As a person gets older they lose REM sleep, at every stage of our life we ​​sleep at different times and durations. When a person dreams, it comes to a person at night or when we take a long nap. Dreams can be scary, heavy or a good dream, either way our dreams can keep a person going or surprise them with what can happen next. S. Freud, CG Jung, DE Purdy, and F. Perls conducted dream studies on children, young adults, and adults. All the studies had the same results, but the results showed that children sleep longer than adults and receive a greater amount of REM sleep. Average sleep cycles for a person vary, for example “newborns sleep on average up to eighteen hours, babies one to twelve months sleep around fourteen to eighteen hours, babies one to three, three to five sleep around twelve hours, children five to twelve sleep about nine to eleven hours, adolescents (adolescents) sleep nine to ten hours, and adults sleep about seven to eight hours a night. To me, the most shocking thing is that a pregnant woman sleeps about eight or more hours a night.1 A person might even think that a baby would want to sleep about that much, to feel refreshed. When an adult begins to lose sleep, their REM sleep decreases and they no longer have much time to dream. So as a baby the longest part of sleep is the rapid eye movement phase. Sigmund Freud was a doctor who studied dreams. Freud also thought that our dreams were part of a royal road. He had said that “we do not remember our dreams, that if we are awake during our dream we will remember part of it”. Freud also had the idea that wish fulfillment would be reaped...... middle of paper......many days because something went wrong in your brain it is proven that you don't remember making wishes dreams? when you sleep or even when you dream. If doctors could check why we lose our dreams or something to tell us a reason, or a person can solve it themselves. I know that since I chose this topic and I really like to dream, I could actually remember my dreams, after going three years without knowing or knowing that I had a dream.
