Aleksandr Shurlov - God’s gift or God’s mistake? Mind, life, sleep, fatality, clairvoyance

You just have to meet these real psychics and predictors of the future. I, for example, have not met them yet. And I was not personally persuaded by those who consider themselves such and those who are shown on television.

First, briefly about what a dream is. A man’s sleep consists of several cycles, each about an hour and a half. And each cycle, in turn, consists of five stages. Four stages of slow sleep and one stage of fast sleep. The stages of slow sleep are drowsiness, superficial sleep, delta sleep and deep delta sleep. The stage of fast sleep is also called the stage of paradoxical sleep because of such a paradox: the body is relaxed, but the brain works hard, and the eyes move quickly. The stages of slow sleep prepare us for the stage of fast sleep, that is, to dreams.

What else is interesting about our sleep and dreams?

Children start experiencing the stage of drowsiness at the age of eight. Until the age of eight, children are either awake or sleeping soundly, they don’t know how to really nap. We often envy children, the way they can quickly fall asleep and carelessly sleep. Only a few people say that this their ability is due to their mental state, and not just a physical feature. All the animals see dreams, but predators see more dreams than their victims. All due to the fact that predators have less reason to fear for their lives, and they can relax enough to watch dreams. Although, of course, this is not a statement, but a hypothesis. Or just a logical conclusion, if you want, because most of all we are relaxed when we dream. And this is due to the fact that our brain produces a special enzyme, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) and glycine, which “turn off” special cells in the brain that are responsible for muscle activation.

Many scientists believe that every dream is a conversation with yourself and about yourself. We are not surprised at all in a dream, because all the miracles that we see are nothing more than our own thoughts, sensations and inclinations. But, this is far from reality. And in this book I’ll tell you about this, and there are very many examples that it’s not so.

When your sleep does not interfere (extraneous sounds, uncomfortable posture, cold, heat, hunger or thirst, pain, etc.), the dream takes place at a slower pace and lasts just as much as in the ordinary life the events that you dreamed of last. For example, if you go to a friend in a dream, then the road in a dream will take as much time as in real life. Our dreams last from five to thirty minutes. But, it is necessary to add, that more often it occurs in a phase of fast sleep. And there are many over the night.

When nothing interferes your sleep (extraneous sounds, uncomfortable posture, cold, heat, hunger or thirst, pain, etc.), the dream takes place at a slower pace and lasts just as much as in the ordinary life.

But, it is necessary to add, that more often it occurs in a phase of fast sleep. And there are many of those over the night.

There are no people who don’t move in a dream. All people have twitching and sudden contractions of muscles while sleeping. I once really liked how my brother, rising from the pillow and flapping his arms, shouted a word “touch down” in his dream! It’s good that he scored goals in a dream. In real life, he managed to do it rarely.

And I like to listen to what the person says in a dream. It’s so amusing for me. Not always what you hear is easy to make out. But, when a person very clearly mutters or says something, and sometimes screams, it really amuses me. By the way, I caught myself many times because screaming or talking loudly in a dream.

There is such an interesting feature of some people that is called somnambulism. This is walking in a dream, it occurs at the first stages of a slow dream, when the muscles are not weakened. People suffering from somnambulism mostly repeat the usual actions from their daily lives, to which they had developed an unconscious habit. But it is not always the case. To see it in reality is not everyone’s luck. But, for example, I managed to see this twice. One comrade, possessing this property, was called Konstantin. So, he was at my place and stayed for a night, and at night I woke up to go to the toilet. Walking past the dining room, I saw him, in the moonlight, standing at full height, and in his hands he had a chair. You should have seen this picture yourself. Just some kind of a house with ghosts. When I decided to turn on the light and ask what he was doing there, it turned out that I woke him up. He dropped his chair with a fright on the table on which the dishes stood. Of course, they were shattered. You should have seen his face. He didn’t understand where he was and what was happening to him, because he really slept.

The second case happened also in my house, with my friend named Ivan. You won’t really believe in this story. It is very funny and sad at the same time. You can safely send it to a column “you can’t invent it on purpose”. All this happened at the time when I lived in Rostov-on-Don. My friends and I watched football at my house and at the same time drank beer and ate king prawns. We were six people and everyone decided to spend the night at my place, so it was not just once. I spread them all over the sofas. Many have already fallen asleep when I heard a strange sound of a murmur of a stream or its noise. All we know this sound well, because we all go to the toilet. I jumped like stung. I switched on the light in the next room, where I heard the sound. I saw a terrible picture. Ivan stood in the middle of the room, holding his cock in his hands and pouring a large coffee table with his jet. I kicked him with my feet, so that he fell down. Apparently, this woke him up, and he immediately stopped peeing. Nearby there was a sofa, drops even got onto a guy on it. I started screaming at Ivan:

– What is it? How can you do it? Completely crazy, white fever or what?

He told me that he really thought he was in the toilet, and that it seemed to him like a dream. He also said that he often suffered from somnambulism, and some things in his house suffer from this. So one night, he just broke the remote from the TV into pieces, thinking that it was a branch for a fire. Not everyone will see people suffering from somnambulism in his life, and I was a personal witness, as well as my friends.

Dreams are seen by everyone, and several times during the night. Even those who are blind from birth see dreams. Our night sleep consists mainly of five cycles, one and a half hours each. It turns out that for a night you see, at least, five dreams. But, I quite often see more dreams. In a quick dream, a person almost always sees bright events accompanied by strong emotions, and in a state of drowsiness – quiet dreams that look like thoughts..

Those who like to sleep see dreams twice as often as those who sleep a little. Scientists claim that after stress, when nerve cells get shaken, a person sleeps without dreams, and one who leads a sluggish life and has long forgotten about shakes sees many bright and colorful dreams, because a quick sleep is a training of those nerve centers that have been loafing throughout the day. But, the opinion of scientists is more erroneous and it is not exactly so. Under stress, the person on the contrary can activate the brain’s work so that he sees a clairvoyant dream. I’ve had this many times. The explanation for this is that our consciousness or the unconscious is afraid of our future, which means that it must be convinced and calm down, knowing that everything will be fine with his body.

A little about the children. Even in the womb of the mother, the baby dreams. It is possible that the phase of dreams (fast sleep) helps the development of the brain, so up to two years the child is dominated by dreams. Why have I said “perhaps”? Because in reality, no one knows what the meaning of dreams is.
