Dreams can signal disease

Why do dreams reflect the disease without clinical symptoms during the incubation period? From a pathological perspective, many physical and mental illnesses are not obvious during the incubation period. Modern physiological psychologists believe that people receive external stimulation signals during the day or when they are awakened, making the brain unable to take into account weak information about the beginning of a disease. In addition, the brain can regulate this and make it disappear. When a person is asleep, the input of information from the outside world is greatly reduced, and many brain cells are in a 'resting' state. Therefore, when abnormal stimulating signals from such latent lesions are transmitted into the brain, they can activate corresponding cells in the brain. Once the excitement spreads to the cerebral cortex, the brain cells will be stressed, resulting in various dreams.

According to research results by American scientists, deprivation of dream sleep for several consecutive days can cause people to experience tension, anxiety, distraction, irritation, and even hallucinations and abnormal behavior. Research by the University of Edinburgh found that during dream sleep, extremely active chemical reactions occur in the brain, protein synthesis and renewal of brain cells reach a peak, and metabolism accelerates, which gives brain cells that cannot be replaced themselves the opportunity to quickly update their protein composition, ready to put into intense work. If you sleep soundly in the dreamless sleep stage every night, you will not be able to wake up because the protein in your brain cells is not renewed. It can be seen that dreams and life are closely related. Different diseases are associated with different dreams, and dreams for the same disease are usually similar.

Patients with coronary heart disease and heart disease are often chased in their dreams, afraid in their hearts, unable to shout and suddenly woke up. Some can also dream of falling from a high place, but wake up when they can't fall to the ground. People with angina often dream of horrific dreams such as being distorted or being hanged, as well as the feeling of dying from angina. If you go to the hospital for examination, you will be diagnosed with a coronary heart disease attack, and there is a greater possibility of poor coronary blood flow.

Patients with lung diseases such as pneumonia, pleurisy, tuberculosis, lung cancer, etc. often dream that their chest is compressed and they are carrying a heavy burden, or dream that the trachea is stuck, breathing is not smooth, or suffocation. Fever patients often dream of flying into the sky, burning themselves in flames, fighting with monsters, tearing things or running with cries.

People with brain tumors and nervous system diseases will dream of someone or a monster beating the head, or pouring fluid into the five senses. People who hear a strange sound in their dreams may have certain lesions in the auditory center or the nearby blood vessels may harden. Scenes of dreaming about water, such as floods, swamps, drowning, etc., suggest that there may be lesions in the liver and gallbladder system and kidneys. After being beaten in a dream, when you wake up, you feel pain in the part where you were beaten in the dream, which indicates that the corresponding viscera may have lesions. Therefore, relevant experts believe that if dreams similar to the above scenarios occur many times during sleep, attention should be paid to them.
