Why do all kinds of dreams appear in our brains when we sleep? What is the meaning of dreaming?

As we all know, living creatures have their own biological clock, which is when they rest and sleep. Human beings are intelligent lives, but our bodies are not omnipotent, and we also need to rest for a certain amount of time every day.

research shows that people sleep for one-third of their lives. Some people sleep longer during their lives due to work and other reasons. When we rest and sleep, we often dream.

Each of us dreams. This is a natural physiological phenomenon. If a person cannot dream, it means that there may be a problem with his body, or his life span is about to reach the end. Dreams seem to many people to be a very normal physiological phenomenon, nothing strange, and no research value.


However, the perception of scientists is different. In fact, in ancient times, some wise men have begun to think and study. What is dream? I believe many friends know the famous story of Zhuang Zhou’s dream of a butterfly.

The ancients' interpretation of dreams is more inclined to mythology. From a scientific point of view, there are no gods and ghosts in this world. From a scientific point of view, what does the dream look like? Why do various dreams appear in the brain when humans sleep? What is the meaning of dreaming?

The human body is a very complex and mysterious life body, especially the brain is the core. The reason why human beings can be distinguished from other animals is because of intelligent life and because we have developed intelligent brains. Since the brain is the core of human beings, every aspect of its performance cannot be meaningless. The various dreams that appear in the brain must represent meaning for humans. What is the meaning?


dreamed of scientific exploration and research, starting with the human beings entering the era of science and technology. As early as the 1970s, that is, more than 50 years ago, scientists understood that human sleep includes slow wave sleep, and rapid eye movement sleep. There are dreams in these two stages.

In order to explore the mystery of dreams, psychologists and neurologists and scientists have made a lot of effort. In the opinion of psychologists, dreams are reactions in real life, and dreams exist day and night. The greater the pressure in real life, the higher the frequency of dreaming.

With the advancement of science and technology, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, but people are facing increasing pressure. If the stress during the day cannot be effectively released, it will inevitably affect the work and health of the next day. Dreams are a good way to release the pressure of reality, perhaps the brain's self-regulating function on the body.


Psychologists believe that dreaming is a representative of stress. Is this really the case? Neuroscientists do not admit this statement. That's right. Some dreams are indeed related to reality, daily thinking, night dreams will also be expressed. But not all dreams can be connected with reality.

believes that many of my friends have had many dreams, some of which are indeed manifested in their own lives. Quite a few dreams are very strange and seem to have nothing to do with reality. For example, some friends are programming software. There is a lot of stress during the day, and at night you may have dreams related to software programming, but sometimes dreams have nothing to do with this. In addition, it is the dream of becoming an astronaut in a dream, becoming a doctor and other industries.

These strange dreams, you have never thought about them in your daily life. In other words, you did not have the ideal of being an astronaut, nor did you become an astronaut. However, in your dream you became a glorious astronaut. This kind of dreams that have nothing to do with Japanese thinking occupies a large proportion of all dreams, which shows that Japanese thinking and night dreams are completely incorrect.


If the dream is not the representative of stress and the result of daily thinking as psychologists say, how does it come about? What does it mean to people? In 2000, Anti Reonso, a psychologist and philosopher at the University of Turku in Finland, proposed an innovative theory that dreams simulate danger and dreams can learn to better face danger.

Reonso found through research that many people have images of attacks, chases, and dangers in their dreams. When we face various dangers in our dreams, we perform very well. For example, your body is very agile, you run very fast, and you can fly like a superman. I believe that many people have done the dream of

. The editor himself has faced dangerous scenes such as attacks and chases many times, butIn the dream, the editor is full of magical power, and all kinds of dangers can be easily escaped. Scientists believe that this is actually the significance of dreams to mankind. That is to carry out all kinds of dangerous training, in the three-dimensional world of the dream, be immersed on the scene, and feel the emotions and various reactions in the real environment.


We all know that the dream scene is very real, and sometimes we cannot distinguish whether it is a reality or a dream, so in this kind of close-to-real scene, our senses better train us to feel better training. And it can make us face various dangers in our dreams and form a kind of memory. If the same danger appears in the real world, we can quickly make the correct response.

In addition, scientists believe that dreams can better digest negative emotions. We often say that everyone has a demon in their heart. This demon is a human negative emotion. Since everyone has various pressures such as work and life, under the effect of various pressures, there is a certain degree of negative emotions.

These negative emotions are stored in people's hearts. Once they accumulate to a certain level, they may erupt completely and greatly change their personality. The birth of negative emotions is inevitable. Unless they live in deep mountains and old forests, they have absolutely no contact with the outside society.


As long as you have contact with the real society, negative emotions are inevitable, but dreams can effectively digest negative emotions and always maintain a positive and optimistic mood. Scientists have found through some studies that dreams during rapid eye sleep are particularly prone to be full of negative emotions. This is because the amygdala (the emotional center of the brain) is very active at this stage.

In this sleep stage, the special configuration of the brain can better adapt to the recorded images and emotions by idling. The fear and difficult feelings that occurred the day before are combined with other things that may be irrelevant and more neutral to better digest such negative feelings. This is why the irrelevant things in the dream are strangely connected. Therefore, the shortest way from despair to hope is to sleep well. The research of

scientists also found that dreams will reorganize and reproduce the real events that happened the day before, thereby deepening the memory of the events. Many experiments have proved that sleeping for a while after learning can improve the quality of learning, and the memory is deeper than the same long-term calm. This is also one of the important meanings of dreaming, which is to improve memory and improve learning effects.


Through the above analysis and research, we can see that dreams are by no means meaningless, but are of great significance to humans. In general, the brain makes us dream when we sleep for the benefit of mankind and for the better development of human civilization. This once again makes us aware of the greatness and mystery of the brain, but many mysteries about dreams have not been solved. Only before the further development of science and technology in the future can we truly solve the mysteries of dreams.
