What to do to have dreams

In the past, people believed that during sleep, a person seemed to partly die, as his soul went to travel to other worlds. Today, the scientific view offers another explanation for the fact of dreams. While a person is sleeping, his subconscious shows him hidden desires and ideas, any clues unnoticed by the mind. Psychotherapists actively use dreams as a tool for interacting with the inner world of patients.

Not everyone has colorful and vivid dreams. Some people just don't remember them. It rarely happens that someone really does not have dreams at all, rather, he is simply unlucky to wake up “correctly”: dreams immediately disappear from his head, leaving no trace.

Dreams are a part of human life that has not been studied very well by scientists. Not so long ago, it was thought that they only happen during REM sleep, but it has recently been found that during deep sleep, the subconscious mind also shows a person its stories. If you wake up in the fast stage, remember your dream well. But if the slow phase of sleep became the moment of awakening, then you will not be able to remember what you saw. Biology provides such an explanation.

It can be a consolation that people tend to wake up during REM sleep. An alarm clock or someone's persistent attempts to wake you up can pull you out of the slow phase. To make sure you're dreaming, try waking up without an alarm. This may require you to go to bed earlier so that your body can get enough sleep. Put a tape recorder or notepad near your bed, and as soon as you wake up, say or write down everything you remember about your dream. So you learn to remember what you see, in the future it will be possible to do without auxiliary means.

Sometimes people really rarely dream. This is due to the fact that a person experiences such heavy loads during the day that at night the subconscious mercifully allows the mind to simply rest, not observing anything. If you get too tired, rethink how you organize your day. Most likely, starting to lead a more calm and measured lifestyle, you will notice that you have begun to dream again.

Also, dreams are rare for those who are doing well in life. Psychologists say that people cover up restless or disturbing dreams. But if nothing worries or disturbs you, then dreams can be serene and happy, so the likelihood that you will not remember them increases. For those who have a happy time, but who do not have enough dreams, we can recommend to be more interested in films, books, and various phenomena in the world. Those things that will shock you will certainly be reflected in dreams.

According to the esoteric view of dreams, a person does not remember them, thinking that he does not see when the connection between mind and soul is damaged. Your subconscious is a kind of bridge between them, but somewhere along the way there are problems that prevent the movement of information along it. Perhaps you should do something to make that connection. Reappearing dreams will be a sign that everything is in order.

Dreams are seen by all healthy people, even babies and the blind. But many do not remember them at all, so it seems to them that they are deprived of the pleasure of seeing vivid dreams. In order for dreams to remain in your memory, you need to follow a number of simple recommendations.

Instruction

Don't overwork. Develop an optimal daily routine in order to have time to do the most important things during the day. If you literally fall down from fatigue late at night, you have very little chance of remembering your nightly dreams.

Before you go to bed, mentally give yourself the setting that you will remember everything that you dream about at night. From the first or second time, you most likely will not succeed. But if you regularly continue to tune in to remembering dreams, sooner or later everything will work out. There are small nationalities and tribes whose population can not only remember dreams in great detail, but also manage them. Experiments of scientists prove that any person can develop such abilities in himself. And if managing dreams is not included in your plans, then learning to remember them is quite within your power.

Stay in bed for a few minutes after you wake up. Do not open your eyes and think about what you have to do today during the day. Dreams often continue to live in such a borderline state of consciousness. Do not try with great effort to remember what you dreamed about. Just catch the images that come at this moment.

Keep a notebook and pen by your bed. If you wake up in the middle of the night, don't try to fall asleep quickly again. Write down what you like. It's okay if you write in the dark in scribbles and abbreviations. In the morning, after reading your notes, it will be easier for you to remember the dream during which you woke up. But if you fall asleep again, it is very likely that in the morning you will not remember either the dream or the fact of your brief wakefulness in the middle of the night.

Ask someone close to wake you up at three or four in the morning. Usually during these hours a person is in the stage of REM sleep. It is at this time that the brain does not rest, but works most actively. The most vivid and unusual dreams come precisely in REM sleep. If you are abruptly awakened at this time, then it is most likely that the plots of the dream will remain in your memory.
