Everyone dreams and has heard many rumors about dreams, such as what [the person in the dream should go to see TA when he wakes up] [thinking day by day, dreaming night], etc.
Why do people dream? What is the meaning of what behind the dream?
Dr. Clove will tell you five questions about dreams.
Why would I dream? Why would I have such a dream?
I have no idea.
This is true. Now it is the 21st century, and brain scientists have not worked out why.
However, brain scientists are not all without research in what. Modern brain scientists believe that the main reasons for dreaming may be:
- The by-products of the brain when cleaning up memories generated during the day; The meaningless results of random brain waves in sleep; Cartoons played to prevent people from getting bored when they fall asleep.
However, what most people prefer is to understand [their real self] through the analysis of dreams. Therefore, the most common question they ask about dreams is:
Dreaming of snakes indicates a desire to be rich? Dreaming that losing teeth indicates a health problem? Dreaming of falling from a height indicates a desire for care?
… …
In fact, a 1977 study found that sometimes the reason why we dream is that the brain interprets it after the body is stimulated by the outside world.
Therefore, dreaming seems to have some functions of [healing wounds] [integrating memory] [helping thinking], but it is far-fetched to list this as [the reason why we dream].
Why do some people never dream?
One fact is that everyone dreams every day after falling asleep. It’s just that some people don’t remember having dreams, others still remember them.
Then why don’t people always remember those dreams?
Some scholars believe that in a deep sleep, the memory function of the brain will be [turned off] just like the motor function. Only when the brain function gradually recovers when waking up will the dream be [remembered].
Some scholars also believe that our dreams are stored in memory, but we generally cannot [take] them out, and only occasionally [suddenly think of] the dreams we have had.
Other scholars believe that dreams are a mixture of existing memories in the brain, just like a movie through a kaleidoscope, and [film] has long been stored in the brain.
Some people will worry: Is it normal that I never remember having a what dream or even having a dream?
In fact, we can think like this: I don’t remember my dream, how nice it is! If you remember every dream, there is no guarantee that you will not be unable to distinguish reality from dream.
Why do you think [I dreamed about this]?
Has anyone ever had such an experience: when he was clearly awake, he suddenly felt [I said this sentence in my dream] or [this is what I dreamed before]!
This phenomenon is so common that there is a specific name to describe it. The word is still romantic French: d é j à vu, literally meaning [already seen], or [accomplished].
Many people have their own explanations for this, such as past lives, reincarnation, miracles…
But what brain scientists say is: There is nothing mysterious, some epileptic patients do.
Medical experts have studied epileptic patients with such symptoms and found that when abnormal brain discharges spread to an area called olfactory cortex, patients will have a sense of accomplishment.
This abnormal discharge not only occurs in epileptic patients, but also occurs in most normal people.
The difference between them is that during the onset of the disease, the brain function of epileptic patients is definitely affected, while normal people with accomplished vision will only be confused for a moment.
One of the more famous hypotheses holds that the reason why [accomplished vision] occurs is that the brain circuit responsible for generating memory is short-circuited, which makes us mistakenly think that the memory came from before, but it is actually fresh and steaming.
Is there any way to control the dreams you are having?
In 1913, scientists put forward the concept of “lucid dream”. Lucid dream refers to suddenly realizing that one is in a dream while dreaming, and then it is possible to control the direction of the dream according to one’s own wishes.
However, controlling dreams and lucid dreams are completely different things. People have the ability to control dreams even if they do not realize that they are dreaming.
Conscious control of dreams is said to help us overcome nightmares, practice difficult challenges in reality, gather inspiration and heal psychological wounds.
But who is this?
There are quite a few people in the world who pursue the state of “lucid dream”. They have proposed methods such as “practicing dreams”, “conducting reality tests” and “seeking dream markers”. Some even offer business courses for this purpose.
The ability to have lucid dreams can indeed be cultivated, but its benefits really need not be pursued too much.
Ah, it’s a dream again
In fact, this is very normal. The vast majority of boys, under the action of androgens, will have some [strange spring dreams], and most of them will have some [strange spring dreams], and most of them will have some [strange spring dreams] several times a week, and less of them will have some [strange spring dreams] several times a lifetime.
There are also times when boys will find that they ejaculate when they are asleep and wet their underpants, which is wet dream.
Sperm is produced in the testis all the time, and it is normal physiological phenomenon that the pressure in the [storeroom] needs to be released when it is too high.
At the still ignorant stage, boys will not masturbate or have sex, so sperm will only be released when they relax their vigilance in dreams.
Wet dreams are as healthy as moderate masturbation, and some strange spring dreams do not mean that you are a [pervert]. After all, those are just dreams, and you have not really done that.
