Causes Of Weird Dreams
All human beings, other mammals and a few types of birds are able to dream in their sleep. Dreams are experiences of envisioned images, sounds and emotions while you are asleep. You cannot control what you dream, but most experts agree that dreams are a reflection of what is happening in your life or sometimes what you may be repressing in your waking moments.
Not all dreams can be recalled once you are awake. Sometimes, you just have the feeling that you were dreaming, but trying to recall what it was about will be like trying to retain water in your cupped hands. Sometimes you wake up feeling a deep emotion like sadness or panic or even unexplained happiness. All this may be because of the dreams you had.
Dreams are very vivid and more often than not weird. The laws of science may not apply in most dreams and once awake you tend to think of dreams as a fantasy. Weird dreams are not uncommon and you often wonder what such dreams mean.
Here we try to establish the causes of weird dreams.
Reflected reality: In most cases dreams mean something connected to the reality of our life. It can be a reflection of something that has already occurred or something, which we fear to happen soon.
Huge life changes: Weird dreams may occur if you long for a happy incident or fear any horrible accident. It can be a happy consequence like a pregnancy or a sad one like the passing of a loved one. These can cause a mental stress, which ends up as weird dreams.
Changes in blood sugar level: Low blood sugar level is one of the causes of weird dreams. They are especially vivid and causes adrenalin rush through the body. It is a technique adopted by the brain to balance the glucose level in your body.
Shocking news: Dreams mean also shocking news that you just heard, maybe of a neighbourhood murder, which can result in vivid nightmares. Anything that shocks you is sure to be reflected as weird dreams.
Just plain sick: If you are feverish or otherwise sick, be ready for some weird dreams. High temperature is known to induce some pretty wild dreams that have absolutely no reflection on your reality.
A stress buster: Weird dreams are also your mind’s stress busters. If you are under pressure at work or at home, it can reflect in weird dreams. Such dreams mean your mind is trying to cope with undue stress in life.
Post traumatic stress disorder: This is very evident in war veterans or people who have just lived through a traumatic experience. These cause weird dreams to come to you at night as you relive your experience in them.
Bipolar disorder: This is a mental disorder that can cause weird dreams. If you have this or any other kind of mental trouble, it is time to consult your doctor to see what your vivid dream means.
Drug and alcohol intake: Your drug and alcohol intake will cause changes in your sleep pattern and thereby your dreams as well. Alcohol induced sleep is a cause of weird dreams that may or may not have any reflection on reality.
