On the causes of dreams from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root cause of dreaminess is the internal changes of the body. "Su Wen? Fang's theory of rise and fall:? It is precisely because of the lack of qi that people are fascinated and extremely fascinating. ? The so-called qi deficiency means that the qi is insufficient, and the yang fails to keep the yin and the god is unprepared, so it is a dream. This is also one of the reasons. However, emotional damage, visceral injury, loss of essence, make you uneasy and dreamy; Yin and blood deficiency can not nourish the mind, hide the liver and soul, limit the fire, and make the mind wander and dream more; Phlegm heat interferes with the liver and gallbladder, so the soul is restless and dreamy; Overwork, fire and water are not good, heart and kidney are not harmonious, people are uneasy and dream more; A dishonest diet makes the soil dull, restless and dreamy. The appearance of dreaminess leads to restless sleep and changeable dreams.
Suffer from insomnia
Clinical observation and experimental results prove that the chief complaint of insomnia, especially long-term insomnia, is unreliable. Many scholars have studied the patients who complained of insomnia and found that insomnia is related to psychological disorders. They often overestimate the sleep latency and underestimate the actual sleep time. During the experimental test, the description of sleep parameters by insomnia patients is inconsistent with the objective records, either exaggerated or narrowed. Most experts believe that the experience of insomnia is related to mood and personality.
(1) Little is known about the knowledge of sleep and the relationship between sleep and dreaminess: many people don't know the alternation of sleep cycles, the position of dreams in sleep, physiological functions and the difference between dreams and dreaminess, and they don't know that dreams or dreaminess have no side effects. The unscientific interpretation of dreams by old traditional concepts and feudal superstitions has caused people to be afraid of dreams, which has led many people to blindly fall into fear of dreams.
(2) It is related to people's emotional state: many people lack understanding of emotional disorder, do not know that emotional disorder is a disease, and often ignore the emotional disorder itself and pay too much attention to symptoms such as insomnia, dreaminess and pain related to emotional disorder. I don't know how to adjust and improve my mood, but I just exaggerate my less objective experience.
(3) paying too much attention to one's own health and dreams leads to the enhancement of dreams; On the other hand, the increased sense of dreams aggravates the fear of health and insomnia, and even forms a vicious circle.
(4) Some people wake up in the fast wave sleep period or wake up immediately after the fast wave sleep period, which leads to the increase of dream memory.
(5) Differences in individual functional states: Different individuals have different dreams, even if the same individual has different functional states in different periods, the degree of dreams is not the same. Therefore, some people have a strong sense of dreams for a while (MUBI), while others have a weak sense of dreams (fewer dreams).
