What can be a dream adjectives. Types of dreams

Normally, about 8 hours a day, but this time may increase or decrease depending on the individual properties of the organism. It turns out that each of us spends about a third of his life in a dream. At this moment, all vital processes slow down a little and, as it were, restore their strength. One of the most amazing properties of the body is the ability to see and feel some events while a person is sleeping. The ability to see dreams is individual for everyone. Someone sees them every night, some - very rarely. It depends on which differs in duration.

What is the dream like?

The central nervous system controls all body processes. Sleep is no exception, as there are special structures in the brain responsible for rest. These neurons are called hypnotic centers. There are 2 phases of sleep: slow and fast. For each of them, a special education is responsible for the quadrigemina, the blue spot, etc.). In addition, individual structures are responsible for the change of cycles, these include the cerebral cortex. Dreams are a collection of images, sensations, sounds that a person experiences while he is sleeping. Most often this happens before waking up, in the phase of REM sleep. The duration of dreams is about 10-20 minutes. If at this moment you observe a sleeping person, you can detect the activity of the eyeballs, which make movements behind the closed eyelids. The state of the brain during REM sleep is close to wakefulness, but muscle tone is significantly reduced, and most often no body movements are made.

Types of dreams

Depending on what exactly a person sees when he sleeps, there are different differences. Their differences are that they can bring positive and negative emotions, be conscious or not, associated with real events in life, prophetic. In some cases, you can see the memory of some event. What dreams are:

What are prophetic dreams

This group is separate and occupies a particularly important place, since some people associate them with changes in their destiny. What is a dream: prophetic images are divided into 2 types. The first is literal, it implies a situation that is completely, literally, repeated in a person's real life. The second type of prophetic dreams is symbolic: in this case, people can only see a hint of some event, and not everyone can correctly interpret it.

When exactly can you see prophetic dreams

They are not seen every night. Even those people who predict the future from them note that this happens quite rarely. When there are prophetic dreams: there is a connection between their appearance and the day of the week. This usually happens on the night of Thursday to Friday or from Monday to Tuesday. Some sources point to the connection of prophetic dreams with the numbers on the night on which a person saw them (for example, 1, 3, 5, etc.). Moreover, some of them come true in the near future, others - in the distant future.

The connection of prophetic dreams with religion

If we talk about the time of the appearance of prophetic dreams, then it is different for Orthodox and Catholic Christians. The first argue that the most truthful prophecies can be seen during Baptism - that is, in the second half of January (week from 19 to 26). Catholics associate the appearance of prophetic visions with Christmas, which comes in their faith on December 25th. According to the sacred biblical Scripture, the Lord conveyed his will through dreams. This privilege was not granted to everyone, but only to the elect, who were obliged to interpret it to others. All other people saw ordinary dreams that did not have a specific meaning.

Bishop Ignatius in his writings states the opposite. He says that dreams are the tricks of demons who are trying in this way to harm the peace of mind of people and sow evil thoughts there. The Lord, however, invented the night time so that a person could fully rest not only physically, but also morally. Therefore, he should not see dreams at this time that distract him from calmness.

The meaning of dreams

What kind of dream is and how dreams are divided according to semantic meaning, many people are interested. For this reason, there are many books that are able to interpret the essence of what they saw during the rest. Dream Interpretations were created by predictors who have the ability to recognize signs seen and not understood by a person. If you believe these books, then each plot has a connection with real life. In addition, any object or phenomenon seen at night carries its own semantic load. The question of what kind of dream happens can be answered thanks to its correct interpretation. Following this theory, any image is symbolic and prophetic. The meaning of dreams does not reflect the full picture of the upcoming event, but indirectly indicates it (for example, a joyful or sad event is expected in the future).

Sleep is a unique phenomenon that has not yet been fully disclosed by science due to the fact that it is very difficult to study and complicates the application of the scientific approach. However, some progress has been made in this area. Some regularities of the influence of night scenes on people were revealed. As a result of this, all dreams were systematized by scientists and divided into groups.

