According to experts in the field of sleep, snoring is one of the most innocuous things that can happen to you in a dream. Below are 7 of the most interesting and slightly frightening anomalies that can occur with a person during sleep.
1. Paralysis. With this phenomenon, people waking up in the morning, and realize that they can not move, and sometimes they can not even breathe. This condition can last from a couple of seconds to several minutes. Doctors explain this by the fact that the brain wakes up a little before the body.
2. Sleepwalking. Unlike other phenomena in a dream, sleepwalking is quite dangerous. A person in such a state can harm himself, get hurt, slide down the stairs, or get behind the wheel. Sleepwalking - the opposite of paralysis in a dream. In this state, only your body wakes up, and the brain sleeps, and that is why you are not aware of your night wanderings. Sleepwalking can be congenital (this is often seen in epileptics) or it can occur due to stress or under the influence of some sleeping pills.
3. Feeling of falling. This phenomenon is also called hypnagogic jerk. Such a feeling you may experience when you just fall asleep. Sometimes the brain is disconnected from stress or overwork before the body and in such a state you may dream that you are falling from a high-rise building or from a cliff. The cause of this phenomenon, scientists have not yet determined.
4. Repeating dreams. With the help of dreams, our brain processes all the information received, and then leaves it as memories. The syndrome of recurring dreams is most often caused by unsolved psychological problems. Most often in recurring dreams you can see what happened to you in real life and what shocked you greatly. In order to get rid of recurring dreams, you just need to comprehend what happened and learn to live with it.
5. Conversations in a dream. Oddly enough, but men more often talk in their sleep than women. About 5 percent of the adult male population suffers from this syndrome. Conversations in a dream most often last about half a minute, not more. This occurs approximately in the first two hours of sleep, when your body has already entered the stage of deep sleep, but there is enough tonus left in the muscles to make sounds.
6. Syndrome "exploding head." As described by experts in the field of sleep, this syndrome manifests itself in this way: a person wakes up from what he hears a loud explosion, as it seems to him, or saw a bright flash, or maybe just woke up from the feeling that his head is exploding. This syndrome can be called one of the varieties of hypnano-logical breakthrough due to the similarity of sensations. In this state, you are already immersed in sleep, but your feelings are still awake and thus you may dream, an explosion that will seem quite realistic.
7. Sex in a dream. Doctors call this phenomenon a sexomnia, and if not strange, many people suffer from this syndrome. According to doctors, about 1 in 100 people are susceptible to this type of sleep disorder. It is very interesting that during research, sleep specialists have found that often people’s behavior during sex in a dream is very different from their behavior during sex in a normal state. This syndrome can be called a kind of sleepwalking: Your body wakes up before the brain and all your actions are not conscious. As with sleepwalking, many people have little or no memory of their nightly adventures. Thus, in 2003, a man was acquitted in Canada, who almost raped a woman, arriving in a dormant state. Fortunately, people suffering from this kind of disorders, it is quite possible to recover from a sexomnia.
