Are Humans Naturally Awake Or Asleep?

by JeD on November 29, 2009

Yeah I know the photo should be a human, but I just find this photo funny. :)

It should be a photo of a human. What am I thinking?

Just a thought. Are we humans naturally awake or asleep?

I just observed that in a day we almost spend half of it sleeping and half of it being awake. As we all know, the norm is we humans are naturally awake who just goes to sleep to rejuvenate our bodies. But what if it is actually the other way around? We humans are naturally asleep who just wakes up in the morning. What if the dream land is actually the real world?

Some says that we are naturally awake who just goes to sleep because we spend more time being awake.

  • Well, babies sleeps almost the whole day for 3 months or so. Also consider the time it is being conceived.
  • My grandparents spends their whole day sleeping.
  • It is inevitable that in the end we all are going to sleep and be in the dream land for a long long time.

This reason is arguable, but I don’t think this will be a solid ground for us to say that we all are naturally awake.

Some says that we are naturally awake who just goes to sleep because we dream about what happened to us in the real world.

  • I don’t know if you guys experienced this, but there are times when I was in a certain situation wherein I’d say: “Wait a minute, this has already happened before. In my dream perhaps?” Uhh..what does this instance called again? Deja Vu?

If you guys also experience this, I guess the dream land can also influence the real world.

Some says that we are naturally awake who just goes to sleep because we cannot do in dream land what we can do in real life.

  • I remember eating hamburgers when I was in dream land, bought them in a theme park.
  • I cried when I was in dream land. I was actually in tears when I woke up.
  • I have flied a helicopter when I was in dream land. I was a soldier there.
  • I fell in love when I was in dream land. I saw this very beautiful girl that I have never met before in real life, I can see her face clearly. I searched for this girl in real life. I was in grade 6 back then.

There’s still more that I can’t really remember. I know you guys also has this real-like experience in dream land, something you did and felt like it really happened.

Though I have no basis but my observations and experiences, I’m still siding with we are awake beings who just goes to sleep – just because it is the norm. I welcome whoever can convince me it is, in fact, the other way around. :)

  • Do you wish you were Edward Cullen? Never needing to sleep at all? LOL!

    Have you ever dreamed that you were dreaming in your dream? Nah, it is not a tongue twister.

    Anyhow, I believe that we fall asleep because our eyes and body needs such rejuvenation. As for our dreams, it is our subconscious minds overpowering our consciousness.

    As for me, I got a sleeping problem (or shall I call it disorder?). I normally woke up in the middle of my sleep (3AM) to be exact - almost always. That resulted to me feeling so sleepy in the morning =( I hate it. I always wanted to have a good soundly sleep. =(
  • Whoa! Have you consulted a doctor? Hmm..try to be involve in any sports or hit the gym. :)
  • Nope, I haven't consulted a doctor. And I believe going to the gym [or
    doing some exercise] won't answer my problem. One time, I had my 6.6K run
    at the UP Academic Oval and had slept past 12mn hoping that I won't wake up
    by 3AM. Sadly, I still woke up in the middle of the night.

  • I think we're all in the matrix. Also, and I don't think this is close to being the whole picture, I read that we use dreams to categorize data learned that day in our brains. Our brains try to attach data to similar data that has already formed a brain wrinkle so as to minimize the amount of space it takes up. How cool is that?
  • Wow! Sounds like we are also equipped with built-in defragmenter. LOL! Thanks so much for sharing us new knowledge Heather. That's really cool.
  • Oh yeah, I have my share of almost everything on DreamLanD. Some of them, I do not even dare mentioning:) And you are right, there one time that I was dreaming about a monster who was chasing and after being in a fight with him, I literally fell off my bed, lol. That's real
  • LOL! There's one time I was dreaming about eating cookies. When I woke up, crumbs all over my body. :) Your story is really funny Francisco. Thanks so much for sharing.
