As it turns out men and women of different dreams nightmares

Imagine that you had a dream: you feel that someone or something is hiding from you in the shade. You are trying to escape, but the unknown is stalking you on the heels, and all the time catching up. You feel an indescribable horror and wake up. Heart beats frantic pace, you seemed paralyzed.

What it was this mysterious creature that disturb your sleep - maniac or ever criticize you-in-law? The answer will depend on who you are - male or female.

Experts in the field of sleep Genevieve Robert and Antonio Zadra of the University of Montreal examined a total of 9, 796 Dreams, 550 respondents recorded for 2-5 weeks, of which 431 - were bad dreams (that causes unpleasant feelings) and 253 - Nightmare (ie heavy dreams, from which a person wakes up). In other words, the nightmare was more "emotional intensity" than a bad dream.

"Violence, failures and unfortunate events largely dominated by nightmares" - say psychologists.

They found that 35% and 55% of mosquitoes bad dreams have nothing to do with fear, there prevail different emotions (guilt, resentment, sadness, disgust).

But the actual content of nightmares depends on gender of the person. The woman has nightmares more often associated with interpersonal conflicts, for example, a break with your partner, with family disputes, quarrels and experience of the behavior of the child, and more. In these nightmares dominated by feelings of humiliation, failure, disappointment.

Men tend to have nightmares associated with disasters, wars, natural disasters. In the women's nightmares are often present friends and family, while men in their nightmares get out alone. Psychologists also found that the average woman's nightmares more often than men.

According to Zadra and Robert, in part Nightmares are heavier and strong display of past experiences or events.
