminishes with passage of time? because they don't

have

visual sensations now in their waking life?

Hi Bijal

I suppose, dreams are just the manifestation of the world of your
awakened conscious state. What ever gives sensory inputs, those would

be

reflected in the dream state.

Continuing with Vetri's comments, sexual experiences in dream would be
triggered by biological factor

Hello All,

Brain power is really unexplored by science. How can a blind person see
faces of people with just listening to their voice or shake hand but it
is true. The image of any place is formed by spending some time at a
particular area. How can person with no vision guide complete route on
road without any visual inputs. The sense of smell , taste and hearing
becomes powerful , you can judge things by mere heat where every living
or mechanical energy in this world emits heat .The smell sensation
becomes very powerful , it becomes difficult to control but it can be
done with practice. Hearing power keeps the volume at 1 or it can go
down to minimum if focused with no distraction.

RGDS,

Pankaj Kwatra

In some dreams I see all the colours and faces while in some not. My
laptop, I learnt a few days ago, is black. But I had thought that it
is my favourite white, and I continue to see it white! I wear a jacket
which is gray and black, but I used to think that it is my favourite
blue and still I see it blue! I lost vision gradually but pretty
curiously I suddenly realised that I have actually lost a considerable
amount of it because I was habitual of seeing things. This time also
my eyes are full of colours and brightness. Thank you, God!

2012-01-24 Thread Vamshi. G
Hi,

First of all, this is a wonderful discussion.  Thanks for starting this thread.

coming to the point, in none of my dreams was I a sighted person.  I
was always a visually challenged person in my dreams, though I dream
of becoming a sighted person one day(smile).  In fact, I still get a
dream wherein I have to go home with sunlight deteriorating.  This is
because I can't navigate alone in darkness.
This emphasises what learned experts have said, dreams are only an
extension and/or reflection of our personal, emotional, behavioural,
and situational factors.

Coming to impact of  blindness by birth, blindness in childhood and
deteriorating vision conditions on dreams, I can only comment on the
third as I fall in that category.  I can see in dreams only what I can
see when I'm awake.  For example, if it is day time in dreams, I can
see well.  But if I have a dream of boarding a bus during night time
along with someone, I can only feel the steps of the bus, the crowd
around, the bus seats, etc, and nothing else.

Coming to impact of past vision condition on dreams, honestly I can't
recollect how I used to dream and compare it with how I'm dreaming
now.   But I feel I can see more in dreams than what I can see when
I'm awake.  This goes with what Harish sir wrote.

But I can't compare between situations/locations/persons  that I'm
familiar with now or in the past and those I'm not familiar with.  I
feel familiarity with a situation or  location or person has some
impact on his vision condition in his dreams, if the person is
experiencing/ has experienced deteriorating vision conditions.

I request everyone to specifically mention the mail he/she  is
replying to as this is a complicated subject as it would help in
understanding things better.

I also request someone like Rajesh sir to contemplate pursuing a small
research on this issue.  We can come up with a questionnaire and get
it filled by people.  We can then analyse, interpret, and draw some
conclusion.  It can be on a very small scale.

Well, due to memory and reflexive habit,  we tend to visualize to the extent we 
could actually see once.

This holds true for totally blind as well, for totally blind even by birth are 
not usually  plunged into total darkness unless they don't have eyes and so on.
So, we cannot go beyond actual visual percepts, not even in our dreams.
So, I hold all claims of inner eyes etc. to be totally bogus and direly

A person who has never experienced light would essentially dream in a way which 
does not include light, as I do dream without experiencing color as I have 
never experienced it, and experience light only to a limited degree which 
corresponds to my actual light perception.

2012-01-24 Thread Asudani, Rajesh
I do agree that fantom imagery does take place.
Even whatever I could see in my childhood which was not at all very much, and 
was mainly confined to perceiving open windows distinguishing between a bus and 
a truck and seeing Sun or its reflection and the like, continues to be 
recreated  even in my waking life whenever I pay attention to it.
In my trip to Dehradun last year, I was actually mesmerized to actually see in 
my own limited way, the reflection of setting sun in the river.
It brings home richness of visual sense, and also that we continue to recreate 
in our brains the sensory impressions we once had.

However, my visual sense was not to the extent where I may judge whether the 
visualization in waking or dreaming is fading away now or not.
So, it is interesting to hear contradictory reports on this.
Maybe, duration of sight loss has some correlation to it.
But, as Sandeep says, he lost it over a prolonged period like Sudhir.'
So, why the difference?

It is an open question, and I welcome any opinions on it.
And yes, whether visualization/recollection in waking life and that in dreams 
differs in some significant ways?
For me, It doesn't.

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

Hi,
My experience is totally different. I still see the images and

the faces of people exactly as I remember them and also as Harish

No friend,
I lost it gradually over a period of at least 3-4 years. I had 
diabetic retinopathy and underwent laser treatment followed by a 
number of surgeries, so that shouldn't be the reason.

Hi Bijal

I suppose, dreams are just the manifestation of the world of your
awakened conscious state. What ever gives sensory inputs, those would be
reflected 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.

2012-01-23 Thread Kotian, H P
Hi

I cannot speak for others, as I had seen the world in the past, unconsciously 
still associate visual imagery. For instance, when I speak to a person, an 
image is created in my mind and that stays unique to that person. It does not 
matter to me how close or far it is from reality.

In short I do continue to see . Hence,the phantom image is active all 
the time. This holds good for both animate and inanimate objects.

Re: [AI] Query regarding night's dreams of totally/born VI, & hearing /speech impaired.

2012-01-23 Thread payal
 Nothing really diminishes, Rajesh. It is only reduced to being a grey
areaof not being certain whether it was actually perceived or a figment of
one's imagination. I can say for certain that it does not go away
completely. I still use my history of years of visual back up when sighted
to relate to things and events around me. if then, these experiences are
somehow relived in my dreams, they are crystal clear and that, I think is
largely due to the fact I've seen in the past.

The only diminishing comes with the memory of events before and after losing
my sight. It's been such a long time that I sometimes have to check back
whether a particular experience or event has occurred before or after losing
my sight. In fact some events like having watched a particular movie fades
into that grey area of whether it was before or after the sight loss. Here
too, maybe a little out of context, the relating to a film with persons I've
seen remains etched in the mind vis a vis the newer ones where the actors
are not ones I've seen unless the impact of the movie is that strong.

I wonder how clearly those who have lost sight late in life can have visual
perceptions in dreams?
Whether clarity diminishes with passage of time? because they don't have
visual sensations now in their waking life?

Hi Bijal

I suppose, dreams are just the manifestation of the world of your awakened
conscious state. What ever gives sensory inputs, those would be reflected 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.

So please, explain.

Hello All,

Dreams roots are both conscious state of mind and unconscious world
hidden to many people. The perception of late blind does not change as
few things never change for example colors ,shapes etc. The mind stores
data of everything in memory so with no vision object is analyzed with
available data and information is continually updated with learning and
new experiences.

RGDS,

2012-01-23 Thread Sudhir R (NeSTIT)
Yes, indeed, Rajesh, there is a gradual deterioration in the quality of
images during dreams over the last 11 years of my total sight
impairment.  As if, the archived visual data  is degrading over a period
of 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.  Your considered
views on this interesting subject, please, as an expert in human
Psychology. (smile)
