Sleep is affected by the events of the day, some facts from memory and external stimuli. For example, at elevated temperatures can dream beach or hell, when low - bathing in the sea or in space. Optimum temperature is 20°C. Below you, above is not recommended, because at higher temperatures the metabolic processes are accelerated, which is not conducive to rest.
In psychology usually referred dreams to the realm of the unconscious, the realm of hidden desires, appetites, fears and anxieties. To interpret dreams tried since ancient times. It was believed that during sleep the person has the ability to communicate with the world beyond the grave, with the souls of the dead. And indeed, people are often in a dream talking with deceased loved ones. But as psychotherapeutic receiving the interpretation of dreams has developed Freud, considering dreams, as suppressed desire. In fact, in the dream appears often sexual in nature, hidden desire, but not only.
For example, my patient programmer's dream: he goes to another city to grandparents, meets childhood friends who have grown up, and something to explain them, talks about computers, teaches. The theme of sleep: concern about the health of grandparents, the intertwining themes of work in interpersonal relationships - he is so occupied with work on computers that he did not have time and desire for a normal human communication. In addition, knowing the family history of the patient, we can say that due to the large work load he didn't have enough time to visit the grandparents, hence the guilt in front of them. In the dream it was as if he corrects the error. The dream tells the patient that communication and work can be combined, he should seek a reasonable balance, the ratio of the work, communication, and their duty to their families.
We can distinguish several types of dreams:
Dreams - suppressed desire
. This is just what writes Freud. For example, a man for a long time deprived of sexual relations, resulting occur during the sleep of his sexual desires.
Dreams as wish-fulfilling. Dreams - suppressed desire can be attributed to the varieties of this group. For example, a woman without children can have children, strollers, baby toys. The child may dream of ice cream or a doll, a toy that he wants. It's nice when dreams - wishes come true. But to fulfil children's sleep is much easier than an adult.
Horrible, terrible dreams. See them both children and adults. When the child dream of Baba Yaga is usually associated with a negative image of the mother. Impressionable children often dream about the characters of horror movies or told on the night of the children's stories. I know an adult who woke up in the dream and, extending his hand, said: "This hand of Freddy Krueger". The next morning he couldn't remember what he was dreaming. People often displace, consciously forget stressful events, and they occur during sleep. So, the patient who suffered sexual violence, had nightmares in which she was subjected to such abuse. My other patient with hysterical personality traits grabbed my five-year old daughter when she misbehaved, and sticking it out the window, he threatened that if she will continue to do it, she will throw out of the window as tired of her antics. The girl was very frightened, but quickly forgot the story. After some time she started having nightmares that she falls from the balcony or window.
Dreams associated with incomplete relations. Internal conflicts, contradictions, incomplete relationship with someone usually occur during sleep, and this is natural because during sleep the brain continues to solve the problem, the puzzle with which he was faced. If You do not know how to relax, relieve themselves from serious problems, you run the risk of getting insomnia. There is a saying "sleep on it". Leave your problems on the next day and to sleep well, do not overload yourself physically or mentally for three hours before bedtime. A short walk, a warm bath, relaxing music, sex and so forth will promote good sleep.
The dream book and other books on the interpretation of dreams rarely give the correct interpretation of the dream, which should be selected not by the book, and strictly individually. Dreams are metaphors, and always have many meanings.
Usually when a psychologist treats a particular dream, he offers several interpretations, and you can choose one that matches your internal sensations. Unfortunately, dreams are quickly forgotten. But they can be written. Especially those that you are very emotional experience, from which you have strong feelings when you Wake up. You need to remember or write down the feelings that caused the dream, as it is very important for its interpretation. To interpret dreams is difficult, downers unlikely to tell you the correct answer.
Dreams are the unconscious reflection of reality. The future of course, they do not predict, but show weaknesses, problems that we need first of all to pay attention.
