And so, today I will tell you what is a dream, dreams, dreams, nightmares, what is a dream ? Sleep is a natural physiological phenomenon with a reduced level of brain activity. Symptoms of fatigue are primarily drowsiness. Man wants to sleep, eyelids get heavy, eyes water, frequent yawning, consciousness fogs.
Sleep consists of two phases - it's a slow dream and fast. Slow sleep is about 75% of sleep, and fast about 25% of sleep. It is believed that a slow sleep renews a person's energy. During a slow sleep a person is very easy to wake up, because at the time of slow sleep, the person has raised the thresholds of perception. It is during a slow dream that intelligent thoughts come to the person about this or that, however, they are difficult to remember. Just during a slow sleep, there may be attacks of sleepwalking or nightmares, which is also impossible to remember.
A quick dream is similar to a state of wakefulness, but the human body is completely immobile. With a fast sleep, eyeballs very often move under close eyelids, And if you wake a person at a fast sleep, you can hear a detailed story of a dream. Quick sleep is very difficult to interrupt, although it is close to the state of wakefulness.
For me, sleep is something that connects us to another world. Otherwise, how can one explain dreams? Pictures that we see during sleep, or the sounds that we hear during sleep. Dreaming is a subjective perception of the images that arise during sleep. A person during sleep, usually does not understand that he is asleep and assumes everything that sees for reality. It is believed that dreams are associated with fast sleep and rapid movements of eyeballs. It is believed that all people can dream, but not everyone can remember what they saw. Someone recalls a dull and discolored, and someone, on the contrary, sees bright and colored dreams.
Scientists believe that people who see discolored dreams can not perceive colors in a dream, and people who see colored dreams are mostly people with developed fantasies or children.
Everyone knows that dreams can be prophetic. Everyone saw dreams, which later were repeated in reality. Someone sees such dreams often and knows how to identify, that is, interpret such dreams, and use information in reality. This is called onyromanticism , or the interpretation of dreams. Prophetic sleep can only be dreamed of someone who has fallen asleep in a sound sleep, that is, did not use any psychotropic substances, alcohol and sleeping pills including if the sleeper is not hungry and not overexposed. As they say, the hungry dreams of eating, and the overnumbered - nightmares. Also, sleep will not be prophetic if the person is sick or with a long sexual abstinence. Sometimes a prophetic dream can be very clear, that is, a certain image comes to you in a dream and answers the question that worries you, then these dreams do not require interpretation.
Sometimes doing something, or somewhere arriving, we are covered by the feeling that we did it or we were here. We call this - deja vu - this is a psychological state of a person that is not related to the past at all, but it seems to the person that this or that was with him once. Calling deja vu artificially is not realistic, so scientists can not say anything about this. But studies have shown that 97% of healthy people felt deja vu at least once in their life, and people with epilepsy feel a sense of deja vu very often. Perhaps you have something that you do not remember, and what you dream happens to you in life - that's what can be deja vu. When a person is in a dream, the subconscious works, perceiving dreams and deciphering them, and when the person wakes up, consciousness starts to work. The transmission of information by the subconscious into consciousness is deja vu.
A special dream is a conscious dream - this is when a person understands that he is asleep and can control his dreams. Sometimes it is difficult to understand whether you are sleeping or not, or you want to wake up, but it does not work. And here are a few methods for recognizing conscious sleep:
- Pinch your nose with your fingers and try to close your mouth - if you can breathe at the same time, then you are sleeping;
- Find the difference in the situation of the dream from the situation in a similar place in real life;
- Try to read something twice - if the inscription changes, then you are sleeping;
- Scroll in the head the previous minute - if you can not do it, then you are sleeping;
- Try to turn on or off the light in the room with the switch. In a dream, the switch may not work, or cause a strange effect;
- Try to look at your hands for a long time - in the dream they begin to change the appearance.
To learn to control your dreams, practice is required. There are special exercises of influence on the subconscious for the development of this ability. The ability to perceive the very moment of entering into sleep is a special occurrence in a conscious sleep. The essence of it is to preserve consciousness when the physical body falls asleep.
One way to not fall asleep with the body is to go to sleep at a time when the body does not need it. It can be a day's sleep, after physical exertion, that the body feels tired, or a morning sleep, immediately after the night. At this point, you need to try to keep consciousness. By the way, if you woke up in the middle of the night, then at this moment consciousness is between wakefulness and sleep. Catch this moment and try to keep consciousness. To feel a conscious dream, you should have a goal, for example, go through the wall, if you do not have a goal, then you will immediately wake up.
After all that you have written, you can ask yourself a question, but in principle, why do I need it? A conscious dream is used in psychotherapy. For example, if you have any phobia, then when entering a conscious sleep, try to recreate what you fear and enter into this state. Try to control what you recreate. Thus, with the help of conscious sleep, you can get rid of fears and phobias.
And finally I want to wish you, sleep well, let your dreams be kind and beautiful. Sweet Dreams.
