About dreams and that is why the most fantastic and the most vivid dreams during a full moon dream





In one of the latest scientific studies have shown that the most unusual and the most beautiful dreams we dream during a full moon. In addition, the contents of our dreams can influence and days of the week and times of the year. But still the most significant influence on the dreams have just phases of the moon.

In the experiment, led by psychologist Richard Wiseman, was attended by several thousand volunteers. The task of these people was to ensure that the bed while they play different sounds.

Wiseman said: "For example, someone dreamed he was flying on a dragon, and then drank a cup of coffee in the company of George Clooney. Some saw themselves as superheroes fighting evil with a world in the image of Batman or Superman. While most of our dreams are related to mundane things - for example, a person sits all day in the office and working on the computer ".

The researchers found that during a full moon, we fall asleep longer, sleep, on average, 20 minutes less and not as deep as in other periods.

Production of the hormone melatonin, which affects the quality of our sleep, under the influence of the full moon is also changing. According to Professor Wiseman it may also violate customary during sleep.

Other, even more interesting explanation is that human evolution has awarded a special sensitivity to the lunar phases.

According to this theory, the ability to more sensitively to sleep during a full moon when something safeguard us from predators, which was much easier to hunt in those without such dark nights.

Our ancestors could also use the light of a full moon for night hunting - perhaps more so in the light of the night we still difficult to sleep.

Even more surprising results analyzed the dreams of people who listened to different sounds. Half a million people took part in this study, with the help of a mobile application, issuing multiple types of signals. It happened like this: participants in the experiment set an alarm clock, and 40 minutes before the appointed time the phone started to make sounds. Then the participant had to write down what he dreamed.

Most often, we remember those dreams that have seen just before awakening.

Those people who are waking up to hear the birds singing, or the rustle of grass, were told that they dreamed of greenery and flowers, while the gulls caused the dream of a beach holiday. From car horns and general noise of the city people came in a dream into trouble.

Professor Wiseman sure found the opportunity to help people wake up in a good mood and full of energy.

He said: "We have discovered a way to give people the most beautiful dreams. This discovery could be the basis of a new type of therapy, useful for people with certain psychological problems - such as depression ".

Many people complain that they are most often gloomy dream dreams. It is possible that their brain uses the time "downtime" to cope with anxiety. It is possible that more pleasant dreams to help such people to rationalize their anxiety and thus improve their well-being.
