Dream, open the door to your subconscious

First, we look at the dream from the perspective of modern medicine. Dreams are caused by a variety of stimuli inside and outside the body during sleep that are used in the brain's specific cortex, including the traces of the remaining brain's excitement. Dreaming is related to REM sleep, which is a shallow sleep state that occurs late in sleep. Human dreaming is not peculiar to some, but a physical activity that accompanies each person for a lifetime, a third state of brain activity between sleep and awakening, which accounts for about 1/5 of the time of human sleep, about 6 years.

Through the ages, people have maintained a high degree of enthusiasm for the exploration of Dreams. As early as thousands of years ago, China has the "Zhou Gong to Dream" on the dream of the prediction of the fierce Ji was interpreted. More than 100 years ago, psychologist Freud published the Analysis of Dreams, thinking, "Dream is the Royal Road to the subconscious." Later, the psychologists, such as Jung and Adler, further enriched the theory of dreams.

Different psychologists have different interpretations of the imagery of dreams. For example, dreaming of crutches, according to Freud, may be regarded as a symbol of the male genital, the dreamer expressed in the dream of sexual repression, and Jung may be from mythology, history, culture and other aspects of Lenovo expansion, that cane may symbolize power, status, support.

For example, dreaming of falling from the sky, according to Freud's point of view, may symbolize the fall of pressure or morals, and according to Jung's view, the fall of the height may symbolize the decline of status, fame, cause, is a general sense of fear, may be derived from the collective unconscious of the original fear of death; According to Adler's point of view, it may be said that the fall is a symbol of a person's inferiority complex prevailed, always worried about his failure, always feel himself in a dangerous siege.

The difference between these interpretations lies mainly in the differences in the view of dreams held by psychologists. Freud believed that the dream was a distorted expression of the repressed desires (mainly libido), and Jung believed that there was a far more profound sense of collective unconsciousness and the origin and meaning of archetypal and archetypal imagery in the dream, and Adler believed that dreams were self-adjusting and motivating in the subconscious, and setting for future goals.

Of course, the psychology of the work on the dream, whether it is Freud's free association, or Jung's positive imagination, can not be separated from the real situation of the dream, the actual content of the dream, and the dreamer's emotional response to work. For example, a common dream--the toilet, if the dreamer had the physical need to pee at the time, would often be understood as a physical response to the dream. If not the physiological response, the dreamer in the dream of the toilet mood and feelings, is anxious, anxious, or relaxed, happy, and dream of the scene, the interpretation of the content of the dream has a great impact.

Compared to the traditional understanding of dreams from outside the dream, psychologists Robert Benic The dream of the image embodied technology, it appears more special. This is a state of mind and body relaxation, in the "threshold consciousness", let the Dreamer return to the "place where the dream begins", bring themselves into the dream, the real experience of the meaning of the dream work method. When the image of the dream is shaped by the dreamer itself, the dreamer will experience the meaning of the dream deeply.

I have participated in a number of workshops, the scene to observe the image of the dream reflect the work, found that when the dreamer in the guidance of the consultant back to the dream, there is similar to the film, "dream of Space" feeling, immersive. When the dreamer finally experience the meaning of the dream, can not help but tears, the subconscious gift so deep but so valuable.

Although different psychologists interpret dreams differently, there are basically two ideas that are generally accepted from a dream job. One is the expression of the subconscious mind, and the second is the expression of the dream through symbolic imagery.

So, are all the dreams really good dreams? A study by Professor Covestro, a German brain neuroscience expert, suggests that dreaming is a normal physiological activity that is beneficial to the brain and is useful for exercising the brain's function. The researchers at Sls University in Japan concluded that dreaming helps to prolong life.

However, some readers will say that dreams are good or bad, and that all dreams are not dreams, and sometimes I have nightmares, and also affect the quality of sleep. In fact, when we talk about dreams, we do not consciously distinguish between "good dreams" and "nightmares" as criteria. Good dreams are those dreams in which we have a positive emotional experience, nightmares that we have negative emotional experiences in our dreams, and even a dream that wakes us up in our sleep and remains haunted by waking up.

