Dreams ... It’s hard to come up with something as mysterious and inexplicable. Many try to solve their dreams by turning to clairvoyants, fortune tellers or reading dream books. But sometimes a person suddenly realizes that he sees something unusual. Why do you have colorful dreams? What does it mean?
Opinions of scientists
Previously it was believed that only patients with schizophrenia are able to see dreams in colors. To date, studies have proven the inconsistency of this statement. Yes, there is such a fact that schizophrenics are 20 times more likely to see color dreams. But there are quite normal people who note such a feature in themselves.
So who dreams of color dreams? Some researchers and scientists believe that television and photography have influenced dream perception. After all, at the very beginning they were black and white. So, according to researchers, people who lived at the beginning of the 20th century often had just such dreams.
Scientists studying sleep processes (somnologists) believe that a person perceives only images that he sees at night. But he does not pay attention to the color and details of the dream . Upon transition to wakefulness, a person begins to remember everything and subconsciously thinks out some images, emotions and even paints pictures. But this is not always the case.
Why do you have colorful dreams?
There is one version that is more believable and able to answer this question. The more emotions a person has experienced lately, the more intense will be the color of night vision.
Even in ancient times, King Solomon, who was distinguished by wisdom, said that a person sees dreams from an excess of worries. This means that the brain, loaded with troubles and problems, produces more complex images at night. Including color. But the paradox is that if by the same cares a person is exhausted and very tired, then dreams will be faded or completely without colors.
Specialist research
If you ask American scientists who have colored dreams, they will answer that to the intellectuals. In 2012, a survey conducted by researchers from the United States showed that most of the two thousand respondents do not remember at all whether they see something at night. Those individuals who passed intelligence tests noticed frequent vivid, colorful dreams. According to the survey, such night visions are inherent in approximately twenty percent of the population.
By the way, color dreams are far from always frightening, sometimes they are more pleasant than black and white.
Russian scientists also conducted research in the form of surveys for such dreams. They can tell whether color dreams are for example to people aged. It is noted that young people see painted pictures at night much more often. The older a person, the less often he visits those same colorful dreams.
In the film "Mary Poppins, Goodbye" there is one song on this topic (maybe it will answer the question who dreams of color dreams). There are words that such night visions visit us in childhood, and when we grow up, we rarely receive this gift. Indeed, according to research by Russian scientists, the brain gives people over fifty such gifts only in twenty percent of cases. And in youth, on the contrary, people rarely dream black and white. Apparently, this fact is influenced by the fact that over the years a person who has learned a lot over his life ceases to experience such strong emotions and impressions as in his youth. This is reflected in dreams and their color.
Interesting about dreams
Whether or not a person remembers what he saw at night in the morning is not important. In any case, each of us sees several dreams during the rest period.
The snoring person is in the deep phase of this state and he does not see anything.
Waking up in the morning, after five to ten minutes, we forget the nightly images.
Often, when a person is resting, his brain tries to solve daytime problems and worries. So, everyone knows the fact that Mendeleev saw a table of elements, named in his honor, in a dream. Here are those who have colorful dreams - talented and inquisitive. And this is not the only case when people managed to get information at night, which later became a discovery or a work of art.
It is strange that in our time of progress and high technology, the question of why color dreams dream is constantly open. There are only assumptions and studies in the form of surveys. But no one can give a clear answer. Yes and whether it is necessary? If you have colorful, pleasant dreams, you should not find out why. Enjoy night visions. You can even record them. Suddenly one day you will also see something out of the ordinary and subsequently turn into a very important discovery. Sweet Dreams!