Types of dreams:

1. Actual. This view is the simplest and most easily explained. It reflects our memories, or repeats our emotions experienced during the day. They don't carry any information.
2. Repetitive. The repetition of the same dream indicates the presence of some insoluble problem in a person. His subconscious motivates him to search for a solution to the problem. But, unfortunately, it is very difficult to determine what kind of situation worries a person at night. Perhaps the help of specialists (psychologists, psychoanalysts) will come in handy.
3. Continuing dreams. This option is very similar to the previous one. Most likely, there is a problem, it is simply stated in several series. With the elimination of the problem or difficulties, the series of endless dreams will cease to bother.
4. Compensatory. Often people have a lot of complexes. Compensatory dreams help them feel better, stronger, smarter. People imagine themselves as the rulers of the worlds and warriors, defeating crowds of villains. This type of dream allows you to create a balance with the psychological assessment of a person and rid him of complexes.
5. Creative. Such dreams are the lot of writers, artists, poets, artists, in a word, people of art. Through dreams, they are looking for new ways to express themselves. They are even in a dream in search of a plot, characters, come up with new acting moves. Many of the characters of Charles Dickens came to him in a dream.
6. Physiological. These types of dreams are the result of external conditions. If a person is cold, he may dream of snow, if he falls out of bed, he may dream that he is floating in the air. This category also includes erotic dreams that arose due to long sexual abstinence.
7. Prophetic. This is the least studied type of sleep. All that is known for sure is that they actually exist. But what are prophetic dreams, why and why - science is still unknown. Most often they come in the second half of the night, when the person is rested.
8. Warning. With the help of warning dreams, the subconscious mind tries to convey to the person information about the impending disaster.

Types and stages of sleep

When a person sleeps, there is an alternation of two main phases: REM and non-REM sleep. At the beginning of falling asleep, the slow phase predominates, and before awakening, the fast one.

Non-REM sleep is divided into the following stages:

• drowsiness with dream-like hallucinations and half-asleep daydreams;
• turning off consciousness, it is easy to wake a person at this moment;
• consciousness continues to turn off - the person stops responding to noises;
• deep dream.

REM sleep is a state reminiscent of being awake. The person is completely motionless, but the eyeballs move under the eyelids. If a person is awakened at this moment, he will surely tell you about some vivid dream.