With regard to good dreams and nightmares, Dr. Patricia Garfield of the American clinical Psychology has studied this topic. Analyzing the global Dream case, Dr. Garfield found that more than 6 billion people around the world do 12 different kinds of dreams every night, regardless of nationality, gender, wealth, poverty, religion, and cultural background. And these 12 kinds of dreams. It should be exactly 12 pairs of dreams, a dream of a dream that corresponds to a dream of a nightmare. For example: success in passing exams or performing satisfactorily, the corresponding nightmare is not to answer the examination papers or sing no sound; it is a dream to wear beautiful clothes, to be naked in public is a nightmare; to Fly is a dream, to fall from the sky, or to fall from a cliff to the sea is a nightmare.

So why do you have nightmares? Modern medicine believes that dreams can predict diseases and specific physiological states of certain diseases. Behind the nightmare, it may be a warning of signs of physical illness. The former Soviet neurologist, Kasatkin, has collected more than 23,700 dreams from more than 1400 people, and after analysis concludes that the brain in sleep can predict a disease that is early or even earlier, and that the disease can manifest in days, weeks, months. The following is a popular dream and disease-related content, is the European and American clinicians after a long-term study found in eight kinds of dreams and disease relationship.

(1) Dreaming of someone or a monster beating your head or filling your senses with fluid, you may develop brain tumors and neurological disorders.

(2) In a dream, it may be that there are some lesions in the auditory center or a hardening of the blood vessels near it.

(3) Dream to the trachea is stuck, breathing is not smooth, choking, may be the respiratory system lesions.

(4) Dream of being chased, fear, can not be called, run, wake up after a fright, sweating, heart rate, may be the heart coronary artery insufficiency.

(5) The dream of walking instability, the body twisted, heavy limbs, and with a sense of suffocation, and will suddenly wake up, may be the precursor of angina.

(6) The dream to fall from high, but also fell to the ground has awakened, may be a precursor to heart disease.

(7) Dream of water scenes, such as floods, swamps, drowning, etc., may be the liver and gallbladder system and kidney lesions.

(8) The dream of being beaten, wake up feeling in the dream of the site of the pain, indicating that the corresponding organs may have lesions.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine view is that the nightmare is usually caused by the yin-deficiency fire, the so-called Yin deficiency refers to the kidney Yin deficiency, fire is the heart of Fire Wang. Kidney Yin Insufficient, will lead to firelight exuberant, thus have nightmares, insomnia, flustered, dizziness and other symptoms, some people will also have the performance of the lumbar acid. Therefore, people who often have nightmares need to recuperate the kidneys. In addition to nightmares, the popular novels of TCM http://www.wulai8.com/perspective also thinks, if the dream is always not related to their own life, the dream of things even their own feel puzzled, this is related to liver function, need to regulate the liver; If you always dream about what happened during the day, Storyline is nothing bizarre, very normal, is a variety of trivial, which may suggest that digestive function is not good or spleen absorption function is not good, need to regulate the spleen and stomach.

From a medical point of view, nightmares may be a reminder of disease, and from a psychological point of view, nightmares may be a reminder of the repressed part of the dreamer's subconscious, the shadow or complex that needs to be faced, especially the recurring nightmare of a similar episode.

My friend CC has been repeating a dream for years-chased by people who can't see the face, waking up from a dream almost every time he dreams, sweating cold sweat dripping. Later CC began a long-range of personal psychological counseling, in consultation with the consultant, she told me that the dream behind the chase, and its original family, and the parent's entanglement is inseparable, she wanted to break free, but was more tightly controlled, want to self-sabotage, but with guilt, complex emotions entangled together. When the level of consciousness chooses denial and repression, the subconscious mind can only express it in the form of nightmares. When the dream in-depth exploration, the image of the dream is slowly changing and change, then CC basically did not have to pursue the dream.

If you are trapped in a nightmare like CC, be brave enough to face it, muddying, you will reap the warmth of the sun. Whether it is from the psychology of the dream is the expression of the subconscious, or medical research conclusions indicate that the existence of the dream is its positive significance. Even if it is often a nightmare, it is the subconscious or the body through the dream to convey to us to care about their physical and mental signals, when we can follow these signals well to care for themselves, the nightmare will eventually turn into a good dream, our physical and mental health will be better protected. So in my opinion, all dreams are good dreams, pious to accept the gift of dreams, every dream is worth being treasured. Wish us in the day with the dream, dream as a horse, dream come true!

Dream, open the door to your subconscious
