Freud said: dreams are the realization of wishes. The brain comprehensively models daytime events, childhood events and physical stimuli to satisfy unconscious desires.
Dream interpretation is a science, which adopts the principle of psychodynamics, emphasizes the social and cultural background of dreams and the relationship between dreams and reality, and helps people to deal with and solve inner contradictions and conflicts.
There are only two scientific hypotheses: first, dreaming is that the human brain is receiving and processing the internal information left by its distant ancestors, which is related to human survival. At the same time, dreaming is also the analysis and storage of information in present life. When dreaming, the brain is active, and information exchange between nerve contact processes is frequent, similar to a calculator. Second, when people are in deep sleep, their heartbeat slows down and their body temperature drops. When they reach the critical point, their heartbeat can't be slower, their body temperature can't be lower, and people's potential consciousness is alert. When dreaming, the body, internal organs and brain all start to move. These activities improve heart rhythm, accelerate breathing, raise body temperature and eliminate metabolic toxins. There are quite a few cultural assumptions about dreaming. For example, take dreams as inspiration or omen of life; Or regard dreams as artistic creation of the mind; Or imagine dreaming as the soul wandering around without the body ... At night, when people say goodbye, they will say "sweet dreams", "dreams" and "dreams". Describing being in danger as "like being in a nightmare", people will say, "Am I dreaming?"
Psychologists believe that dreams are a window opened by the subconscious mind, and dream interpretation is a shortcut to the subconscious mind. Dream interpretation has become an important content in psychotherapy.
Jung, a psychologist, believes that dreams play an important role in psychological compensation and adjustment and are an internal self-balancing system. In my clinical practice, I really found that many happy people have sad dreams, leisurely people have nervous dreams, depressed people have happy dreams, and satisfied people have lost dreams, which fulfilled the theory that "dreams are the opposite" in eastern culture. Jung's theory can explain why you have nightmares when you have nothing to do. Of course, nightmares will come true in life. Such a thing may be a harbinger of dreams, more because of people's self-suggestion. Hinting that something will happen to you, self-suggestion becomes a kind of self-prediction, and repeated hints will unconsciously lead to self-verification, and the result is really something wrong. This "thing" is not caused by dreams, but the result of repeated hints. Changing your interpretation of dreams can also change your mood.
