Dreaming 'vs.' Sleeping!
    #6475566 -

Please tell me, what makes you separate the two?

And do take time to write it from the day you was first born, till today, if that is needed to explain it.

I am actually SURE that an objective answer, using an subjective example, would benefit all of humanity, and so on...

I have trouble knowing when to use "an" and "a", BTW ...

Please do correct my spelling too...

I love it!

*using A subjective example... (i'm not sure but i think "an" is used when the next word starts with a vowel letter, probably with some exceptions but i'm pretty sure that's basically it)

i don't really separate the two except only when i vegg in front of the TV and nod, not exactly sleep but there are these vivid dreams or lapses into dream state.
it often happens when i'm very tired but i refuse to go to sleep so i let my self nod off but somehow i remain semi conscious

i was close, here's the dictionary entry for "an"

1 Pronunciation (n; n when stressed)
indef.art.

The form of a used before words beginning with a vowel or with an unpronounced h: an elephant; an hour. See Usage Notes at a2, every.

[Middle English, from Old English n, one; see oi-no- in Indo-European roots.]


Word History: The forms of the indefinite article are good examples of what can happen to a word when it becomes habitually pronounced without stress. An is in fact a weakened form of one; both an and one come from Old English n "one." In early Middle English, besides representing the cardinal numeral "one," n developed the special function of indefinite article, and in this role the word was ordinarily pronounced with very little or no stress. Sound changes that affected unstressed syllables elsewhere in the language affected it also. First, the vowel was shortened and eventually reduced to a schwa (). Second, the n was lost before consonants. This loss of n affected some other words as well; it explains why English has both my and mine, thy and thine. Originally these were doublets just like a and an, with mine and thine occurring only before vowels, as in Ben Jonson's famous line "Drink to me only with thine eyes." By the time of Modern English, though, my and thy had replaced mine and thine when used before nouns (that is, when not used predicatively, as in This book is mine), just as some varieties of Modern English use a even before vowels (a apple).


it's interesting, i never thought it stood for a numerical representation of a word although it kinda makes sense :tongue:

I must learn grammars one day..

I learned to spell more and more impeccably..

But "vowel"?

It just reminds me of an old game-show host..

I really wonder why it won't stick though...
I learned it a hundred times, if not more.. But I forget it as easily...

:confused:

Maybe I did invent my own grammars, ...

Dreaming is conscious, sleeping is not.

however when one gets more and more familiar with concentration and trance states, sleep becomes more conscious.

It's well known scientific (and esoteric) knowledge that while one part of our brain is typically engaged in conscious rationality, another part is constantly dreaming. That means that we're dreaming, right now, while we're awake. We also dream during 'unconscious' sleep. Only at certain points, when the two poles are balanced (waking and dreaming) do we encounter 'conscious' dreams. That's why most dreams occur right before you wake up, and why many people experience strange visions and experiences while falling asleep. Psychedelics and other mind altering substances help bridge these two sides, bringing them into balance, so that the waking consciousness seems dreamier and dreaming seems more lucid. When one starts paying attention to the contrast, and making an effort to bridge the waters, you'll be able to dream constantly, which can be beneficial if one knows how to interpret their subconscious imagery. The subconscious is all-knowing, connected to everything and everyone in the universe, but typically doesn't express itself directly, and thus needs to be interpretted as metaphors. Haha, life is a metaphor.

When I sleep I SLEEP.  I find that I personally do more day dreaming when I am bored in my network operating systems class :cool:.  I never really had any conscious dreams while sleeping except on those restless nights, and they where never decent dreams anyways, probably attributed to something I ate.  On the other hand when I day dream it's usually about being outside on a nice day, or some of those hopeless romantic dreams I have, sometimes I explore my god complex or ponder the entirely random.  I know it doesn't help answer your question but I see dreaming as something you need to want to do, it happens more for me when I'm in a good or carefree mood and awake, but when I sleep there isn't even movement =D.
