An Attempt At Understanding Dreams
Words: 3418 - Pages: 13.... by knowing that I'm dreaming and that
nothing bad can happen to me. This helped me in a lot of annoying dreams before

hormone is released into our bodies. Because of the pineal gland and melatonin,
humans have known to sleep at night and wake during the day since long before
the age of alarm clocks.
Humans don't produce melatotin right from birth; it is transfered in utero
to babies through the placenta. For their first few days o .....

There is also another point that has to be looked at which is future medical advances.
