In ancient times, people would interpret dreams as supernatural phenomena or gods. The legend of Duke Zhou was widely circulated in ancient China. People in modern society tend to analyze dreams from sober life and try to connect dreams with real life experiences. Recently, a foreign research group designed a dream processing tool in a new study, which can track and analyze dreams on a large scale.

Hall and Van De Burg system is one of the most famous systems to explain dreams. This system explains dreams according to the characters appearing in dreams, the interactions between characters, the subsequent influence of these interactions on characters and many other concepts. However, the fly in the ointment is that the system needs to manually screen dream reports to identify these elements, which is a slow and time-consuming process. Sleep scientists have been looking for an algorithmic solution that can automatically identify and annotate the content of dreams according to the methods of Hall and Van der Castle.

A research team designed a system to analyze dreams and grade dream reports. Using this tool, the researchers analyzed 24,000 dreams in a huge dream database and verified the effectiveness of the tool. The dream processing tools they use are simplified Hall and Van der Castle systems. These systems pay more attention to characters, social and emotional vocabulary, and analyze the text of dream reports, which can be used to track people's dreams on a large scale.
From the data and evidence in the research report, the experimenter found evidence to support the continuity hypothesis, which means that dreams are the continuation of what happens in daily life, which provides strong support for what sleep scientists call the' dream continuity hypothesis'. Facts have proved that daily life experiences will affect dreams. For example, anxiety in life will lead to negative dreams, and conversely, dreams will affect the ability to solve problems. The researchers said that although this is far from the final conclusion of the true meaning and source of dreams, future research will make it easier to quantify dreams, and it is even possible to "build technology" to bridge the gap between real life and dreams.
Therefore, what the ancients said about thinking day and night is also reasonable.
