Why do you have nightmares?
nightmares do not appear for no reason. Every time they come, they have specific reasons, either psychological or physical.

These are the psychological factors that cause nightmares. Nightmares are also related to the narrow bedroom, hot, dirty air, too thick bedding, improper sleep posture, chest pressure, etc. in addition, it is also easy to induce nightmares if you eat too much or too little dinner and are in a state of hunger.
nightmares are also inextricably related to sleeping posture.

dreams have nothing to do with bad luck
many people have such distress: they often have nightmares or even wake up after falling asleep. Due to poor sleep, he was dizzy the next day, which affected his work and study. Some also worry that nightmares will bring bad luck to themselves, causing psychological fear and anxiety.
in fact, dreaming is a normal psychological phenomenon produced during sleep. In general, human brain nerve cells are in a state of inhibition during sleep. Sometimes the inhibition process is complete, sometimes not complete. If it is not completely inhibited and a few nerve cells in the cerebral cortex are excited, people will have dreams. Because the activities of a few cells lose the control and regulation of the whole cerebral cortex during the awakening state, some fragments in memory become active unrestricted, which may show strange dreams different from normal psychological activities. At this time, if the nerve cells related to language and movement are also in an excited state, they will not only have dreams, but also talk in dreams or sleepwalk.
the latest research abroad shows that people spend about one third of their life dreaming. Don’t worry about bad luck. There is no direct connection between good luck and bad luck.

Once they enter a dream, they are easy to have a dream related to it. Second, because people’s sleeping posture is not good, such as sleeping on their stomach or putting their hands on their chest oppressing their heart, they are easy to have some terrible nightmares. Some people also have nightmares when they are ill, such as headache, fever and poor heart, resulting in lack of oxygen or blood supply to the brain. So how can we reduce nightmares?
