Your imagination is working overtime, well done :)

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is the normal stage of sleep characterized by rapid movements of the eyes. It was discovered by Nathaniel Kleitman and Eugene Aserinsky in the early 1950s. Their seminal article was published September 4, 1953 (Aserinsky E, Kleitman N. Regularly Occurring Periods of Eye Motility, and Concomitant Phenomena, during Sleep. Science 1953:118;273-274). Criteria for REM sleep include not only rapid eye movements, but also low muscle tone and a rapid, low voltage EEG -- these features are easily discernible in a polysomnogram, the sleep study typically done for patients with suspected sleep disorders.

 

REM sleep in adults typically occupies 20-25% of total sleep, lasting about 90-120 minutes. During a normal night of sleep, we usually experience about 4 or 5 periods of REM sleep; they are quite short at the beginning of the night and longer at the end. It is common to wake for a short time at the end of a REM phase. The relative amount of REM sleep varies considerably with age. A newborn baby spends more than 80% of total sleep time in REM (see also Active Sleep).During REM, the summed activity of the brain's neurons is quite similar to that during waking hours; for this reason, the phenomenon is often called paradoxical sleep. Most of our vividly recalled dreams occur during REM sleep.

 

REM sleep is so physiologically different[citation needed] from the other phases of sleep that the others are collectively referred to as non-REM sleep.

I love that you put this in there like that! Wonderful idea and wonderful contrast to the way you did it! Very DREAM like!

 

The question is... do we actually DREAM in color?

 

Depends on what kind of photographs we prefer. When I began shooting it was assumed that only B&W is artistic. This period I was dreaming in B&W. Now I see usually colored dreams but some times I see also B&W, especially noir style and documentary.

Beautiful Michael and I like the REM recording! My computer blew up tonight and I'm writing from a portable. I will have to cool it for a few days!

Micahel, did you have time to look into sending me the file of the image to be painted? Anyway, I cannot access that mail at present, but hopefully things will be back to normal soon. best wishes,

John
