What's wrong with dreaming too much

People dream when they sleep. Dreaming is a normal physiological manifestation of the human body, but we also need to pay attention to the process of dreaming. Sometimes dreams can reflect our physical condition. Frequent horrible dreams indicate that such people are under a lot of pressure or jealous recently, and often yearn for something. However, it is normal to reflect many things that you have been thinking about recently through dreams. What is going on with dreaming too much?

Dreaming is a normal physiological phenomenon

People dream when they sleep, and dreaming is a normal physiological phenomenon of the human body. Dreams that occur during REM sleep will be remembered; on the contrary, dreams that occur during non-REM sleep will not be remembered and we will not be aware of them.

Everyone dreams every night because human brain cells are always active. The clarity of consciousness decreases during sleep. When thoughts, memories, and imaginations in daily life stimulate certain parts of the cerebral cortex and leave traces, while these parts of the cerebral cortex remain excited during sleep, the traces left in daily life become active, causing dreams. Dreams are the presence of external factors in the human brain.

"Dreams don't come true"

As the saying goes, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night." When you desperately desire something, you will dream about it at night. Once the dream becomes a reality, you will think that your dream has come true. Professor Zhang told reporters that this statement makes no sense.

The dream came true, it was just a coincidence, it was the result of sensitive, suspicious and extreme people connecting some unrelated things. People usually dream about things in their lives. Things that happened when they were young may be dreamed about one day when they grow up. If they can't find something they put it somewhere, they may see the location of the thing clearly in a dream. These are all subconscious and not dreams that have really come true.

Normal dreams will not affect your health

People sometimes talk in their sleep. It is often said that you should not talk to others when they are talking in their sleep, as talking may make them sick. Professor Zhang told reporters that what people say in their dreams is unconscious, so it will not have any impact on the human body. Talking in sleep is a sign that the part of the cerebral cortex responsible for speech is not completely inhibited when a person is sleeping. When the excitement of the cerebral cortex is relatively strong, people will not only talk nonsense while sleeping, but also move their hands and feet randomly, grind their teeth, etc. In severe cases, they may even sleepwalk.

Nightmares affect health

Screaming in a dream is also called a nightmare. If a person encounters danger in a dream, such as being chased by someone, he will scream when he is very panicked. Nightmares are often related to a person's mental factors. If you are weak, nervous, or under stimulation, or watch horror movies or violent materials during the day, you will have related nightmares at night, especially if you are timid.

When people are overly excited, the secretion of serotonin increases, which can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and cerebral thrombosis. When a person has a nightmare, he must be woken up in time, because it is easy to cause pain during the nightmare. When the person wakes up, he will also suffer from depression, anxiety, insomnia, poor rest, and slow reaction. Such situations will continue to recur, posing a great threat to human health.

Dreams can predict some health conditions

Some people dream about eating, looking for the toilet, being chased, arguing, fighting, or even losing their teeth. After waking up from a nightmare, they often feel worried and in a bad mood.

Studies have shown that if you have dreams with roughly the same content for a long time without any artificial factors, it is very likely that a part of your body has become diseased and is sending you a signal. Dreaming about eating and feeling nauseous may indicate potential stomach diseases; dreaming about losing teeth may be related to digestive and respiratory system diseases. If a person often has nightmares, it is because the brain is overly excited, which may be related to the frequent activity of the brain without proper rest.

Although dreams can remind us of our health conditions, it does not mean that we have any disease just because we have a dream. This is unscientific. If you have dreams of the same nature repeatedly for a long time, you need to be vigilant and go to the hospital for examination in time.

Some people regard dreams as hints of reality. When people cannot give a rational explanation for the phenomenon of dreams, it will cause mental stress. This is incorrect. We should understand dreams scientifically and not be superstitious. In addition, everyone should develop a good sleeping habit, so that sweet dreams will accompany you until dawn.
