Alien Letter

Dear E.T

How's it going? you home yet, well I just wanted to tell you about the great world of dreams and sleeping.
Sleeping is a way the human rest itself, like how everything that runs on energy needs to rest for it to regain its energy back or else it will die from exhaustion. Sleep is one of the most important things and best things in the life of us humans, to sleep is to dream and to dream is where some things are found out, Creativity, Love, Power, weakness, Comedy.

It is said that you can die faster from sleep deprivation than food deprivation. The average person will spend 25 years of their life asleep.In the brain, the Hypothalamus it thinks sleep is very important therefore we need sleep even if we don't want to sleep, our brains is like a timer, it will release sleep hormones like Melatonin and when we wake up it releases awake hormones like cortisol. All mammals and birds sleep, Reptiles, insects, & fish exhibit sleep-like behaviour. Sleep could be a way to keep you still so you attract less attention if you are in any danger because our brains need as much sleep as our bodies do. Sleep allows the brain to rejuvenate and maybe more importantly, Sleep is when our brains reply & store the events of the day. Dreams

In ancient societies, dreams guided political, social and everyday decisions. Early books, Including the Bible, are filled with references to divine visions during sleep. On the other hand, Greek philosophers attributed dream content to natural sources, which were precursors of modern theories of dream formation and significance. In the 19th century, Sigmund Freud promoted one popular theory that dreams gave us access to our unconscious repressed conflicts. He called them "the royal road to a knowledge on the part of the unconscious plays in mental life." However, another early psychoanalyst, Alfred Adler, believed that dreams reflect current lifestyle and offer solutions to contemporary problems.  (http://sleepfoundation.org/sleep-topics/dream-and-sleep).

 Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology. Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleepwhen brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times dreams sleep. At times dreams may occur during other stages of sleep. However, these dreams tend to be much less vivid or memorable. 

So yea that's all the information I could gather, thanks E.T and later lol
