Recurring Dreams: Can A Dream Be Experienced Multiple Times?
A dream is a series of images, stories, emotions and feelings that occur during a sleep phase. A common example of a recurring dream is when a person experiences a period of stress or change in their life. Circumstances may have changed, but the same feelings of stress and the desire to perform well can trigger a missed test in the dream.
Dream theorists agree that recurring dreams are often associated with unsolved problems in the dreamer's life. Theoretically, people who experience recurring dreams may have some kind of trauma in their past that they try to deal with. What differs from recurring dreams is that they can be experienced in an individual life, while typical dream themes refer to a universal, interindividual commonality of dream themes.
People are most likely to remember dreams during REM sleep, which lasts between 90 and 120 minutes (6). People are more likely to remember dreams in light sleep during NREM sleep and dreams and less likely to remember dreams in deep, slow sleep wave.
Dreaming occurs in two main sleep stages, and dreams experienced during REM sleep tend to be more vivid. When we have multiple REM dreams during one night, we do not remember the experience or the content. Dreams occur in all sleep stages, but REM sleep is thought to be responsible for the more emotional and visual dreams.
People tend to remember more dreams and show more awakening during stage 2 sleep, not REM sleep. In one study woke researchers people in their sleep ; 50% of people who woke from sleep with non-rapid eye movement (NREM) (3) and 80% of those who woke from fast eye movement or REM sleep reported that they were dreaming. New research has shown that we can experience dreams during NREM sleep (5).
Many people with narcolepsy have vivid, intense dreams or nightmares in their sleep. Vivid dreams can disturb, disturb and in some cases affect the experience and quality of sleep. Not dreaming means you don't get REM sleep, which can lead to increased drowsiness, depression and health problems.
Nightly terrors that show someone beating and groaning in the middle of sleep may be due to negative dreams associated with non-REM sleep. Daytime events can penetrate your thoughts in your sleep, and people who suffer from stress or anxiety are more likely to have scary dreams. Nightmare is a negative type of dream caused by waking up too early and being associated with REM sleep cycles.
Wrong awakening is one in which a dream is awake while it sleeps, but the characteristics of the dream take on aspects of a double dream or dream within a dream. Wrong Awakening is a living and convincing dream that awakens the sleeping dreamer from a reality that continues to sleep. It can come after a dream, after a clear dream, or when no one but the dreamer knows that the dream is still there.
A lucid dream can be followed by a false awakening, or it can turn into a pre-lucid dream [1] in which the dreamer begins to ask himself why he is awake but cannot come to the right conclusion.
Although such dreams can be confusing and oppressive, dreaming is normal and is seen by many people in normal moments as a helpful process in our waking situation. Some people experience lucid dreams randomly, while others report that they are able to increase their ability to control their dreams. A study of 2,000 dreams by Harvard psychologist Deirdre Barrett, which examined 200 subjects, found that false awakening and clarity are more likely to occur in the same dream than in different dreams in the same night.
Studies have shown that sleep does not help people forget unwanted memories. Studies of brain activity suggest that the majority of people over the age of 10 dream four to six times a night, and some even remember dreams. The average dream lasts longer and varies depending on which sleep phase you are in and how long you have slept.
Most people experience longer periods of REM sleep and the longer they sleep, the more time they spend dreaming. Therefore, a way to increase dream memory is to focus on better sleep quality.
For example, a study suggests that SSRIs (a class of antidepressants) can reduce the frequency with which patients remember their dreams and increase the vibrancy of dreams and dream recollection. In other scenarios, melatonin supplements can increase REM sleep and the chances of experiencing vivid dreams. For example, a study of people with REM sleep disorder found that Melatonin-containing supplements reduced scary dreams and other symptoms.
Vivid dreams can be fantastic, and you wonder how your brain could conjure up such a strange scenario. You may wake up and wish to return to a living dream. For example, if you experience vivid dreams before you fall asleep, this may be a sign of a sleep disorder called narcolepsy.
Perhaps you can prepare yourself to wake up at the end of a dream without being overwhelmed by vivid feelings of fear or terror by telling yourself that the dream was just a dream. When you wake up from one of these bizarre and vivid dreams, you may feel relieved that it was one you have never experienced before.
If you are plagued by a bad dream the first time, you will not be better off if you have it several times. While you cannot control the content of your dreams, it is possible to take indirect measures and work on solving the problems that cause stress in your life.
