We all have bad dreams such as being chased or shot at, or terrifying images …until we wake up in a panic. But do not worry since nightmares may have some good sides for your mental health.
According to New York Magazine, some sleep analysts have suggested that terrible dreams serve as a type of emotional release, permitting us to relinquish the stresses and tensions that torment us in our walking lives.
They explained “The things that concern us most when we're awake continue to mess with us when we're asleep. Your unconscious brain takes your abstract fears and turns them into stories in the form of nightmares."
The bad dream basically takes a fear and transforms it into a memory. This is useful, since recollections are easier for the psyche to adapt to in light of the fact that it speaks to something that happened before, than "vague anxieties about the world around us”
And here are 5 things that dreams can tell you:
1. You have a fever: being sick can lead to nightmares, especially a fever. So please take care of your health and listen to what your body is trying to tell.
2. You are stressed out: stress can turn out to be common dream themes follow you into bed. A strange dream may inform you it is time to relax and slow down.
3. Your sugar blood may be low: people with diabetes may experience bad dreams as a symptom. Be careful!
4. Congratulations! You may be pregnant: while pregnant, mothers can attest to dreaming more than usual. An Israeli study of 166 pregnant women found that the more harrowing dreams a woman had, the less likely she was to develop postpartum depression. And an Italian study of 290 women linked more dreams (and more upsetting dreams) with shorter labor times.
5. You need to see a mental health specialist: if nightmares happen all the time you may think of seeing doctors. Bipolar disorder is known to cause vivid or bizarre dreams in some people, according to WebMD.
