DREAMS
The human brain is
responsible for many complex creations, but it can’t invent (transitive) the image of people. So the “strangers” that
you meet (intransitive) in your
dreams actually have the faces of people who you’ve once seen
(transitive) in your real life but forgotten
(transitive) , like your childhood mailman or that guy bumped into
(transitive) on the side walk that
one time.
Chances are that
you’ve laid (transitive) their
eyes on more than a few individuals, and so the brain as a huge cast of
characters to play (transitive) with when you drift off to sleep
(intransitive). Except for in the case of extreme psychological disorder, every
human being dreams (intransitive). In fact, in a recent study, students
who were awakened (intransitive) at the beginning of each dream but
still allowed (trnasitive) 8 hours of sleep, all experienced
(transitive) difficulty concentrating, irritability, hallucinations, and signs
of psychosis in a span of three days.
When they were
allowed (transitive) their REM sleep, their brains compensated (transitive)
for the lost time by increasing the percentage of the sleep spent in the REM
stage. Dreams are a window into the subconscious. Even though most of the time,
they’re completely random, disorganized, and we forget 90% of them within 10
minutes of waking up; many people have danwn inspiration from their dreams. Mary Shelly’s
Frankenstein was a based (transitive) nson a dream that she had.
