At nightfall ..
Why do we need sleep?
The daily rhythm of most people consists of 8 hours of sleep and 16 hours of wakefulness.
But this cycle - acquired during the lifetime habit. The natural rhythm of the individual - the alternation of 3-4 hours of sleep and wakefulness of the same period (as infants).Need for sleep depends on age and individual characteristics of the organism. Children from birth to 4 years of age sleep about 16 hours a day, students under 16 years old - 7-9 hours, and adults - usually around 8:00.
Why are all the same body with a developed nervous system requires sleep, science still does not know. The most common answer - for the rest of the brain. But, as scientists have found a dream - do not "escape from life," and a special form of our "gray matter". During this period the brain is not only "off", but also, conversely, works sometimes more active than when awake.
It is believed that during sleep the body "rewrites" the information from short-term memory into long-term - for this he makes a thorough analysis of the events lived for separating the "flies from cutlets."
Figuratively it can be compared with the preparation of a mosaic pattern, when applied to a piece of a piece, and look: suits you?
That is why in dreams so often the situation is changing: only that you saw a story and suddenly - totally different.
It is the brain, "example" a piece of the puzzle, casts him as wrong, and substitutes another. Thus, gradually creating a true picture of what happened one day, some conclusions are drawn: if all goes well, if you are not threatened any trouble due to an incorrect action. While such an analysis wholly or partially terminate the work of consciousness.
After all a dream - a kingdom of the unconscious.
Slow sleep
After about 20 minutes after falling asleep there comes the first stage of sleep - the so-called slow sleep. During this period decreased metabolism, heart rate slows, breathing becomes shallow and sparse, decreased body temperature, the muscles relax.
During slow wave sleep in humans is not only closed his eyes, but also "disabled" ears.
The muscle that controls the auditory ossicles, when we are asleep, is in a relaxed state, and not very loud sounds the ear does not catch. If the person to wake up during REM sleep, it will be to assure that no dream is not seen. The reason is simple - he had forgotten them, this phase lasted until bedtime.
Although at this time the brain has continued to work actively, but at the moment was not the process of selection of pieces, and a holistic analysis of the mosaic.
REM sleep
During the night 4-5 times slower sleep, which lasts 60-90 minutes, 10-20 minutes, followed by the following condition - fast asleep. This name comes from the fact that the curve of the brain bioelectrical activity during these periods, there are very small, but fast waves. Found that in periods of REM sleep eye movements occur, increased blood pressure, quickens the pulse and respiration, increases metabolism. Sometimes a man says something in a dream. All this is very similar to the waking state of human brain.
It is on the REM sleep dreams are that people remember after waking up.
If you wake up sleeping at the end of this period, he must tell you that he just saw in a dream.
During REM sleep the mind rests and is almost inactive.
In contrast, during REM sleep mental activity of the brain is very high.
It is during REM sleep in the dream man, as it "loses" to a real situation, fixing them in memory. Similarly, during the game puts the child in its memory information about the real world. In children of 10-15 years, the proportion of REM sleep more than adults. A newborn sleep only "fast sleep."
We have seen in a dream the incredible combination of those events that occurred in their lives. Therefore, people blind from birth do not appear in a dream visual images, that is, they do not have the usual visual dreams.
During REM sleep, apart from the usual form, and dreams, which are called "prophetic" - predicting the future.
Scenes from the Future
This prophetic dream - is extremely rare and exceptional. Rational science claims that the more often we see supposedly prophetic dreams, artificially created by us. That is what he saw in a dream-adjusted to the real situations, and if it matches (note - the same) with really occurred, refer to the category of your dream prophetic. Usually we confuse prophetic dreams with similar varieties of dreams.
Creative dreams - the most useful form of dreams, the origin of which has a completely rational explanation.
During REM sleep is thought-work order, which is thought sleeping past day or over a longer time.
Creative dreams - the inheritance of the chosen people, which distinguishes one common quality - the dedication to his work. When the whole life entirely devoted to one cause, their brain operates according certainly generated a system of thought appears in a kind of obsession in the best sense of the word.
In the dream, there are specific laws of logic, memory and reveals subconscious information inaccessible to the waking mind. In their creative dreams, solve math problems, composers wrote music, poets composed poems. For example, Dmitri Mendeleev found the "key" to the periodic table of elements, chemist Friedrich Kekule guessed the cyclic structure of benzene molecule when he dreamed of a snake biting its own tail, Boris Grebenshchikov saw the lyrics, "Rock 'n' roll is dead" and "Garson Number 2 ".
Warning dreams are also very similar to the prophetic
. They can tell you where you lost your keys or where the passport was lost. Here too there is no mystery. You see where to put this or that thing, but not focused on this point.
Only during sleep in the subconscious an opportunity to share this information with knowledge.
By warning dreams and night are the predictions of disaster that scientists explain the influence of media on the subconscious mind of man: if, for example, on television 10 days of the 20 will show the explosions and fires, then on day 21, most likely, also show the same thing.
