Everyone knows the phrase that a person spends in a dream almost a third of his entire life. Depending on age, physical condition and individual physiological characteristics, a person needs from 6 to 8 hours of proper sleep. There are, of course, individuals who are capable of feeling full of energy even after 4 hours of sleep. But this is rather an exception to the general rule. Doctors say that we need sleep not only to rest physically. The moment we sleep, our brain not only structures the information received during the day. In a dream, all organs and systems of the body are "tested". It can be compared to a computer hard disk defragmenter. If a person is sleep deprived, then this process of tuning and testing does not take place in his body. Oncologists saythat in 60% of cases, their patients had difficulty sleeping. Of course, one cannot speak of insomnia as the main cause of oncological diseases, but its presence is one of the prerequisites for such diseases.
In a dream, a person's brain receives signals from his body, and if some organ or system of vital activity is not in order, then at the time of sleep a person can receive information about this in the form of dreams. This can be called a truly "prophetic dream." How can this be? A simple example. In the afternoon, a person got wet feet, froze on the way to work or home. By evening, there are still no symptoms of a cold, and he goes to bed calmly. At the physiological level, the "cold" has not yet manifested itself: there is no cough, no fever. In a dream, a person may dream that he is being strangled, held down his throat with a knife, or something similar. Waking up in the morning, he begins to feel a sore throat and other clinical manifestations of a cold a few hours later. "Prophetic dream" and "sleep in hand" - and in this, of course, there is nothing mystical. Just a brain"Scanned" the human body and sent the corresponding "encrypted" signal about the disease.
There are two phases of sleep - fast and slow. We will dream of dreaming in both phases. The difference is that in chalked and deep sleep, they are most often neutral and poorly remembered.
It is very difficult to "wake up" a person immersed in a deep phase, and if he is prone to somnambulism, then it is in this phase that he can talk, and even get out of bed. Vivid and memorable dreams come to us in a rapid phase. The dreams that we remember best and can reproduce most often visit us in the morning and a few minutes before waking up. They are often unreal, phantasmagoric, and vivid. For example, it is enough to recall the famous painting by Salvador Dali, which is called "A dream caused by the flight of a bee around a pomegranate a second before awakening." The brilliant artist was able to transfer to the canvas those very strange, grotesque and unreal visions that we sometimes see in our dreams. Beauty Gala sees, a second before her awakening, an unreal elephant on slender spider legs, and tigers rushing at her,and the fruit of a cracked pomegranate itself. The buzzing of a bee, as an external annoying factor, transformed into a surreal picture of sleep. The artist himself said about his painting that the purpose of his painting was an attempt to artistically depict a type of long connected dream, which is caused by an instant impact, from which awakening occurs. This type of sleep was discovered by Z. Fred, who, as you know, was the first to talk about sexual implications in human dreams.was the first to talk about sexual overtones in human dreams.was the first to talk about sexual overtones in human dreams.
But not only about suppressed sexuality or hidden diseases, dreams can speak to a person. Often in a dream we receive answers to questions that we could not solve for a long time, in a dream we talk with those who are no longer with us, we visit unknown countries. It is believed that a person cannot see in a dream only what he has an idea of and has already seen before. That is, a dream is just a projection of our daytime experiences and sensations. But people who practice lucid dreaming question this theory. And how then to explain the fact that many people, even those who do not practice lucid dreaming, in their night travels ended up in the so-called "Sunset City". What is it and what does it look like? Without exception, all "dreamers" say that they saw this city exclusively at sunset, hence the name. The architecture of the metropolis could be different, but always houses and other buildings were painted in pink and gold tones of the passing day. Another interesting detail: you get to this city by elevator. Moreover, elevators in this phantasmagoric metropolis travel not only vertically, but also horizontally. This is its main feature. Therefore, the "Sunset City" is also called "the city of horizontal elevators."
People who own the technique of lucid dreaming can enter this world on purpose. But even those who do not practice this knowledge, at least once, have been in it. There is one more interesting detail that can speak in favor of the existence of "collective dreams" and the reality of everything that happens in them.
Alina has been to the "Sunset City" more than once. Only she did not know that he was called that and thought that it was only in her subconscious that such bizarre images were born. In her dreams, she often got into the elevator, pressed the button for the desired floor, and the car began to move. The elevator picked up speed, and the space around Alina began to change. The walls of the shaft and the cabin became transparent, and it rose higher and higher. In real life, Alina was very afraid of heights, but for some reason, in the transparent cube of the elevator from her dream, she did not feel anxiety. At some point, the cabin changed its trajectory and stood horizontally. The laws of gravity seemed to cease to operate on her. The elevator continued to glide smoothly through the air, and no supports or supporting cables were observed. Alina's inner gaze imagined a fantastic city,painted in warm sunset tones. This spectacle was so exciting and frightening at the same time that Alina literally "pulled" herself out of the dream, and then lay awake for a long time and could not come to her senses.
Sometimes she had another dream, as if she were walking along a glass passage over an abyss. The transition had no beginning, no end, what it held on was also incomprehensible. A strange landscape stretched under the girl's feet: it was both familiar and unrecognizable. The girl woke up from strong emotions. One day she met a young man. They talked about dreams, and Alina said that her strangest and even worst dream was a glass bridge. She described her feelings and the landscape that she saw in a dream. The young man was surprised: periodically he also saw the same dream, and the situation completely coincided. The girl began to be seriously interested in this issue. It was then that she learned about the fantastic city in the rays of the setting sun. A specialist parapsychologist explained to her that this city can be considered the fruit of a collective consciousness. Many people dream of getting there consciously. He reassured the girl, and said that the next time she gets to this place in a dream, she just needs to calm down and try to explore the city. No need to jump out of sleep. The cabin will not fall and it will not break. You need to go further and try to remember as much as possible from your dream. He said the same about the glass bridge. According to the parapsychologist, this is the road leading to the same city, and you should not be afraid of it, you just need to trust your subconscious and follow it. Only in this way, you can discover new worlds and unexplored spaces.and it won't break. You need to go further and try to remember as much as possible from your dream.

There is one more opinion about the "Sunset City". This metropolis of our dreams is nothing more than the mythical “Heavenly City of Jerusalem”, which is located exactly ABOVE the sky. It is hidden from our eyes, and so far we can only get there in our dreams. But this is only a theory that has yet to be confirmed or refuted.
