Slumbered Sleep

Almost all specialists agree that while the
substance may be altered or misrepresented,
dreams occasionally contain elements
that connect to waking events. For instance,
even when someone’s appearance
is altered in a dream, people frequently
mention familiar faces in their descriptions
of the nightmares. Though the significance
of real-life elements that occur in dreams
is still up for debate. According to the “continuity
theory” in dream study, themes and
content in dreams and in waking life are
interwoven and therefore share similarities.
In contrast, the “discontinuity theory”
believes that dream thought, and awake
thinking are structurally different. (Sunni,
