1) If you are unsure you are dreaming, read something and the majority will not be able to read in the dream, same goes with looking at a clock, in a dream, the hands will not move. Though lucid dreaming you can do all this.

2) Many people have tried gaining control over their dreams, also called lucid dreaming. You are in control of the dream, though I would say that if you are lucid dreaming you are probably going to be more tired when you wake up because technically you're conscious is still aware of the surroundings and not really dreaming or sleeping, I think sleep is letting your subconsious take over,

3) There are many inventions inspired by dreams. Here are a few examples, and there are more:

• Alternating current generator -Tesla
• DNA’s double helix spiral form -James Watson
• The sewing machine -Elias Howe
• Periodic table -Dimitri Mendeleyev
• The idea for google = Larry Page

4) These are some astounding cases where they dreamt of an actual event the same way that an event in the future happens. To add to this, I believe all dreams have meaning, Sometimes we dream of future glimpses. Here are some cases who dreamt of the event before it actually happened.

• Abraham Lincoln dreamt of His Assassination
• Many of the victims of 9/11 had dreams warning them about the catastrophe
• Mark Twain’s dream of his brother’s demise
• 19 verified precognitive dreams about the Titanic catastrophe

5) There are two characteristics of sleep paralysis. One being not being able to move, hence the name paralysis. The second is a sense of an evil presence in your surrounding. It feels like 100% real.

6) This is the state of rapid eye movement. The stage in your body that is usually paralysed. In some rare case people act on their dream and may end up with roken arms or broken furniture.

7) Dreams generally, if you really think about it, are very artworthy, they can be very detailed. Which makes the dream look realistic at the moment you are dreaming.

8) Blind people who were not born blind can see images in their dreams but people born blind can't see images but dreams are just as intense and interesting as other people's dreams.
