Ok, so for today's article, I wanna share some interesting facts about our Dreams. I just feel to write this topic because I am also wondering sometimes of what is the meaning of my dream. I don't also know why I tend to forgot something important in my dream, I know I'm not the only one. Everyone experiencing what I am talking about.

Usual Dreams and its Meaning

  • DREAMS ABOUT FALLING

It is very common to dream about falling from great heights. Some studies and many popular dream interpretation tells that falling dreams are a sign of there is something in your life that's not going well.

"Dreaming of falling is very common. It is a symbol of fear in real life - perhaps of failing at work or in your love life. Falling often expresses a need to let yourself go more and enjoy life more. " says Russell Grant, the author of The Illustrated Dream Dictionary

  • Dreams About Being Naked in Public

Dreaming about being naked is hardly unusual. Penny Peirce, author of the Dream Dictionary for Dummies, suggests that dreaming of public nudity might indicate that you feel like you are afraid of revealing your imperfections in anyone else. Which can be mean that your are scared of something who chasing for you in your dream with all your clothes off and trying to hide your whole.

The eyes of the public stand as an eye of judgments who saw your whole body as your imperfections. The more you hide your body, the more they will keep on eyeing you to know what's your hiding inside you.

  • Dreams About Losing Teeth

According to the author of The Dream Dictionary for Dummies, Penny Peirce, dreaming about losing teeth can have multiple meaning. Maybe you are worried about your appearance or attractiveness, and yet it can also mean that you are concerned about your ability to communicate or concerned that you might have said something wrong and embarrassing.

"The real essence of teeth is their ability to bite through, to cut, tear, and grind, if your teeth fall out, you lose personal power and your ability to be assertive, decisive, and self-protective." - Penny Peirce

  • Dreams about Death

Another common subject of dream is Dea*h. Sometimes, dreamers dream of the death of a love one or even dream of dying themselves. Some popular dream interpretation suggest that dream of someone's death reflects of similar fear of change, especially with regards to children reaching milestones and growing up.

"Like death, change can be scary because–also like death–we do not know what is 'on the other side,' of the change, which is why the dreaming mind equates change with death," Lauri Loewenberg suggests in her book Dream on It: Unlock Your Dreams, Change Your Life.

  • Dreams About Taking a Test

Dreams about taking an examination might reveal an underlying fear of failure. Studies have also found out that this type of dream are common.

  • Dreams About Infidelity

In some cases, people even start to wonder if the dream about their spouse or romantic partner is cheating on you with someone else is true because it can be incredibly distressing.

"If you or your partner cheated in your dream, one of you isn't getting what you need from that relationship right now," Eve Adamson and Gayle Williamson, authors of The Complete Idiot's Guide Dream Dictionary, tells also that such dreams about infidelity indicate issues with trust, loyalty, and communication in a relationship.

  • Dreams About Flying

Dreams about flying are experienced by many. It can be exciting and even liberating but they can sometimes be quite frightening especially to those afraid of heights. Some dreams can represent feelings of freedom and independence, they can also indicate a desire to escape from the realities of life.

https://www.buildingbeautifulsouls.com/dream-interpretation-meanings/what-do-flying-dreams-mean/

Why am I having weird dreams?

Here's what could be causing your weird dreams and how you can better manage them.

The study shows that our body is cycle through a different stages of sleep each night. Most of our dream will occur during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which occurs about 90 minutes after you fall asleep.

Stephanie Stahl, MD, a sleep medicine physician at Indiana University Health says "Dreams during REM sleep are often bizarre, vivid, or whimsical, and are often tied to emotions,"

______________________________

There is some evidence as to why you may be having especially weird or also known as vivid dreams:

  • You're processing new information

Stahl says that if a person are too focused on one topic just before bedtime, there's a higher likelihood that it will manifest in your dream.

"If you are obsessively watching the news or scrolling through social media about the coronavirus close to bedtime, you may be more likely to have dreams related to the content of what you were looking at or the emotions you felt when doing these activities," - says Stahl

  • You're working through your emotions

Higher levels of stress can cause an increase in REM sleep, which may lead to more vivid dreams.

Alex Dimitriu, MD, psychiatrist and founder of Menlo Park Psychiatry and Sleep Medicine. "There is evidence that dreams are the mind's form of self-therapy," says Alex "We form memories, process experiences, as well as feelings when we sleep. REM or dream sleep is believed to be particularly important in the processing of emotions."

  • There's a change in your routine.

If you're sleeping later, you might getting a bit more REM sleep than its usual, increasing the likelihood of experiencing weird dreams. And the opposite may also be through: a lack of sleep, or sleep deprivation, can result in more vivid dreams.

Rajkumar Dasgupta, MD, assistant professor of clinical medicine at Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. "REM cycles become increasingly longer and deeper throughout the night, resulting in the deepest sleep just before you wake in the morning," says Rajkumar
