What is the reason for frequent dreams

Studies have shown that as people's living standards have improved, their sense of happiness has not improved. In the past, people would feel happy as long as they had enough food and clothing. However, solving the problem of food and clothing is no longer a difficult problem in modern times, but many people feel unhappy, which is mainly caused by the pressure of life and work. Many people suffer from a decline in sleep quality due to these pressures.

In addition to the inability to fall asleep, I believe another important reason for poor sleep quality is dreaming. Many people think that dreaming is bad for us. Is this true? Now, let us ask an expert to explain it to us in detail.

Dreaming is a normal and necessary physiological and psychological phenomenon of the human body. After a person falls asleep, a small number of brain cells are still active, which is the basis of dreams. Why do people dream? What would happen if they didn't dream?

Normal dream activity is one of the important factors to ensure the normal vitality of the body

Scientists have conducted some experiments to prevent people from dreaming. That is, as soon as the sleeper shows brain waves of dreaming, he or she will be awakened immediately and not allowed to continue dreaming. This cycle is repeated. It was found that dream deprivation can lead to a series of physiological abnormalities in the human body, such as an increase in blood pressure, pulse, body temperature and the electrical response ability of the skin, and a weakening of the autonomic nervous system. It can also cause a series of adverse psychological reactions in people, such as anxiety, tension, irritability, perceptual hallucinations, memory disorders, disorientation, etc. Obviously, normal dream activity is one of the important factors to ensure the normal vitality of the body.

Dreams are a way to coordinate the balance of the human psychological world

Since the right cerebral hemisphere is dominant in dreams and the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant after awakening, alternating between waking and dreaming during the body's 24-hour day and night activities can achieve a dynamic balance between neural regulation and mental activity. Therefore, dreams are a way to coordinate the balance of the human psychological world, especially having a more obvious effect on people's attention, emotions and cognitive activities.

Dreamless sleep is not only of poor quality, but also a sign of brain damage or disease.

Recent research results have also confirmed this view, that dreams are the result of the brain's regulatory center balancing various functions of the body, and that dreams are necessary for the healthy development of the brain and maintaining normal thinking. If the brain's regulatory center is damaged, dreams will not form, or only incomplete dream fragments will appear. If people experience dreamless sleep for a long time, it is worthy of people's vigilance. Of course, if you have nightmares for a long time, it is often a sign of physical weakness or certain diseases.

The above is the expert’s view on dreaming. We can understand that, in fact, dreams are a normal physiological phenomenon. If we do not dream during sleep, this may be a symptom of physical damage. Of course, if we often have nightmares, it may also be a symptom of disease. At this time, we need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
