why are dreams so weird

dreams

I had a weird dream last night. In my dream, it was raining heavily and I shared an umbrella with my best friend. However, suddenly my friend told me ” your shoulder is too broad, get out of the umbrella”. And this is my best friend I am talk about. In reality, I don’t think she will do this to me.However, in dreams, everything is possible.

I know many of you also think dreams are weird. And here are some ways to interpret our dreams. First. let’s talk about some commons dreams that people always dream of and the meanings behind these dreams.

The first one is falling. Many of you might experience falling from high above in the sky and you wake up catching your breath. This is a very common dream and is said to symbolize insecurities and anxiety. I won’t be surprised if you have this dream right before a big test or exam. And it also means that you get a feeling you may fail something. Another common dream is being naked in public. We might have this dream at different points in our life. And this dream can suggest that you are trying to hide something or you are not prepared for it. If this dream pop to head, the best thing you can do is get yourself prepared for whatever you need.

        Another thing about dreaming is that people say dreams are always opposite of reality. I remember when I was in high school, I dreamed about failing my tests all the time. On the contrary, those tests actually all ended very well. There is no scientific explanation  for this. In my opinion, we dream about something usually because we care about it. Meanwhile, we fear to loss things that we care. And normally, if we really care about something, we work hard for it. As a result, we are anxious about it and dream about it in a bad result but have an good result in the reality.

    I think this post is very relevant. We dream everyday, but I don’t think we analyze all of the time why we dream certain things. Dreaming is such an interesting topic, and should be talked about more frequently. I think it is interesting that if you wake up during REM sleep, you remember your dreams.

    While not completely confirmed, the ‘Falling Dream’ is thought to come about due to your body relaxing faster then you can fall asleep, causing your brain to take in these relaxation signals and believe you’re literally falling, so it forces you to sit upright to stop the ‘falling’. (http://www.failedsuccess.com/index.php?/weblog/comments/falling_sleep_hypnic_jerk/).
    I also read another theory somewhere else that when your heartbeat slows down too quickly it makes your brain think you may be dying so it increases it”s heartbeat by forcing your muscles to tense up and leading you to jump awake. I can’t remember or find the article I read that though.
