Hello there!!

I am Dimitri and this is my first blog. I don’t have much to say about myself except the long drowsy descriptions so I will leave that to your wondrous imagination. But I do love sharing my writings to one and all. Well, I am not am exceptional author or poet who does wonders with a pen ( or keyboard ) but I am a good thinker , researcher,and adviser. So that’s what I am going to use this blog for.

Here is an excerpt of my research on a deeply mysterious aspect of everyone’s life, dreams.

The biological purposes of sleeping and dreaming are as yet imperfectly understood. People deprived of sleep or of the chance to dream for long periods usually become disoriented, lack concentration and can suffer from hallucinations.

Most researchers believe that dreamless sleep is largely a period of physical rest. Blood pressure, body temperature and heart beat all drop and some body tissues – the skin and the internal linings of the stomach and lungs, for instance – regenerate more readily than at other times.

Dreaming sleep is thought to be primarily a period of mental restoration during which the mind may sort and store new information acquired during the day.

Dreaming sleep is often known as REM sleep, standing for Rapid Eye Movement, because during this phase, the eyes move around visibly behind the closed eyelids as if scanning a picture. Here, although the brain is as active as it is in very light sleep, the sleeper’s muscles are relaxed, and his responsiveness to external stimuli (noise or a pin prick, say) is as low as in very deep sleep. Curiously, humans are not the only animals to exhibit REM during sleep. Other warm-blooded mammals, and birds, too do it, though for shorter periods suggesting that these animals also dream.