- a mental state characterized by a person's detachment from the outside world. In physiological terms, sleep is a condition for restoring vitality and energy in the human body. In psychological terms, sleep is the suspension of a person's response to the world around him through perception and action. For psychoanalysis, sleep is of interest not so much from the point of view of physiology as psychology. In Lectures on Introduction to Psychoanalysis (1916/17), Z. Freud gave the following psychological characterization of sleep. “Sleep is a state in which I do not want to know anything about the outside world, my interest in it fades. I sink into sleep, moving away from the outside world, holding back its irritations. I also fall asleep if I'm tired of it. Falling asleep, I kind of say to the outside world: "Leave me alone, I want to sleep." Thus, if the biological purpose of sleep is rest, then its psychological sign is the loss of interest in the world. In the state of sleep, there is not only a loss of interest in the world, but also a desire to find the peace that a person had before his birth. “Our attitude towards the world into which we have so reluctantly entered seems to carry with it the fact that we cannot endure it continuously. Therefore, from time to time we return to the state in which we were before we were born, that is, to intrauterine existence. We are creating at least completely similar conditions that were then: warm, dark and not annoying. Some still curl up into a ball and assume the same position of the body during sleep as in the womb. Waking up after sleep is like being born. It is generally accepted that if sleep is primarily peace, which does not involve any mental activity, then the only expedient is sleep without dreams. In this sense, the dream, as it were, is not included in the sleep program and is a reaction to an irritation that interferes with sleep. However, as Z. Freud believed, this is not so. Firstly, there are so-called waking dreams, which are associated with fantasies and which testify not to peace, but to the mental activity of a person. Secondly, as children's dreams show, their function acts as a "guardian of sleep", arising from two competing tendencies - the desire for sleep and the desire for the satisfaction of mental irritation. Therefore, we can say that "dreams are the elimination of sleep-disturbing (mental) stimuli by hallucinatory satisfaction." Z. Freud proceeded from the fact that in a state of sleep a person is in the grip of selfish motives. If, under the influence of these motives, a person has bad intentions, then they cannot lead to anything other than a practically harmless dream. As the founder of psychoanalysis noted in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900), “it would be appropriate to remember the words of Plato that a virtuous person is limited to only dreaming what a bad person does.” Initially, Z. Freud adhered to this particular position. He believed that what appears in a dream is dominated by exclusively selfish motives. However, after his theory of libido was revised from the point of view of understanding the phenomenon of narcissism, which was reflected in his work "On Narcissism" (1914), he had to admit that "sleep is a state in which all attachments to objects, both libidinal and egotistical are abandoned and returned to the ego. Thus, he took a fresh look at the state of sleep, believing that the sleeping person regains complete narcissism, in which the libido and interest of the Self are inseparable in the self-satisfying Self. On this basis, Z. Freud put forward the assumption that the repressed unconscious becomes independent of Self, as a result of which it does not obey the desire to sleep and retains its attachments, even if attachments dependent on the Self to objects are abandoned for the sake of sleep. In the "New Cycle of Lectures on Introduction to Psychoanalysis" (1933), Z. Freud emphasized that the departure from the real external world in the state of sleep creates a condition for the development of psychosis. At the same time, “the harmless dream psychosis is the result of a consciously desired and only temporary withdrawal from the outside world, and it disappears when relations with this world are resumed.” Z. Freud's ideas about sleep were further developed and critically rethought by a number of analysts. So, K.G. Jung (1875-1961) came to the conclusion that Freud's understanding of the dream as a function of protecting sleep is limited, although the idea expressed by the founder of psychoanalysis about the biological compensatory function remains true. According to him, this compensatory function "deals only to a limited extent with the state of sleep itself": dreams support sleep, but do so automatically under the influence of the dream state; they can disturb sleep if their function requires it, that is, when compensatory contents are intense, they can interrupt sleep. This point of view was expressed by him in the report "Psychology of Dreams" (1916), the text of which was expanded and published in 1928. E. Fromm (1900–1980) considered the psychological function of sleep not only from the point of view of avoiding the outside world, which Z. Freud drew attention to, but also in terms of human freedom. In his opinion, a person is helpless in a dream (it is no coincidence that sleep is called the “brother of death”), but at the same time, he is freer than during wakefulness. In a dream, a person is free from the burden of work, from the need to defend or attack, from the need to observe or act. In his work “Forgotten Language” (1951), E. Fromm noted on this occasion that “in a dream, the realm of necessity gives way to the realm of freedom, in which the “I” is the only system that is the application of thoughts and feelings.” In a word, sleep is free from the function of action characteristic of wakefulness, and it is connected with the function of a person's perception of himself. In addition, the state of sleep has a dual function: in the absence of contacts with culture, both the worst and the best appear in a dream; “in sleep we may not be so intelligent, not so wise and not so decent, but we can be better and wiser than when we are awake.” If Z. Freud correlated the state of sleep with the intrauterine existence of a person, and his predecessors considered sleep as a kind of equivalent of death (the concept of "sleep" - from the Greek hipnos - goes back to the myth of Hypnos, the son of the night, Nikita and the brother of death, Thanatos), then some psychoanalysts see in the state of sleep a prototype of immortality. In particular, the French psychoanalyst D. Anzier emphasized that "in reality, to dream means to deny the fact that a person is mortal." This point of view was reflected in his book The Skin Self (1985) in the form of the question: “How could day life be endured without this nocturnal conviction of immortality, at least partial?”. In modern psychoanalytic literature, more attention is paid to the consideration of the nature of dreams, their interpretation, and less to the phenomenon of sleep as such. However, some research raises questions related to the understanding of sleep. In particular, the article by R. Grinberg and S. Perlman "The Sleep Continuum in Psychoanalysis: The Source and Functions of Dreaming" (1975) reflects the results of laboratory methods for studying sleep, on the basis of which it was concluded that sleep is associated with the processing of information for the purpose of emotional adaptation....

In a dream, a person is Jesus Christ, the mother of God, a saint, dead or alive, but far away, close, and possibly unclean. And it also happens that a person himself visits his dead in a dream. Such visions always reveal something important, and it is necessary to understand them first of all. For visions, the time, the day on which they dreamed is not relevant. You can tell them or not, they are still true, the main thing is to understand them correctly. If a vision reveals to a person what he does not like, then it is pointless to re-lay the linen or look at the fire - the vision always speaks of what is inevitable.

Dream Interpretation - Incoherent dreams

You see some events that cannot be called events, because they do not have a semantic core, a logical connection; perhaps this is a random set of pictures, a kaleidoscope of emotions - a dream indicates your chronic fatigue; in connection with the unpleasant events that have befallen you, you have experienced psychological overload for a long time; you need to rest, to escape from the environment that affects you negatively.
