Dreams

Our dreams bine verbal, visual and emotional stimuli into a sometimes broken, nonsensical but often entertaining story line. We can sometimes even solve problems in our sleep. Or can we? Many experts disagree on exactly what the purpose of our dreams might be. Are they strictly random brain impulses, or are our brains actually working through issues from our daily life while we sleepas a sort of coping mechanism? Should we even bother to interpret our dreams? Many say yes, that we he a great deal to learn from our dreams.

Why do we Dream?

For centuries, weve tried to figure out just why our brains play these nightly shows for us. Early civilizations thought dream worlds were real, physical worlds that they could enter only from their dream state. Researchers continue to toss around many theories about dreaming. Those theories essentially fall into two categories:

The idea that dreams are only physiological stimulations

The idea that dreams are psychologically necessary

Physiological theories are based on the idea that we dream in order to exercise various neural connections that some researchers believe affect certain types of learning. Psychological theories are based on the idea that dreaming allows us to sort through problems, events of the day or things that are requiring a lot of our attention. Some of these theorists think dreams might be prophetic. Many researchers and scientists also believe that perhaps it is a bination of the two theories.

Dreaming and the Brain

When we sleep, we go through five sleep stages. The first stage is a very light sleep from which it is easy to wake up. The second stage moves into a slightly deeper sleep, and stages three and four represent our deepest sleep. Our brain activity throughout these stages is gradually slowing down so that by deep sleep, we experience nothing but delta brain wes—the slowest brain wes. About 90 minutes after we go to sleep and after the fourth sleep stage, we begin REM sleep.

Rapid eye movement (REM) was discovered in 1953 by University of Chicago researchers Eugene Aserinsky, a graduate student in physiology, and Nathaniel Kleitman, Ph.D., chair of physiology. REM sleep is primarily characterized by movements of the eyes and is the fifth stage of sleep.

How to Improve Your Dream Recall

It is said that five minutes after the end of a dream, we he fotten 50 percent of the dreams content. Ten minutes later, weve fotten 90 percent of its content. Why is that? We dont fet our daily actions that quickly. The fact that they are so hard to remember makes their importance seem less.

There are many resources both on the Web and in print that will give you tips on how to improve your recall of dreams. Those who believe we he a lot to learn about ourselves from our dreams are big proponents of dream journals. Here are some steps you can take to increase your dream recall:

When you go to bed, tell yourself you will remember your dreams.

Set your alarm to go off every hour and half so youll wake up around the times that you lee REM sleep—when youre most likely to remember your dreams. (Or, drink a lot of water before you go to bed to ensure you he to wake up at least once in the middle of the night!)

 Keep a pad and pencil next to your bed.

 Try to wake up slowly to remain within the “mood” of your last dream.

mon Dream Themes and Their Interpretations

Being naked in public

Most of us he had the dream at some point that were at school, work or some social event, and we suddenly realize we fot to put on clothes! Experts say this means:

◆ Were trying to hide something (and without clothes we he a hard time doing that).

◆ Were not prepared for something, like a presentation or test (and now everyone is going to know— were exposed!).

If were naked but no one notices, then the interpretation is that whatever were afraid of is unfounded. If we dont care that were naked, the interpretation is that were fortable with whom we are.

Falling

Youre falling, falling, falling... and then you wake up. This is a very mon dream and is said to symbolize insecurities and anxiety. Something in your life is essentially out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another interpretation is that you he a sense of failure about something. Maybe youre not doing well in school or at work and are afraid youre going to be fired or expelled. Again, you feel that you cant control the situation.

 Being chased

The everpopular chase dream can be extremely frightening. What it usually symbolizes is that youre running away from your problems. What that problem is depends on who is chasing you. It may be a problem at work, or it may be something about yourself that you know is destructive. For example, you may be drinking too much, and your dream may be telling you that your drinking is being a real problem.

 Taking an exam (or fetting that you he one)

This is another very mon dream. You suddenly realize you are supposed to be taking an exam at that very moment. You might be running through the hallways and cant find the classroom. This type of dream can he several variations that he similar meanings. (Maybe your pen wont write, so you cant finish writing your answers.) What experts say this may mean is that youre being scrutinized about something or feel youre being tested—maybe youre facing a challenge you dont think youre up to. You dont feel prepared or able to hold up to the scrutiny. It may also mean there is something youve neglected that you know needs your attention.

 Flying

Many flying dreams are the result of lucid dreaming (清醒梦). Not all flying dreams are, however. Typically, dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. Or, maybe youve just gained a new perspective on things. It may also mean you are strong willed and feel like no one and nothing can defeat you. If you are hing problems maintaining your flight, someone or something may be standing in the way of you hing control. If you are afraid while flying, you may he challenges that you dont feel up to.

 Running, but going nowhere

This theme can also be part of the chasing dream. Youre trying to run, but either your legs wont move or you simply arent going anywhere—as if you were on a treadmill (踏车). According to some, this dream means you he too much on your plate. Youre trying to do too many things at once and cant catch up or ever get ahead.
