Dream vs not what kind of dream is really "sleep tight"?
Ever thought that sleeping without dreaming at all means that we are asleep really is that or not?
As a rule of thumb, all of us might sleep 6-8 hours a day. And it takes about 2 hours to “dream” each night, probably having a good dream until you don't want to wake Nightmares until waking up with sweat that spilled all over the body. Or a dream in which the story is messed up until the beginning of the end cannot be caught.
But some people think A night that I haven't dreamed of Does that mean that we are sleeping really well, is that really the case?
"Do not dream" means "sleep soundly"?
In fact, we humans dream while sleeping every night, emphasizing that every night, only in many Night, you may not remember dreaming. Which dream we remember Is the dream in which we wake while we are dreaming in the middle of the story. It may be the moment you just go to bed for a long time, in the middle of the night, or during the beginning of dawn. If any night we feel that we haven't dreamed It may be because we are not asleep awake and not as long as it produces more dreams.
Why do we “dream”?
Sleep of people are always dreaming. It is a brain process that works while sleeping in one night, we are not dreaming just one. On average, we may dream four to five each night, but we don't always remember all of our dreams. I tend to remember the last thing I dreamed about because it was the closest aid to waking up. Some people dream in color Some people may dream in black and white. In theory, there is no difference in any way.
The reason why we dream is yet to be determined. But dreams do not come passively, because dreaming while sleeping helps to soothe the mind, as if we were doing psychotherapy by ourselves that we were not able to imagine.
The advantages of dreams
In addition to dreams according to superstition, many prophecies can be found. Dreams are good for us as well. We can only dream from the nonsense that happened in our life back then. Until the matter that we fear Or worry in the past Including bad memories Various situations That happened in real life But we try to avoid that encounter. Our dreaming of these bad things is a brain process that wants to heal our own minds. And accept what happened Or what we fear When we open our hearts to accept them in our dreams Our subconscious will gradually adjust and feel fear. Or feel less bad about those stories As if we were telling a story of concern to the psychiatrist. Therefore, it can be said that dreams can reduce symptoms of depression .
At the same time, if we try to avoid seeing them, not seeing them, We may be faced with the worst things in our dreams all the time. With things that we do not want to face in our dreams You may be able to unlock yourself from our concerns. Or your deep wounded memories from your dreams.
However, if we have a good dream It can help create good memories. Create a good atmosphere after waking up. Affect the mind that is joyful throughout the day as well.
