Frequent dreaming and poor sleep? People who often have 5 kinds of dreams should be careful, your body is asking you for help
As the saying goes, "thinking by day, dreaming at night", people often associate dreams with reality, and they are even used to predict diseases.
Ms. Yang from Hangzhou has not slept very well in the past two years. She always dreams. Although she forgot what dream she had when she woke up, she still felt very tired.
Everyone can dream, and anything can happen in the dream, and because of its invisibility and variability, the dream has always carried a layer of mysterious filter, so many people are curious about the dream Attitude, especially when there are some troubled dreams, I will think about dream interpretation.
So why do we always forget the content of our dreams? Is dreaming at night a disease? Which dreams may be a sign of illness? Today we'll find out.
There is actually a reason for this. Psychophysiologist Chen Xilin explained that whether you remember the content of the dream after dreaming depends on the time period when you wake up.
Our human sleep can be divided into slow wave and fast wave sleep. When we just fell asleep, it belongs to slow wave, and when we are deeply asleep, it belongs to fast wave. You will rest and suspend work, and the right brain will take over the work. The right brain is mainly responsible for emotional thinking, so dreams are prone to occur.
At night, slow wave and fast wave sleep can alternate repeatedly. At this time, if you wake up just in the fast wave (deep sleep) stage, then you may remember the content of the dream; if you belong to slow wave dreamless sleep , Naturally, I will not remember what dream I had.
Whether dreaminess at night is a physiological or pathological problem needs to be considered comprehensively according to the specific symptoms, and the two situations can be distinguished.
If it is just dreaming, especially if this situation has lasted for many years, there is no discomfort when you wake up in the morning, you have a sense of comfort after waking up, and if your daily work and living conditions are normal, then this kind of dreaming It can be regarded as physiological, so don't worry too much.
If it just appeared recently, and you still feel that you haven’t slept enough, are very tired when you wake up, and you also feel unwell during the day, then this kind of dreaminess may be pathological, and it may be a symptom of some kind of disease.
In most cases, dreaminess may be closely related to common mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, or endocrine diseases. It is recommended that you go to the relevant hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid harming your own health.
Guo Xiheng, Chief Physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, said that some diseases may indeed sometimes manifest in dreams, as follows:
·Dream of falling from high altitude
Patients with hidden heart disease may dream that they fall from a height when dreaming, and wake up during the fall;
·Dream of walking obliquely
Patients with angina pectoris, myocardial ischemia and other diseases may dream that their body is skewed, walking unsteadily, or even feeling suffocated, and they often wake up suddenly;
·Dream of all kinds of strange noises
People with lesions in the auditory center or hardening of nearby blood vessels may hear strange noises and sounds in their dreams;
·Dreaming of not being able to run
People with coronary artery insufficiency may dream of being chased by gangsters or ferocious beasts, but they can’t run even if they want to. After waking up, they will have lingering palpitations, sweating, and rapid heartbeat;
·Dreaming of not being able to breathe
People with respiratory system diseases may dream of trachea being stuck, poor breathing, suffocation, etc. when dreaming.
Dreams are necessary for the healthy development of the brain and the maintenance of normal thinking, and are a sign of health. Some studies have found that the brain blood flow and glucose metabolism levels are higher when people are dreaming than when they are not dreaming. This is a sign of stronger brain function. If a person does not dream at all, it means that there must be something wrong with his right brain. However, if a person is always dreaming and accompanied by symptoms of discomfort, especially the above-mentioned "disease signals", he should pay full attention, and it is recommended to go to a sleep disorder professional outpatient clinic for further diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
Of course, if you often dream too much and wake up very tired, you can also try self-regulation first, take a walk at ordinary times, and drink some tea that can help sleep, such as [Poria Cocos Suanzaoren Tea].
