London - Saba:
A recent study conducted by Simba, a British sleep technology company, revealed that dreams are not random, but rather represent coded messages from the subconscious that reflect our feelings and daily experiences.
The study analyzed the dreams of 2,000 adults over a week and found that dreams have become an emotional mirror of people's lives, ranging from anxiety and pursuit to romance and adventure.
- A quarter of participants experienced anxious dreams, such as those of pursuit and loss.
- 23% dreamed of more positive themes, such as romance and adventure.
- The most common dreams involved people from the past or romantic relationships (13%).
Gender differences were observed: women were more likely to have anxious dreams, while men had more imaginative and surreal dreams.
The results also showed that dreams often took place in familiar settings, such as homes and schools.
One of the most notable findings is the so-called "dream flow," where Saturday nights are the nights with the highest dream recall rates due to the longer sleep on Sunday mornings, allowing for deeper sleep stages that enhance dream lucidity.
Lisa Artis of the Sleep Society emphasized that dreams are a way for the mind to process stress and emotions, while Steve Reed of Simba pointed out that understanding dreams helps us understand ourselves and improve the quality of our sleep.
The study found an interesting paradox: 13% of participants remembered their dreams daily, while a third of participants remembered almost nothing, reflecting the importance of dreams as a window into the unconscious and hidden emotions.