Physiological dreams - reflect the conditions under which a person is asleep.
Annoying squeak turns into a mosquito flying combat aircraft, a draft in the gaps - in a storm in Antarctica. Often say that a man in a dream sees himself flying into the abyss, or sinking into a pit, after which he immediately wakes up. This dream may come from the fact that sleeping lay down on the left side and impeded the work of the heart.My heart stops for a few seconds, and at this moment can dream of falling into the abyss.
Psychologists recognize that in dreams people can see events that are currently or in the future may occur even at very large distances from it.
Most likely, according to skeptics, the coincidence of the content of dreams and real events demonstrates only that the man in his dream was able to correctly construct a forecast of the situation.
At the same dreams give us clues often do not live, but in an encrypted form, and these forecasts must also be able to interpret.
Virtually any Prophetic dream skeptics can not find a rational explanation, however, explain the nature of dreams, yet none of them failed. But, anyway, not all can be explained from a scientific point of view ...
Information worlds
Beliefs of many people is associated with a prophetic dream of traveling souls sleeping in otherworldly realms.
Today, paranormal teachings are called by some the worlds information field that contains the data that was, is and will be.
A dream - a memory of where the soul roamed the night, and she saw there.
According to occult theories, our nadsoznanie, having all the information about future events, can not or will not "reach out" to the consciousness.
It was a dream, when all other channels are disabled receipt of external information, we can supposedly be alerted of our other "I" or "I" of their loved ones and friends.During the day these signals we perceive as the force of an inner voice, intuition, or manifestations of an act of guardian angel.
Vsesuschie downers
To see the true prophetic dreams - is sverhdar who have no more than 5-7% of the people.
The rest is to be content with a faith in its exclusivity, often fueled by different interpretations of dream books.
Even in the I century AD. Oe. Artemidorus the Greek scientist coined the term "oneyromantiya" - the interpretation of dreams. Strictly speaking, the Greek "oneyros," which is formed from the name of the predictive art is not just a dream, and it was a prophetic dream. Artemidorus collected and recorded over three thousand dreams, and analyzed their predictive value, making the first written dream interpretation.
Books that explain the nocturnal visions, and to this day have not lost their relevance.And how many there are downers, the same number expressed doubts about their credibility.
Skeptics suggest a few books to compare and make sure that each of them interpreted the same dream in many ways.
Linguists consider the same kind of downers solely as folklore, considering them to take the people's congress, passing from generation to generation. As a result, studies have shown that different peoples interpretations are based on common criteria, such as a consonance (for example, the Slavs: the mountain - to grief, a fur coat - to-noise ratio), the opposition (see himself dead in a dream means that a person will be live long, sit down or fall into a puddle - to fame), by analogy, the external (rain - to tears.)
It is noteworthy that in the modern dream books of horses, coachmen and chickens have replaced computers and mobile phones: talking on the mobile phone - for unexpected spending, and talking on a stationary machine promises good news.
Sleep as a diagnosis
Our belief in the prophecy is closely connected with the instinct of self-preservation.
That is why special attention is paid to the relationship between human health and dreams. For example, it is believed that during sleep we get signals about diseases that are at an early stage and appear insignificant, so we simply do not notice.
Thus, sleep can see the body of the patient, as clipping.
The presence of asthma may indicate a snake around his neck, noose, strangling or getting into a closed space.
Stomach ulcers may be accompanied by dreams of a poor diet that causes nausea, an unpleasant situation connected with the feast.
Gastritis - visions of eating raw or spoiled fish.
But with nervousness, people often see the manifestation of aggression in dreams or her own show. Dreams do not have a logical conclusion or end badly. They often appear unfamiliar people, or the person enters into an unfamiliar environment.Dreams are the bright colors and often repeated. By the way, neurotics tend to believe their dreams to be prophetic. And they love to retell.
When a man dreams that he wishes to emerge from the water, or that he climbs into a narrow gap and get stuck in it, or up the hill, or severe chest compresses the clothing - when such dreams are possible pneumonia, pleurisy and tuberculosis.
Heart disease (myocardial infarction, angina pectoris) often cause nightmarish visions that may be accompanied by a strong sense of fear of death, and combined with a sudden awakening.
In principle, unambiguously indicating the disease can not be named.
Although a fairly common and versatile companion diseases of internal organs are autonomic dysfunction - a man quickens the heartbeat, it can wake up in a cold sweat, feeling numb and cold extremities. And, if it is a manifestation of a one-time, then maybe nothing bad will happen. With regular - should seek medical advice.
Of course, the diagnosis of disease or the planning of the day solely on the basis of dreams, do not give a 100% guarantee. By dreams, like any other manifestations of life must be approached with intelligence and without fanaticism.
But in any case - whether you dream of prophetic dreams or ordinary - sleeping is good for health
