Dreaming...

So after my dreamed filled night, it made me think why do I dream so much?

It just so happened that when I thought to blog about this topic, I found an article about dreaming on yahoo's page today. http://health.yahoo.net/articles/womens-health/8-things-you-didn%E2%80%99t-know-about-dreams

My husband and I have had discussions about dreaming a few times, and he always says that he doesn't remember his dreams most of the time. I am the opposite though, every morning when I wake up I remember at least 1 of my dreams, if not more. Most of my dreams are not pleasant either. It seems like my brain never shuts down at night. I wake up in the morning and wonder if I really fell into a deep sleep at all. I'm sure it is because I don't know how to just let things go... I'm either thinking about work, finances, life stresses, friends' concerns, etc. It isn't so much that it bothers me that I dream because I know we all do; it is more the fact that I remember them clearly.

On a positive note, after reading the yahoo article it says that dreaming can help you learn. So I guess dreaming isn't half bad, huh?

Maybe I'll try counting sheep tonight...
