Some Facts on Dreams and Dreaming:
1. Most dreams are based on visual images, except in people who were either born blind or who lost their sight at an early age. Occasionally, dreams will include sound and touch.
2. The normal rules of logic do not apply in dreams. For example, the dream may be taking place in one location. Then, abruptly, the dreamer is translocated to a completely different place.
3. Most dreams occur in a house, but this is usually not your own home. The most frequently reported room is the living room. People rarely dream about their workplace or school.
4. The most frequent scenario is the dreamer plus two other people.
5. Famous people seldom appear in our dreams. The vast majority of people dream about people who are significant to them, especially if there is an ongoing conflict.
6. Mundane activities, such as brushing your teeth, rarely appear in dreams.
7. Dreams tend not to be happy events, and the three most common reported emotions are anger, sadness and fear.
8. Some themes are so common that they are reported the world over. These universal themes include the loss of a tooth, falling or flying, exhibition, arriving late for exams or other important events and being chased or attacked.
9. Cross-cultural research indicates that our dreams reflect normal life events in our own country and culture.
10. There appear to be some differences in the content of dreams between the two sexes. Specifically, women are more likely to dream about their children, family or household activities. Men are more likely to dream about strangers, violence, sexual activity, achievement and outdoor events.
