Why do you always dream when you sleep? Please analyze it from the perspective of Chinese medicine. thank you
Everyone dreams. But most people soon forget their dreams after waking up, leaving only some feelings at most. Those who still remember the dream clearly after waking up can only sleep badly or dream more. Why do insomniacs always say MUBI? It is often said that "I didn't have a good rest last night and had a dream all night" and "I was in MUBI at night and didn't fall asleep at all". So it seems that I really feel a little depressed and lack of energy when I study and work on this day, as if dreaming really delayed my rest. According to the traditional concept, some doctors also admit that dreaminess is a sign that the brain has never rested or has a bad rest. In fact, this old concept is wrong. Dreaming and recalling dreams are not indicators of poor sleep, nor can we say that dreaming means poor sleep. As mentioned earlier, dreams are a common physiological phenomenon. Dream or not, have 4 to 5 dreams every night. It is an exaggeration to say that you dream all night, and it is unrealistic to say that you don't dream, not to mention that MUBI dreams less. Some people at home and abroad have made physiological tests on insomnia, dreaming all night or MUBI's chronic insomnia, and carried out EEG tracing and research with various physiological instruments. It is proved by objective records that these patients who complain of "MUBI" and "dreaming all night" have the same sleep cycle as normal people, and the proportion and actual time of their fast-wave sleep period with dreams have not been significantly shortened or prolonged. "Dreaming all night" and "MUBI" have the same experience. Others give psychological tests to such patients, believing that this experience has something to do with personality. No matter from the universal law of human sleep or from the results of experimental research, dream feeling and insomnia may not be necessarily related. Whether or not you have a dream feeling and the degree of it can't be used as an objective indicator of insomnia. In that case, why do people always associate dreaming with insomnia? As we have said many times before, dreams are inevitable physiological phenomena and active physiological processes during fast wave sleep, which are manifested in the forms of performance components, perceptual memory activities and unconventional associations. Dream feeling refers to the memory of some plots in the dream after waking up, or just the impression of having a dream, and even the content of the dream is difficult to explain clearly. People who complain about insomnia and dreamless dreams should refer to the feeling of dreams, which is related to emotional factors and personality characteristics. For example, introverts pay more attention to their inner feelings, sleep lightly and are easy to wake up or wake up, and often recall vivid dreams; People who are depressed and anxious are easy to wake up from their dreams, so they feel dreamy and sleep uneasily. The researchers also found that MUBI is closely related to the degree of waking up during sleep, and people who report themselves in MUBI on weekdays are more likely to wake up during sleep. In the sleep experiment, as long as the volume of 20 decibels is enough to wake them up, and their dream memory is also very high. Clinically, people who often see sudden dreaminess are often related to being hurt by seven emotions, being in a bad mood and sleeping uneasily, so insomnia is often accompanied by dreaminess. Clinical observation and experimental results prove that the chief complaint of insomnia, especially long-term insomnia, is unreliable. Many scholars have studied the patients who complained of insomnia and found that insomnia is related to psychological disorders. They often overestimate the sleep latency and underestimate the actual sleep time. During the experimental test, the description of sleep parameters by insomnia patients is inconsistent with the objective records, either exaggerated or narrowed. Most experts believe that the experience of insomnia is related to mood and personality. Why do many insomniacs complain about "dreaming all night or MUBI"? Through investigation and analysis, some people think it is related to the following factors: (1) Little is known about sleep knowledge and the relationship between sleep and dreaminess: many people don't know the alternation of sleep cycles, the position of dreams in sleep, their physiological functions and the difference between dreams and dreaminess, and they don't know that dreams or dreaminess have no side effects. The unscientific interpretation of dreams by old traditional concepts and feudal superstitions has caused people to be afraid of dreams, which has led many people to blindly fall into fear of dreams. (2) It is related to people's emotional state: many people lack understanding of emotional disorder, don't know that emotional disorder is a disease, and often ignore emotional disorder itself and pay too much attention to insomnia, dreaminess, pain and other symptoms related to emotional disorder. I don't know how to adjust and improve my mood, but I just exaggerate my less objective experience. (3) paying too much attention to one's own health and dreams leads to the enhancement of dreams; On the other hand, the increased sense of dreams aggravates the fear of health and insomnia, and even forms a vicious circle. (4) Some people wake up in the fast wave sleep period or wake up immediately after the fast wave sleep period, which leads to the increase of dream memory. (5) Differences in individual functional states: Different individuals have different dreams, even if the same individual has different functional states in different periods, the degree of dreams is not the same. Therefore, some people have a strong sense of dreams for a while (MUBI), while others have a weak sense of dreams (less dreams). Insomnia as a phenomenon exists objectively, and dreams as a common physiological phenomenon are by no means redundant. We admit the existence of insomnia, but we can't think that insomnia and dreaming are necessarily related. How does Chinese medicine recognize the relationship between dreaminess and insomnia? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root cause of dreaminess is the internal changes of the body. "Fang Suwen's Theory of Rise and Fall" said: "It is fascinating to be dumbfounded because of lack of gas." The so-called qi deficiency means that the qi is insufficient, and the yang fails to keep the yin and the god is unprepared, so it is a dream. This is also one of the reasons. However, emotional damage, visceral injury, loss of essence, make you uneasy and dreamy; Yin and blood deficiency can not nourish the mind, hide the liver and soul, limit the fire, and make the mind wander and dream more; Phlegm heat interferes with the liver and gallbladder, so the soul is restless and dreamy; Overwork, fire and water are not good, heart and kidney are not harmonious, people are uneasy and dream more; A dishonest diet makes the soil dull, restless and dreamy. The appearance of dreaminess leads to restless sleep and changeable dreams.
