人們會(huì)記得他們的夢嗎?

(資料圖)

一些人會(huì)記得他們的`夢。然而，大多數(shù)人會(huì)忘記晚上所發(fā)生的幾乎所有的事——夢、思想以及他們醒著時(shí)的短暫時(shí)光。但是，有時(shí)人們會(huì)在當(dāng)天晚些時(shí)候或改天突然想起他們的夢。他們對夢的記憶好像并沒有完全消失，但出于某種原因卻很難回憶起來。如果你想記住自己的夢，最好的辦法是一醒來就把它寫下來。

夢是彩色的嗎?

大多數(shù)夢是彩色的。然而，人們可能不會(huì)意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)。這是基于兩方面的原因：人們通常不會(huì)記住夢的細(xì)節(jié)，或者因?yàn)轭伾俏覀兩钪械淖匀唤M成部分，所以不會(huì)注意到。那些在醒著的時(shí)候意識(shí)到顏色的人可能會(huì)更經(jīng)常注意到夢的顏色。

夢有意義嗎?

科學(xué)家們不停地討論這個(gè)問題。然而，那些花時(shí)間思考他們夢的人相信夢是有意義的、有用的。有些人借助夢更多地了解自己的情感、思想、行為、動(dòng)機(jī)和價(jià)值觀。其他人發(fā)現(xiàn)夢可以幫助自己解決問題。藝術(shù)家、作家和科學(xué)家也確實(shí)經(jīng)常從夢中獲得創(chuàng)作的靈感。

我如何學(xué)會(huì)理解自己的夢?

要記得最重要的一點(diǎn)就是夢是個(gè)人的。夢里的人、行為以及情景都能反映你的經(jīng)歷、思想以及情感。有些夢境專家認(rèn)為某些類型的夢是很多人都有的，即使他們來自不同的文化或時(shí)期。然而，通常對于不同的人，同一個(gè)夢會(huì)有不同的意義。比如，做夢夢到大象對于一個(gè)動(dòng)物園管理員來說意味著一回事，而對于一個(gè)最喜歡大象毛絨玩具的小孩來說就意味著截然不同的事。為了學(xué)會(huì)理解自己的夢，首先要思考一下夢的每一部分對你意味著什么或者讓你想起了什么。然后尋找夢與日常生活中所發(fā)生事情的聯(lián)系。如果你認(rèn)真思考而且有耐心，或許你會(huì)更清晰地理解夢的意義。
