Throughout its history of existence, humanity has been dreaming. And he tries to understand their nature, remember and interpret what he saw in a dream.
To our ancestors, dreams seemed to be something mystical and mysterious. They were often described in works of art, they were given great importance.
It has been proven that every person has dreams (and even mammals) - everyone goes through a device-controlled phase of REM (rapid eye movement), in which dreams take place. If you wake up a person during this phase, he will remember his dream with 85% probability. There are people who do not remember dreams at all.
There are certain omens and beliefs associated with dreams. Several dozen dream books are known who are ready to interpret every night vision. Our ancestors had a theory that in a dream, the human soul leaves the body and travels around the world, visits other worlds.
Sometimes it is in a dream that a guardian angel appears in the form of deceased relatives, for example, warning a person of impending disaster, protecting him from death.
As science explains the nature of dreams.
At night, our brain structures the information received during the day, analyzes it. Also, during the rest period, the brain displays information that it once remembered, even if we did not pay attention to what is happening, in the form of bright pictures and moving images. Thus, the key to unraveling the nature of dreams is our subconscious and the information stored in the brain, our personal memories and experiences.
Therefore, according to dreams, you can determine the fears and desires of a person, what worries him at the moment.

Another hypothesis of what is happening in a dream is the ability of our brain to "snatch" certain facts from the information field that constantly exists around us. From the point of view of this hypothesis, time is a relative concept. And what happens to us at another point of the information field, we can see in a dream, this is how they interpret the phenomenon of prophetic dreams and a person's ability to see any future events.
According to scientific research on dreams, 2 important discoveries have been made:
- there are only 12 dream scenarios, among which scenes about the pursuit, falling and being captured / trapped / awkward are leading.
- sleep arose as a protective reaction of a person in the early stages of brain formation. Dreaming prepared us for all kinds of dangerous situations that could happen.
There is no unambiguous approach regarding the interpretation of dreams. It is imperative to pay attention to the psyche and character of a person, taking into account the existing situation. For example, a man dreams that in a dream they are strangling him and trying to kill him. He wakes up, realizes that the tie around his neck is tied very tightly, which is why he feels unpleasant. And according to some dream books, one could explain what he saw to the loss of finances or failure in business.
Religion (Orthodoxy) is wary of dreams. There are a number of cases, indicated in the scriptures, when the prophets received news of significant events in their dreams. However, the church advises not to pay attention to the dreams of an ordinary person, God or angels can appear only to a highly spiritual person, and the rest is from the devil, especially dreams of erotic, mystical, detective content, dead people.
The concept of lucid dreaming is known. A person in a state of sleep can control everything that happens, simulate events, get an answer to any question, go to any chosen place, and after waking up he clearly remembers what he saw. This state is achieved through long training, can act as a source of knowledge for psychologists and the study of the human brain, train the brain's abilities, expand the usual perception of the world.
Adhering to any hypothesis of the origin of dreams, one should not neglect their significance.
