Sleep

-An average human being sleeps around seven to eight hours a day. By the time you turn 75, you would have slept about 25 years of your life away. If only you could take advantage of all this sleep time and attempt to do something somewhat productive during all this time. Well I am here to edify you on the concept of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when the dreamer is consciously aware there are dreaming. This of course comes at different levels. It could range from a slight acknowledgment that you are dreaming and not being able to alter your dream, to full-fledged awareness and the ability to change your dream. With the possibility of lucid dreaming, the benefits are endless.

Perception If sensation is the bottom-up process of converting environmental energy into central nervous system messages, perception is the top-down process to make sense of those messages. Computers and robots simply detect and respond based on a network of predetermined rules. As humans, our previous experiences, opinions, and expectations mold fundamental sensations into individual perceptions; foods have a personal taste, certain music inspires emotion, colors affect our moods. Selective attention, sometimes labeled the cocktail party effect, is the ability to focus our concentration on specific stimuli. We mask the chaos of surrounding sensations and focus our attention on what we interpret to be important.

The term "Gestalt" means "whole" or "form." Gestalt psychology describes several principles of organization to explain sensation and perception as the process of grouping individual parts into a more meaningful whole You probably have seen Federal Express trucks rushing to deliver packages, but have you ever noticed the arrow shape in between the "E" and "x" letters? If not, go take at the log on their web site, or you may even have a package or letter laying around. See if you can spot the arrow.
