Please ask a friend who understands psychology to help me explain my strange dream.

My humble opinion:

You are a person who loves life, and you don’t want to live a mediocre life anymore. Maybe your life in school is very busy, maybe you are busy studying, busy in social practice, etc., which has formed a certain foundation in your subconscious mind. But now in your winter vacation life, you have nothing to do all day, eating, drinking, sleeping, and the lazy life is wearing down your will. But you realize this, so your subconscious mind reminds you, don’t waste your time and waste your time! Of course, it won't be the moment when you suddenly realize it, but it will show up in the form of subconscious mind and dream. The above is the approximate origin of the first dream.

The second dream is not that your friend is in trouble. It may be that you have been touched by a certain friendship recently, and you have thought about it for a while. You may not notice it yourself, but people's awareness of danger will always record your inner signals. Remind you while you are unconscious.

People are not controlled by dynamic consciousness during sleep, and the entire brain is in an unconscious state. But not all nerves will go dormant after people sleep, so there is a theory of subconsciousness. The process of human growth is the accumulation of experience, that is, when you do anything, you will collect the experiences you have had in your brain. Over time, these experiences will become what we often call wisdom. Wisdom is actually an ideology. Just like an old man in his 70s or 80s can sometimes foresee the future in his dreams. This does not mean that he has magical power; it means that in his unconscious state, some areas of the brain will predict the future according to his dozens of times. Years of social experience and life experience are used to deduce and judge, which will be displayed in the form of dreams.

Dreams are not without any guiding significance as modern so-called science says. China’s thousands of years of cultural accumulation cannot be meaningless after the development of science and technology; of course, it is not as legendary as Zhou Gong’s interpretation of dreams. After all, Zhou Gong It is impossible for people to completely retreat without the analysis of cross-sectional charts. Take what you can and get rid of what you can't, just use it.

Most of them come from the research of American psychological scientists:

Why do people dream, what is the meaning of dreams, and what impact do dreams have on people? For thousands of years, dream analysts, Psychologists and neurobiologists have been struggling with this problem, but so far they have not been able to find an answer to this mystery.

The more rigorous scientific research on dreaming began in the 17th century. In 1886, dream expert Robert believed that people are exposed to countless information intentionally or unintentionally during a day's activities, and part of this information must be released through dreams. This is the famous "dreaming is to forget" theory. This theory is used in A hundred years later, it became popular again in the 1980s. Soon after Robert, Freud's psychological dream interpretation theory appeared. Freud believed that people are constantly generating wishes and desires, and these wishes and desires are expressed and released in dreams through various disguises and deformations. , so as not to break into people's consciousness and wake them up. In other words, dreams can help people eliminate those wishes and desires that the conscious system cannot accept, and are the guardians of sleep. Freud's theory was popular from the beginning of this century to the 1960s. Later, the world's research on dreams slowly left the field of psychology and entered biological laboratories. Dreaming has since been regarded as a biological phenomenon. Michel Jouvat, a neurobiologist at the Dream Science Laboratory in Lyon, France, is an internationally renowned expert in dream science. In 1959, Jouvat defined dreams as "abnormal sleep." Through electroencephalogram testing, he found that people have 5 to 20 minutes of dreaming sleep every 90 minutes. The signals reflected on the screen of the instrument are different, showing the changes in brain activity during sleep. If the person being tested is awakened when the electroencephalogram wave shows dreamless sleep, he will say that he did not have any dreams; if he is awakened when the electroencephalogram wave shows dreamless sleep, he will remember the dream he just had. In addition, researchers used X-ray tomography tests and found that the image of the brain during the dreaming sleep stage is close to the image when awake. Interestingly, researchers used instruments to test and found that dreaming is not a unique phenomenon for humans. Birds and all mammals also dream.

In the late 1970s, a scientist discovered through experiments on mice that dreaming sleep is also related to memory. Dreaming mice can remember experiences better than mice deprived of dreaming sleep. However, this research result does not apply to humans because doctors In the treatment of depressed patients, a drug called a single ammonia oxidase inhibitor is used. This drug completely cancels the person's dream sleep, but does not cause memory disorders. French dream science expert Jouvat believes that dreaming is determined by genetic genes. He compared the signal numbers sent out by mice during dreaming sleep and found that mice with the same genetic system have similar signal numbers. This theory was recently announced by the United States An experiment by Bulga, a researcher at the University of Colorado, confirmed this. Burga conducted a study on identical twins and found that the twins who were raised by two different families in different places actually had similar dreaming experiences. This proved that people's dream performance is a genetic memory.

