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
