6 Strange Facts About Dreams
Share
TweetDreaming is a very important and necessary process that can guard people against developing psychological problems. Famed psychiatrist Freud called dreams “the royal road to the unconscious". He believed that the strange imagery in dreams could be explained as some kind of symbols that represent specific conflicts in our lives, often of a sexual nature. Not all experts accept the freudian theory that wish fulfillment is one of the major functions of dreaming but people do often work out issues in their dreams that are causing them distress in the waking world.
Night Courses
Hectic schedules and the constant information from the Internet sometimes make us feel like we can’t fit any more knowledge into our brains. But researchers continue to collect evidence that dreaming helps us absorb things we’ve learned during the day. Several hours of uninterrupted quiet time allows the unconscious mind to replay and review your new job duties or your struggle to learn Spanish in your spare time. Some research suggests that studying before going to bed can increase the chances you’ll dream about the material you’re trying to learn.
Everyone Dreams
Everyone dreams every night even if you don’t remember your dreams. We spend 2 hours or more every night dreaming and scientist used to think that we only dreamed during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) parts of the sleep cycle, but new information suggests we can dream during other parts of the cycle as well, although our bodies require a certain amount of REM sleep. Waking up too soon from a dream and forgetting dreams when you wake are common complaints. Yet, experiments suggest that lying still in the same position you woke up from a dream in, can help keep the dream from fading from your short-term memory.
