WHY DO WE
DREAM?
Scientists
say that many biological processes happen during sleep: The brain stores new
information and gets rid of toxic waste. Nerve cells communicate and
reorganize, which supports healthy brain function. The body repairs cells,
restores energy, and releases molecules like hormones and proteins.
However, I
was interested in knowing why people dream and where dreams come from. The
prevailing theory is that dreaming helps you consolidate and analyze memories such
as skills and habits, and serves as a “rehearsal” for various situations and
challenges that one faces during the daytime.
There is
another explanation.
Dreams are
often about identity, because we're figuring out who we are and what we need,
and the beliefs and perspectives we hold," says Wallace. "If you feel
unfulfilled, undervalued or not the person you want to be in waking life, your
dreams will often reflect this.”
Have you
ever dreamt of being naked in a crowd?
I did, many
times.
“Nudity is
connected to the fear of being vulnerable and embracing great change,” says Nicole
Bowman, certified dream analyst.
Bowman said,
“Oftentimes, when we dream of being naked, that experience correlates to a huge
transformation that is happening in our lives.”
I believe
she is right.
