Every one

It’s all nightmares (cross out! ) Dream

Hello! Can you be serious?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Almost everyone dreams at night, but some remember and some forget.

Speaking of dreaming, no matter in which era, there are many theories trying to explain the principle and meaning of dreams.

In ancient civilizations, dreams were often mysteriously associated with human body, spirit, morality or fate. It was not until the end of the 19th century that dreams were considered as windows on our subconscious mind, desires and minds.

Why do people dream and always have nightmares? Did nightmares really represent what?

Why do people dream?

If you have read Ding Dong’s article on sleep before, you may have a vague impression that a person’s sleep cycle can be roughly divided into two parts:

    NREM (Non-REM Sleep) REM (Rapid Eye Movement Sleep)

Dreams basically appear in REM sleep.

During sleep, a series of neuroendocrine activities occur in the brain.

Simply put, these activities make the secretion of serotonin, corticosterone, cortisol, dopamine, etc. in the brain completely different from that before falling asleep, just like leveraging a seesaw, allowing the nervous system to enter a new [steady state]. At the same time, during REM sleep, the regions responsible for emotion processing in the brain begin to become active and the regions controlling memory are inhibited.

Combined with multiple factors, people are more likely to dream during REM sleep.

What?

Is that it?

Still not completely clear!

That… really want to say clearly what dreams are, what you see may be such a pile of words:

Serotonin, cerebral cortex, inhibition, activity, prefrontal lobe, logical center, underlying function of nervous system, amygdala, hippocampus, subconscious mind, external information…

Really. I want to. Look.

What I want to tell you is that everyone dreams, and most dreams occur during REM sleep. Most dreams do not have what logic, but the stories in dreams do make people feel strong emotions.

Nightmares are dreams with strong negative emotional experiences.

2% ~ 8% of people suffer from nightmares.

People who have had nightmares all know that some nightmares are very sad, some are very scary, some are very strange, and some are very lonely.

In the worst case, nightmares can interrupt the sleep cycle and wake people up, which is exactly what is called [sitting up in shock during sleep and death, dark wind blowing rain into the cold window].

Statistics show that:

About 2 ~ 8% of the people often suffer from nightmares, of which children and women are more affected by nightmares.

Like ordinary dreams, nightmares are strange and often lack logic.

Some people think that dreams, especially nightmares, are related to people’s subconscious mind, that is, the content of dreams is that the subconscious mind is giving us some important clues. However, modern science does not support this idea at present, and it is generally believed that dreams have no specific practical significance.

It is not surprising to have nightmares occasionally, nor does it mean abnormality.

Does that mean there is no point in having nightmares? Nor is it.

Often have nightmares, is there a problem?

Although not every dream has a special fantastic meaning or some hint to life, if one often has nightmares, one should pay attention.

1. Mental stress

Frequent nightmares may be due to too much mental pressure recently.

Statistics show that:

Mental factors account for about 60% of the direct causes of nightmares.

If you are really under too much stress, please give yourself a little breathing space.

The person who tied the bell must also untie the bell. Everyone has different methods of decompression. It is better to play, sleep, find someone to talk to, even talk to himself, and do some what for himself.

2. Sleep is not opened in the right way.

Bad sleep environment, uncomfortable sleep posture, eating before going to bed, always going to bed late and getting up late… These bad sleeping habits are also easy to make people have nightmares.

Of course, this does not mean that putting your hand on your chest will really lead to nightmares.

If you have these bad habits, let’s change them from today, okay?

Step 3: Be ill

Colds, sleep disorders, drug intake (therapeutic drugs, drugs, etc.) and other diseases can also cause more nightmares.

If you often have nightmares and are not the first two reasons, you need to find a doctor to help you find the inducement. If it is due to side effects of the drug, the doctor will reconsider your medication.

In fact, Dr. Clove thinks that dreaming may be a magical thing for everyone. Some dreams are very sweet and happy, so that they can be happy all day the next day. Some dreams are very sad and wake up crying when they are dreaming.
