Why do people have nightmares? The main factors are these

I believe that almost everyone has had nightmares. The reason why people have nightmares is mostly due to psychological factors such as excessive tension before going to bed. In addition to stopping, this phenomenon may also occur if the body is ill.

1. Psychological factors

Excessive tension and excitement before going to bed, such as a child sleeping in an unfamiliar environment away from his parents for the first time, various inner conflicts and anxiety can all induce this syndrome. Listening to horror stories or watching horror movies before going to bed can also be one of the triggers.

2. Physical factors

Physical discomforts such as fever, polluted bedroom air, too thick bedding, improper sleeping posture, and pressure on the chest can all induce it. In addition, bad eating habits, such as eating too much at dinner or eating too little and being hungry, are also one of the causes of this disease.

Children often dream about life-threatening horrific events during their sleep, such as being chased by monsters, falling off a cliff, etc. The dreams are bizarre and absurd. Terrible dreams make children anxious, nervous, terrified, pale, sweating, and have a rapid heartbeat. Because muscles relax during sleep, people often struggle but are unable to do so, as if they were entangled. It is easy to wake up from a nightmare or be startled by a dream. After waking up, one will quickly become conscious and able to clearly recall the dream just had. It often takes a while before one can fall asleep again. More common in the second half of the night.

3. Folk custom factors

According to traditional folk customs, there are three types of nightmares. The first is a dead person appearing in a dream, the second is evil spirits causing trouble, and the third is seeing terrible things that will happen in the future. People began to study nightmares very early, which led to the Zhou Gong Interpretation of Dreams. By dreaming about different objects, people can analyze what disasters may be encountered in the future and prevent them. Folklore believes that nightmares are a very unlucky omen. If the prophecy of the dream is not eliminated, all kinds of terrible things will happen in the future.
