Top 10 Amazing Things About Dreams!

Many studies on dreams have revealed interesting facts … For example …

1. Everyone has dreams.

Every human being on Earth dreams. Even so, men and women have different dreams and psychological reactions to them. It seems that men tend to dream more of other men (contrary to expectations), and women dream of men and other women alike.

2. Not everyone has color dreams.

About 12% of the world's population dreams of black and white. Studies from 1915 to 1950 maintained the idea that most people have black and white dreams. It seems, however, that the advent of color television has greatly influenced our subconscious.

3. And blind people have "visual" dreams.

People who are not blind from birth see images in dreams. Those who are blind from birth do not have "visual" dreams, but they are just as exciting because of the other senses - sound, smell, touch, and emotions.

4. Even animals have dreams, just like humans.

Scientists have discovered that animals, especially mammals, dream in the same way as we humans. So, our pet can immerse himself in dreams without us being aware of it!

5. Children have more nightmares than adults.

As recent studies have shown, little ones seem to dream more of nightmares, while adults have many more "positive" dreams.

6. We tend to forget 99% of our dreams.

5 minutes after waking up, I've already forgotten half my dreams. In 10 minutes, 90% of what we dreamed all night has already disappeared from our memory.

This is also the case of the famous poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge who one morning woke up after a fantastic dream and began to write one of the most famous English poems, never finished because, being interrupted from notation, the poet forgot what he had dreamed. ..

7. Some of the greatest inventions were "conceived" in sleep.

Although we tend to forget about 99% of dreams, many scientists have made sleepy discoveries, which they noted as soon as they woke up. People like Graham Bell, Newton, or some famous poets found their inspiration by dreaming.

8. In dreams, the things forbidden in reality appear to us.

It seems that we often dream of things that we are forbidden to do. For example, if we are not allowed to eat chocolate, in dreams we will enjoy various assortments of it. Even psychological illnesses or dysfunctions have a direct effect on our subconscious and influence us in dreams.

9. Only known people appear in our dreams.

Although we have the impression that in dreams we sometimes see people we have never seen in our lives, we must know that our minds do not invent new figures. The people we see sleeping are people we've seen in reality, but we don't remember that. We see hundreds of girls every day, creating a "reserve" of characters for dreams.

10. External stimuli invade our dreams.

Most of us have had the experience of incorporating into our dreams a stimulus that affects us in our sleep. For example, if we feel sleepy, we may dream that we are drinking water. Likewise, an involuntarily perceived noise or light can take place in dreams.

Rational versus paranormal

Paranormal enthusiasts claim that dreams can be premonitions and that what we dream of can be something that can happen to us in the future, whether it is something good or a tragedy. They also argue that dreams we have with strangers or places may be memories of past lives that only the subconscious keeps.

Psychologists say that all dreams have a logical explanation and are a way for our brain to process certain feelings or fears. "All dreams are manifestations of the brain. They can mean certain fears that we have, certain stressful situations, or just a release of stress.

Many times at night we process what we saw or what happened to us during the day. That's why sometimes we dream sequences from a movie we saw in the evening or moments during the day ", says the psychologist.
