What are dreams?

Dreams are less perplexing in their own right.

According to sleep medicine expert Dr. Michelle Drerup, dreams are mental images or activity that occurs while we sleep.

You can dream at any stage of sleep, but your most vivid dreams usually happen during rapid eye movement sleep, also known as REM sleep.

That is the stage of sleep when your brain is very active, your eyes move quickly behind your closed eyes, and you experience brief muscular tone loss.

Why do we dream

What causes people to dream? It’s a timeless question.

Experts don’t know much about why individuals dream and where dreams come from.

The most common idea is that dreaming aids in the retention and analysis of memories such as abilities and habits.

They likely function as a “rehearsal” for various events and obstacles that we confront throughout the day.

Experts have discovered that dreaming may coexist with mental problems. We do know that patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more prone to experience nightmares.

Because they reoccur around traumatic situations, they are symptoms of stress for those suffering from PTSD.

What do dreams mean

Although your dream experiences may be based on real-life occurrences, this does not mean your dreams are always realistic.

Determining the meaning of dreams is a difficult subject that physicians, researchers, and scientists are currently attempting to solve.

However, Dr. Drerup emphasizes that dream interpretation is subjective.

For example, if someone has recently lost their job, a dream about not being able to find their shoes may mean completely different to them than it would to someone who has recently divorced.
