Why do people often dream?

No one can dream all his life. Although there are a large number of descriptions of dreams in literary works at all times, at home and abroad, such as the famous ancient opera Peony Pavilion and Cao Xueqin's dream of Red Mansions, what is the source of dreams? The following is my summary of why people dream. Welcome to read it.

The principle of dreaming

Dreaming is a normal and essential physiological and psychological phenomenon of the human body. After falling asleep, a small part of brain cells are still active, which is the basis of dreams. Normal dream activity is one of the important factors to ensure the normal vitality of the body.

Why do you often dream

1. Dream is a way to coordinate the balance of human psychological world. Because people are dominated by the activities of the right cerebral hemisphere in the dream and the left cerebral hemisphere after awakening, they can achieve the dynamic balance of neural regulation and mental activities by alternating waking and dreaming in the process of 24-hour day and night activities of the body. Therefore, dream is a way to coordinate the balance of human psychological world, especially for people's attention, emotion and cognitive activities.

2. Dream is a symbol of active subconsciousness. During the day, people's conscious (experiential consciousness) commands people to respond to external information. The whole process is like this: the body consciousness - hearing, vision, smell, taste, touch, etc. collects the external information and transmits it to the subconscious. The subconscious processes, stores and classifies them, and then transmits them to the corresponding point of the conscious consciousness. The conscious point sends the response instructions, and then transmits them to the body consciousness through the subconscious. The body consciousness directs the body to respond. During this period, the subconscious is in a semi dormant state and does not actively participate in the judgment and response to information. But sometimes there are exceptions. It's what we call meditation. We purposefully put pressure on the brain to send out biological current and forcibly open the subconscious. Let the subconscious work. At night, the self-examination system in human body consciousness begins to work. The basic state of working consciousness and subconsciousness. At this time, people mainly repair the damage suffered by the body during daytime exercise.
