Dreaming With You
Tuesday May 24, 2005 6:00PM PT
When you lay your head down on the pillow tonight and close your eyes, there’s one sure thing. And it has nothing to do with snoring, although sleep apnea is a serious issue affecting millions. The sure thing about tonight’s bedtime is that at some point, you will lapse into REM sleep and begin to dream. While we have no idea what you’re dreaming about — it could be unicorns and rainbows for all we know — we do know what types of dream searches snooze their way onto the Buzz.
Dreaming
Searches on “dreams” are up 53% over the last month, and dream searches are most vivid for younger Web surfers. A whopping 75% of “dreams” queries come from the under-24 demographic, perhaps indicating that no one over 24 has time to analyze and search for answers to their dreams. Or perhaps the dreams of everyone over 24 are broken and lay in a pile of regret by the dirty clothes. We’re hoping for the former!
Those searching on “Meaning of Dreams” were overwhelmingly women, with 80% coming from ladies trying to puzzle together why Tom Cruise was jumping around a plushy couch like a maniac while they slept. Oh wait, that really happened? Oops. Before we hit the snooze button on this topic, we’d like to share a few top dream searches from the past week. Sweet dreams indeed…