In addition, there is a latest report on dreaming research in the just-published American "Science Weekly". The author of the report is a collaborative team of the Washington Institute of Neuroscience and the National Institute of Health in Bocastadt, Maryland. Using a high-performance neurotomography machine to test a dozen people who underwent the experiment, it was found that their blood circulation in this specific area of ??the cerebral cortex was abnormally accelerated during dreaming sleep. From this, the researchers discovered that the part of the brain responsible for seeing The visual nervous system for dream scenes and external visual scenes turns out to exist independently. The report said that after the inner vision system of dream viewing is confirmed to exist independently, it will be able to explain why we have expanded emotions in dreams and why we can accept those unreasonable and bizarre plots and disordered concepts of time and space.

Dreaming is a normal and essential physiological and psychological phenomenon of the human body. After a person falls asleep, a small number of brain cells are still active, which is the basis of dreams. Why do people dream, and what will happen if they don’t dream?

Normal dream activity is one of the important factors to ensure the normal vitality of the body.

Scientific workers have done some experiments to block people's dreams. That is, as soon as the dreaming brain waves appear in the sleeper, the sleeper is immediately awakened and does not allow the dream to continue. Repeatedly, it is found that deprivation of dreams will lead to a series of physiological abnormalities in the human body, such as blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and skin. The electrical response ability of people tends to increase, and the function of the autonomic nervous system is weakened. At the same time, it can also cause a series of adverse psychological reactions in people, such as anxiety, tension, irritability, sensory hallucinations, memory impairment, disorientation, etc. Obviously, normal dream activity is one of the important factors in ensuring the normal vitality of the body.

Dreams are a way of coordinating the balance of the human psychological world

Because the right brain hemisphere is dominant in dreams, and the left brain hemisphere is dominant after awakening, During the body's 24-hour day and night activities, waking and dreaming appear alternately, which can achieve a dynamic balance of neural regulation and mental activity. Therefore, dreams are a way of coordinating the balance of the human psychological world, especially on people's attention, emotions and cognitive activities.

Dreamless sleep is not only of poor quality, but also a sign of brain damage or disease

Recent research results have also confirmed this view, that is, dreams are the brain regulation center The result of balancing various functions of the body, dreams are needed for healthy brain development and maintenance of normal thinking. If the brain regulation center is damaged, dreams will not be formed, or only some incomplete dream fragments will appear. If dreamless sleep occurs for a long time, people should be vigilant. Of course, long-term nightmares are often a sign of physical weakness or certain diseases.

1. Dreams

If you ask 10 people the same question - what causes dreams, you may get 10 different answers. This is because scientists have not yet solved the mystery. One possibility is that the brain is exercised during dreaming by stimulating the information synapses between brain molecules. Another theory is that people dream about tasks and emotions they couldn't think of during the day, a process that helps people consolidate their thoughts and memories. Generally speaking, scientists agree that dreams occur during light sleep, a period they call Rem sleep.

2. Sleep

Fruit flies want to sleep, tigers also want to sleep, and humans never seem to get enough sleep. The topic discussed here is sleep. A person spends a quarter of his life sleeping. Yet the underlying causes of sleep remain as puzzling as the wild dreams. But scientists do understand one important aspect of sleep: It's crucial to mammalian survival. Long-term insomnia can lead to confusion, hallucinations, and ultimately death. There are two states of sleep - deep sleep (eye movement slows down), during which brain metabolic activity slows down; light sleep (dreaming occurs during this period), during which brain activity is active. Some scientists believe that deep sleep allows the body to rest and conserve energy, just like animals hibernating.

