"Oh, my recklessness! How can I see my dreams? "- wrote B. Akhmadulina. After some dreams, these words are immediately remembered. Indeed, sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and with a pounding heart and do not know, maybe never again to sleep, so this with a guarantee did not happen.
Why do people see bad dreams?
What should I do if I have a bad dream?
When a person sleeps, his brain works in a different mode - not the way it is during the day. During the sleep the brain passes several times two intermittent phases: the phase of deep (slow) sleep and the phase of fast sleep (it is also called paradoxical).
The phases of deep sleep are long, they take about 40 minutes. The phase of a paradoxical dream lasts an average of a quarter of an hour. It is during this period that people dream.
How many hours a man slept, so many dreams he saw. Why did not I remember? Because people remember a dream only if the awakening was at a fast sleep phase.
And in these periods, the brain of a person with great intensity "digests" their daytime impressions. Sometimes at this moment is a decision that was not given to a person during the day. It is known that Mendeleev could not correctly arrange the elements in the table, until he saw it in a dream.
And there are also nightmares. This is also fragments of memories, but mixed in a crazy "vinaigrette", because at night, not the mind, but the subconscious minds.
I had a very bad dream - what should I do?
To begin to calm down. Even if it seems that this is a prophetic dream. Even prophetic dreams do not always come true. How many dreams even this night was. Did the man sleep 7 hours? Hence, 7 dreams had a dream. Why this particular, terrible, must be prophetic?
Sleep can indicate a beginning illness, it's true. If you run away in a dream, check your heart. Choking - throat. It smells of rot - stomach. In a dream, you can not get out of the labyrinth - it's depression . But do not be nervous - we should be glad that you are warned at an early stage. Go to the doctor and be treated while the disease is in the bud.
Having seen a bad dream, and not knowing what to do, you can use folk remedies. The most famous of them is to tell a dream of running water. Not everyone has a river under the window, but you can just tell the water from the tap. She will carry a bad dream.
You can stand in front of a window and say to the rolling moon: "Wherever night, there's a dream."
People have long thought of what to do so that a bad dream does not come true. They say that if one does not say a word about a bad dream before dinner, then it is guaranteed not to come true.
Christians do not believe in bad dreams: a believing person should not be superstitious. But if you can not get out of the impression of sleep, you have to take some action. What should a believer do if he has a bad dream? Prayer will help. You can read any prayer of the Mother of God or the Cross ("May God Rise ...", "Guard me, Lord ...") or Psalm 90 ("Alive in Help ..."), make the sign of the cross and not think about it anymore. If the Lord wanted to say something, he would have turned through conscience, not subconsciousness.
