There are situations when a person ceases to be interested in the surrounding world, for him, the brightness of the paint is lost. To fill up the emptiness that has arisen in sensations in this state, one's own imagination unfolds. In such a case, a dream is a special process that proceeds in a state of wakefulness (in contrast to dreams). A person imagines the resolution of any life situation in the form of a result that in his imagination looks like a joyful, long-awaited and alluring ending. In it, you can clearly trace the connection with the most secret needs and unfulfilled desires.
When a day comes, can this be regarded as a pathology?
Many situations in life require maximum concentration from a person - solving problems and finding a way out of difficult moments are associated with increased psycho-emotional stress. However, the life reserve of all is different, and someone may not be able to cope with the difficult stages of life. With an overstrain of memory and perception, fantasy, as a rule, does not participate in the work of these functions. Dreaming is an independent process. Sometimes it helps to cope with stress, gives hope. Dreams in psychology are not a pathological process. Unlike hallucinations, a person can always accurately track the occurrence without confusing it with illusory fabrications.
Dream provoking factors
- Moments of peace, a benign state of mind.
- Critical situations when finding a way out is not possible.
- Tiring work (both physical and mental).
- Exposure to certain irritants - music, aromas, etc.
When another, more powerful stimulus (noise, the presence of an outsider) occurs, the dreams easily dissipate.
Description of Dreams
- Dreams are selfishly colored discourses about the future. Self-centeredness is the most characteristic feature of this type of dreaming.
- There is no framework for dreams - the more unattainable our desires, the more room for imagination. Everything that we would like to achieve in real life, in the world of illusions is available. The most frequent subject of dreams is the most intimate, sometimes unrealizable in the present, desires.
- Despite the closeness of the two concepts - dreams and dreams, they have a slight difference. The first is quite realistic; its achievement, although fraught with difficulties, is still more likely. Her role is incredibly large, especially in childhood and adolescence: being a strong emotional impulse, a dream can become an important incentive to achieve the goal. Dreams may not be connected with reality, fully embodying the imagination of a person in consciousness. Many give a comparative description with dreams - this is how the expression “dreaming in reality” appeared.
