So, there are several basic groups of postures that can tell a lot about a person. But this is only in general terms. And in order to understand the whole picture of the psychological state of a person, it is necessary to carefully monitor the position of his body: hands, fingers, feet, head ...
The first pose, the so-called "embryo pose", when a person lies in the position of the embryo (ie on his side, pulling the bent legs to the chest). This position of the body means that a person is dependent, needs guardianship and protection from a stronger one. Most likely, the sleeper with such character traits will occupy the upper corner of the bed and lie facing the wall.
The pose at which the person lies on the stomach, hands are located above the head, legs are stretched, and the feet are slightly apart, indicating accuracy, accuracy, exactingness; a person sleeping in such a pose always applies maximum efforts to the realization of the set goal.
A person who feels safe, confident will sleep on his back face up, arms and legs stretched along the trunk, in a relaxed position. This posture during sleep also speaks of some self-confidence and self-praise.
The person who lies on his side with his legs slightly bent while lying awake, is balanced and adequate, he really looks at things and has not a small share of common sense, he is objective and his future does not scare.
Consider the position of the legs and hands. If a person hangs his foot (legs) from the edge or the end of the bed, then he is far from being conservative and supports everything new, renounces many of the generally accepted norms. If the ankles are crossed during sleep, it means a weak self-organization, uncertainty, weakness. In a person prone to comfort, comfort, not prone to conflict and capable of compromising, the legs lie clearly one on the other (that is, the ankles, knees and hips). People, by nature dependent and unsure of themselves, during sleep hold on to something (blanket, corner of the bed, pillow, mattress). Hands, thrown over the head during sleep, elbows are diverted to the side, and the head lies between the palms - this is a pose typical for a person who uses mental abilities as his primary defense element.
If you are trying to understand what a person's posture means in a dream, then consider the environment and the sleeping conditions. Naturally, in a cold room a person will lie wrapped in a blanket. And if the room is switched on and other people are awake, then the sleeper will most likely turn his back on the wall, cover his head with a blanket or a hand, just so that his sleep does not get in the way. Correctly interpret the sleeping pose can only be if the conditions for sleep are optimal - the bed is comfortable enough and wide, no foreign objects (or, for example, a dog) do not interfere with taking your favorite pose.
