The relationship between dreams and health

< p > < / p > < p > everyone dreams every day, but some people wake up and forget the contents of the dream, or don't remember having a dream at all, while some people wake up with vivid memories of the dream, even more serious. They can't even distinguish between dreams and reality. < / p > < p > people who dream when they sleep and forget when they wake up, congratulations, show that the quality of sleep is quite good. Even if they are tired the day before and have a good night's sleep, they can basically recover their physical strength and spirit. < / p > < p > people who wake up and remember their dreams clearly, needless to say, must be of poor quality of sleep. such people either feel sore all over or feel dizzy after waking up, in short, they seem to be more tired than not sleeping. < / p > < p > Why is there such a difference? < / p > < p > about dreams in the West, there is Freud's 'Dream interpretation', which analyzes all kinds of dreams from a psychological point of view. In ancient China, there was 'Dream interpretation' by the Duke of Zhou, which thought that different dreams often foreshadowed what would happen in reality. as a result, many people have dreams at night, they have to find answers from these two theories, but they do not associate dreaming with their physical health. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine believes that what kind of dream is determined by a person's health. < / p > < p > here, for those who have no idea that they will dream after falling asleep, or vaguely know that they dream, but do not remember what dreams they have, because it shows that there is nothing wrong with the person's body. Let's focus on situations where you can fully remember your dreams when you wake up. < / p > < p > first of all, we need to know what sleep was called in ancient times. The literal meaning is more terrible, called 'little death'. Why do you call it that? Because the state of people at this time is very similar to death, the difference is that when we are asleep, the three souls and seven souls are still watching over us, although the body is motionless and the consciousness is relatively weak, when necessary, the three souls and seven souls will wake us up and quickly return to the state when we are awake. < / p > < p > the soul dominates our consciousness, while the soul controls our unconscious movements, such as breathing, heartbeat, hearing, smell, and so on. Therefore, the soul is closely related to our dreams. < / p > < p > where is the soul hidden? Hidden in the liver. The liver relieves diarrhea and adjusts a body of qi and blood. If the body qi and blood runs normally, the liver blood is well hidden, and the soul is well hidden, then we will not dream. However, once there is something wrong with the movement of qi and blood anywhere in the body, it will disturb the liver and make you feel uneasy. You have to go out and wander around, and dreams happen. < / p > < p > We can give several examples: < / p > < p > Nightmare, commonly known as ghost pressing bed, is to feel something pressed on the body in sleep, unable to move, or conscious, feeling that you are going to wake up, but you can't wake up, your eyes can't open, and your body can't move, as if you were under the control of someone else. The cause of the nightmare is that the sleeping posture is incorrect, such as the pressure of the hand on the chest, resulting in poor operation of qi and blood in the chest and a sense of distress in the chest. Second, too much pressure, excessive anxiety, liver qi stagnation, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. < / p > < p > Mengfei, that is, I feel like I am flying in the air in my dream. This kind of feeling is often full of energy, and my soul rises with it. After falling asleep, I will feel light and fluttering, and I can fly freely in the air. < / p > < p > Dream falls, that is, you dream that you fall from a height. This is because you are full of qi, which has a lot to do with pressure. According to traditional Chinese medicine, if you are afraid of falling down, your soul will follow. If you are very afraid of what will happen for a period of time, you often have a dream of falling from a height. < / p > < p > there are still many contents of dreams, and what kind of dreams we have depends on our health at that time. < / p > < p > people with liver diseases often dream that they quarrel with others and get angry. I also dream of scenes related to flowers and trees. < / p > < p > people with lung diseases often dream of crying, or something that makes them sad, or separation from relatives, and often dream of white scenes, such as snow, or meeting people with knives and soldiers. < / p > < p > people who are mentally ill often dream of scenes that have a lot to do with fire and heat, such as being in a sea of fire. But if the heart is too cold, the dream is just the opposite, the cold tone dominates everything, the dream is full of discouraged things, unhappy things, frustrating things. < / p > < p > people with spleen diseases often dream of vomiting, heavy body, unable to move and so on, and often dream of things they have just experienced during the day, and sometimes the dreams that last a few days can be connected like a TV series. < / p > < p > people with kidney disease often dream about things related to water, such as feeling anxious in a dream but can't find a toilet, or falling into the water in a dream. < / p > < p > in a word, people who often dream and feel tired after waking up are hardly healthy. And if we often have the same type of dream, we need to pay great attention to it. it can be said that at this time, the dream is actually the first warning issued by the body to us, which must correspond to where something is wrong in our body. at this time, when you go to the hospital for examination, the equipment may not be able to detect the pathological changes in your body, but our own bodies are very smart, not only aware of it, but also send us a signal that we need. Is that we can read the signal correctly and respond appropriately. < / p >
