This topic is not the same as the one called 'Do You Believe in Dreams?' as it does not discuss understanding dreams, but instead the perspective is the physical effect it has on you as a human.
As far as I understand based on input by the Architect, when you arrive at Rem 5 (measured intensity of unconscious - 5 is the most deep) your dreams are the deepest. During this phase you are so deep in the unconscious world that you are no longer sensitive to the world outside of your dream (for instance - someone trying to wake you up). The purpose of this thread is to discuss how these kinds of dreams can actually give you the impression of being tired or drained more than making you feel refreshed. Have you ever felt that way?
I hate to sleep that deeply. When I get up after dreaming so deep like this afternoon, my head hurts and I feel so thirsty!. I hate the feeling. Most of the time when I sleep so deep is because I'm having nightmares.
I find I am all right if I awake from a dream naturally. However, if something startles me out of my dreams, such as the alarm clock or the phone ringing, then I am usually quite exhausted. This seems worse than when the alarm clock awakens me, but I wasn't in the middle of a dream at the time.
I refer to these kinds of dreams as 'workout' dreams because I get up feeling like I just went to the gym. For me most of these workout dreams have developed based on activities or thoughts during the day, but for some reason they are exaggerated by my subconscious. There are also the types of dreams that leave you sad and you can see that you were actually crying by the tears on your pillow.
This type of dream actually visit me quite often. I wake up still tired and can hardly get up from the bed and go to school also my bed itself is a mess like I was rolling all night long. I don't know the physical effects of those dreams though.
