For some people, dreams at night are something quite natural. There is a third type of people who dream periodically - they come every night, or they have been gone for months.
Why do dreams sometimes not come? Are there any explanations in this regard? There are answers, and there are many. There is no unequivocal opinion regarding the problem even in the scientific community.
Why do not dream - the opinion of medicine and biology
The most common and logical answer to this score comes from the field of natural sciences. Sleep has long been investigated, it has several phases, among which are fast and slow. The fast phase comes every hour or a half, it lasts 10-15 minutes. During this period, a person dreams, if woken up during a fast sleep, he will tell what he saw.
Interesting fact: The REM phase can be noted visually by observing the sleeper. He can make small movements, even speak or make sounds. This phase is also observed in other mammals - dogs and cats, obviously, also see dreams. They also make paw movements, dogs can bark strangled in a dream, reacting to events that they see.
A person may complain about the lack of dreams and say that they don’t dream at all, but in fact it happens that he just can’t wake up during the REM sleep phase - because of the schedule, mode, habit, or for other reasons. REM sleep occurs several times a night, because the phases of sleep are cyclical.A person sees several dreams, but only remembers the one on which he woke up.
Why do not dream - the opinion of psychologists
There is another version - psychologists argue that the lack of dreams can be associated with overstrain in the daytime. If the brain was overloaded with work or other worries during the day, at night the mind rests without dreamsTo unload completely, do not get additional impressions. Indeed, if there were many impressions per day, dreams are extremely rare. Although if you properly prepare for sleep, disconnect from daytime worries at least half an hour before him, calm down, they may well come.
Another explanation from the field of psychology is that adults hardly remember ordinary, kind or neutral dreamsremember only disturbing. Such dreams dream in a state of mental stress - when a person is happy with life, he does not care about anything, they do not dream. It turns out that the periods when dreams are remembered fall only on tense moments of life.
Esotericists can even say that the absence of dreams is the result of a wrong life, the absence of a connection between the material body of a person and his spiritual substance - the soul. You can discuss the issue for a long time, there are many different opinions, because the phenomenon of dreams is not fully understood.
Specialists can say that in different phases of sleep, the human brain behaves differently, gives completely different signals, and never turns off completely. And why exactly dreams, why they are remembered or not remembered - there is still no exact answer to this question, neither about people, nor about representatives of the animal world. Nevertheless, the issue remains relevant. Indeed, during sleep, sometimes an amazing experience comes.
Interesting fact: it is worth remembering that Mendeleev could see his table in a dream. Sometimes the subconscious transmits information in exactly this way - and precisely the one over which the mind has been straining for a long time during wakefulness.
Thus, according to science, everyone dreams, but is not always remembered. If a person wakes up during the REM phase, he will remember that he had just seen, right before waking up. If not, he can claim that he did not see dreams. In fact, dreams come to every person, several times a night.
