How To Have Pleasant Dreams at Night

Everyone has dreams, but we don’t always recall what we dreamed about. In fact, we might think we didn’t even dream one night, but we dream every time we sleep deeply.

Our most vivid dreams occur during a kind of sleep called “REM.” REM stands for “rapid eye movement,” because our eyes move back and forth quickly. “Vivid” means bright and lively. Our brain is very active during REM sleep. During the night, we have REM sleep every 90 to 100 minutes. REM periods last as long as 45 minutes. We have more dreams during other phases of sleep, but they are not as vivid. We dream about many different things. When we go to sleep, our brain begins to take bits and pieces of memories and put them together into a dream.

Our brain is like a giant filing cabinet. Everything we see, hear, taste, smell and touch is remembered by our brain, and put into what we might call a “brain file.” When we read a book, watch a television show or video, listen to music, eat some ice cream or pet a soft rabbit, it is all recorded in our “files.” Our brain pays attention even when we don’t! We call those files our memories. Usually, we don’t even know all those things are in our head!

There is a way to help yourself have good dreams. While falling asleep, you can start thinking about a happy situation and, often, a dream will begin from the happy thoughts. Doing this is called giving yourself “pre-dream suggestions.”

Sleep Scentsations is the perfect product to help with pre-dream suggestions and the pillow scents will do all of the work for you.  Because the aromatherapy is inhaled into the limbic system (the part of the brain that stores memories), certain scents will trigger certain thoughts.