3. Hallucinations

An estimated 80% of amputees have experienced hallucinations from severed limbs. Including feelings of warmth, longing, pressure, and pain, people who experience this phenomenon (known as "phantom limbs") always feel that their amputated limbs are still there. One explanation is that the nerve areas of the severed limb reestablish contact with the spinal cord, continuing to send signals to the brain as if the missing limb is still there. Another possibility is that the brain is a transmission "hardwire" that manipulates the body as if it were a perfect body—meaning that the brain still retains the blueprint for operating the limb when it was intact.

4. Task control

The suprachiasmatic nucleus or biological clock in the hypothalamus of the brain keeps the body running in a 24-hour rhythm. One of the most obvious consequences of circadian rhythms is the sleep-wake cycle, but the circadian clock also affects digestion, body temperature, blood pressure and hormone production. Researchers found that regulating melatonin through increased light can shift the body clock forward or backward. There has been ongoing debate recently about whether melatonin supplementation could help people prevent jet lag - the drowsiness and headache that occurs when a plane passes through time zones.

5. Memory Path

Some experiences in life are difficult to forget, just like your first kiss. But how does one come to grips with these private situations? Scientists are using brain imaging techniques to try to understand the mechanical responses that create and store memories. They found that the hippocampus, located within the brain's gray matter, functions as a memory storage tank. However, the resolution ability of this storage area is not strong. Stimulating the same brain region can cause it to generate both real and false memories. In order to separate real memories from false memories, researchers have proposed methods to strengthen memory based on background recall. If something has not really happened, it is difficult to strengthen the human brain's memory of it through this method.

6. Please the brain

Laughter is one of the most difficult behaviors for humans to understand. Scientists have found that when people laugh, three parts of the brain become active. They are: the area that governs thinking, which allows you to get jokes; the motor area that prompts your muscles to move; and the emotional area that elicits "frivolous" emotions. , makes people smile. But why would someone laugh at a brother's silly jokes while someone else giggles while watching a horror movie. John Mollier, a pioneer in the study of humor at the College of William and Mary, found that laughter was a very interesting response to incongruous stories that violated convention. Another perspective in the field of humor views laughter as a way to signal to others that the behavior is "funny." So you can see: Laughing makes us feel better.

7. Nature vs. Nutrition

The question of whether our thoughts and personalities are controlled by genes or environment has long been debated. Scientists have built a convincing body of evidence that it may be controlled by one or both. The ability to study individual genes shows that we have no control over many human traits, yet in many areas peer pressure or education can have a profound impact on who we are and what we do.

8. The Mystery of Death

Longevity is something that only happens in Hollywood movies. But why do we age? You were born with an energetic toolbox full of disease-fighting and trauma-healing mechanisms, and you might think that these alone would make you resistant to joint stiffness and other ailments. But as we age, the body's repair mechanisms gradually lose their former effectiveness. In fact, your body's ability to recover from trauma and stress continues to decline with age. Human aging is divided into two categories of theories: 1) Like other human characteristics, aging may be part of human genetics and in some ways beneficial to humans. 2) From the least optimistic point of view, aging is not intentional. Cells are continuously damaged throughout a person's life, causing aging of the human body. A large number of researchers believe that science will eventually delay the rate of aging so that humans can live at least twice as long as expected.

9. Cryonics

It may not be realistic to ask for a long life. But a new field called cryonics could bring some people back to life. Cryonics centers such as the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Arizona store the remains of the deceased in vessels filled with liquid nitrogen at a bone-chilling temperature of minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit (78 degrees Fahrenheit). The idea is that people who die from currently incurable diseases could be brought back to life by thawing them out once a cure is discovered in the future. Baseball legend Ted Williams was recently stored in a freezer in Alcor. Like other human popsicles, Williams was placed head-down. The advantage of this placement is that if the container leaks, the brain will still be preserved in the cold liquid state. So far no preserved body has been brought back to life because the technology to bring people back to life doesn't yet exist. For example, if a body is not thawed at the right temperature, human cells will freeze, causing damage and fragmentation.

10. Awareness

When you wake up in the morning, you may have realized that the sun has just risen, heard some birds chirping happily on the branches, and even the fresh air is light. Brush your cheeks and you will feel a sense of happiness. In other words, you are conscious. This complex topic has vexed the scientific community from the beginning. Only recently have neuroscientists considered consciousness a realistic research topic.
