Why do we dream when he never has in his whole life?

Hello,

Dreams are a natural part of our sleep, and there's no definitive explanation for how they're formed, although there are some widely accepted theories.

First, dreams might be linked to brain activity during rapid eye movement sleep (REM) and light sleep. During this stage, brain cells are more active, which could be why we dream.

Second, dreams might also be a reflection of the memories and emotions from our daily lives. During sleep, the brain may replay this information and present it in the form of dreams.

Finally, some scientists think dreams might be part of our adaptation and learning process. They say dreams can help us understand the world better and deal with complex problems.

As for why some people never dream, it might have to do with how their brains work. Some people may not experience the REM stage, or their REM stage might be a smaller part of their sleep cycle, so they don't dream.

On top of that, some people's brains just aren't wired to recall and emotionally replay, so they don't have dreams.

It's important to remember that our current understanding of dreams and dreamless experiences is still based on theories and speculation. To gain a deeper insight into these two phenomena, we need to conduct further research.

Hello, question asker! My name is June Lai Feng.

It's not common for people to have dreams like that. Dreaming is a normal physiological phenomenon that everyone experiences.

However, it is possible that some people may have fewer dreams or may not remember having them due to poor sleep quality or other reasons. You might consider asking how his sleep is.

Perhaps you are wondering why we dream.

Dreams are a fascinating phenomenon that can offer insights into our inner world and emotional state. Sometimes, our dreams may reflect deeper emotions such as fear, anxiety, and desires.

It is still unclear what causes dreams. However, scientists have put forward a few possible explanations:

1. Information processing: During sleep, the brain is thought to process the information it received during the day and store it in memory. It is possible that dreaming may be a manifestation of this processing.

2. Emotion regulation: It is possible that dreaming may be a manifestation of the brain's attempts to regulate emotions. For example, when we experience negative emotions during the day, it is plausible that dreaming may be the brain's attempt to relieve these emotions.

It is thought that dreams can help us to express and process subconscious emotions and conflicts, thereby reducing psychological stress.

3. Physiological needs: It is possible that dreaming is a manifestation of the brain's attempts to satisfy physiological needs. For example, when we need to replenish our energy during sleep, it is conceivable that dreaming may be the brain's attempt to remind us to eat.

4. Evolutionary adaptation: It is possible that dreaming may be an adaptation mechanism that the brain developed during evolution. For example, it could be that dreaming helps us better cope with dangers and threats during sleep.

I'm curious to know your thoughts on how dreams are formed.

The production of dreams is a very complex process that is not yet fully understood. However, some studies have indicated that dreams may be related to brain activity and memory.

Some studies have indicated that dreams may be generated when the brain processes and organizes the information it receives during the day. During sleep, the brain may reactivate and process this information, which could result in dreams.

It is also thought that dreams may be related to emotions and memories in the brain. For example, dreams may reflect our emotional state, past experiences, or future expectations.

To summarize, the production of dreams is a complex process that is not yet fully understood. However, some studies have indicated that dreams may be related to brain activity and memory.

I hope the above information is helpful to you. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.

Hello! I'll give you a hug.

People have been studying dreams for a long time.

The Duke of Zhou interpreted dreams in China during the Zhou Dynasty. He also appeared in Confucius' dreams.

Dreams are the fulfillment of unfulfilled wishes, according to Freud.

Everyone dreams. Some people remember their dreams, some don't. Some remember a lot, others only fragments.

If your friend says he's never had a dream since childhood, it's likely he never has.

People have different ideas about whether dreams can be remembered.

If you're in REM sleep and you're woken up, you'll remember dreaming.

If you wake up during slow-wave sleep, you remember less.

People who remember their dreams have a more active information processing center in the brain called the temporo-parietal junction. They also wake up twice as often during sleep. When asleep and awake, their brains respond more strongly to auditory stimuli. People who can remember their dreams have stronger spontaneous activity in the medial prefrontal cortex and temporo-parietal junction.

People have four to seven dreams a night, but when they wake up, they forget most of them. After ten minutes, 90% of the plot is gone. This is because of the sleep cycle. Dreams may also be too boring or lack logic. The hippocampus, which stores memories while asleep, also falls asleep. It is related to the acetylcholine and norepinephrine secreted by the brain.

Our brain decides what we remember in our dreams.

Fourth, forgetting dreams also avoids psychological trauma. Freud said that dreams fulfill repressed desires.

If the dream is too emotional or if it hides a trauma, the brain will resist the truth and the person will choose to forget.

If your friend has never had a dream since childhood, he might not remember or have chosen to forget. If this bothers him, he can talk to a counselor.

If you're just curious, don't worry about it.

I'm a Buddhist and a pessimist, a sometimes helpful counselor, and I love you.

Good morning, My name is Jiang 61, and I am happy to be able to answer your question.

First of all, thank you for trusting us with your question and for being willing to get an answer. You ask, "Why do we dream when a friend of mine has never dreamed since childhood?"

"I have some thoughts on your question, and I'd be happy to discuss them with you.

1. Introduction

1⃣️, Friend's Introduction

In the course of chatting with a friend, you learned that one of your friends had never dreamed since childhood.

During the conversation, you are surprised to discover that one of your friends has never dreamed since childhood. You find this somewhat unusual.

2⃣️, Question

You inquire, "He's curious about why we dream, and I'm curious too, about why he never dreams. Could you possibly enlighten me as to what it's like to have a dream?"

You and your friend are both curious about why you dream and he never does. You are even more curious to know what the formation of dreams is like, if you don't mind my asking.

2. Explanation:

1. Dream

It is generally accepted that dreams are a subjective experience of an individual, and are images, sounds, thoughts or feelings that a person produces while asleep, usually involuntarily. The causes of dreaming are thought to be both physiological and psychological.

It would be fair to describe this as a physiological phenomenon.

It is thought that dreaming is a physiological phenomenon that is related to rapid eye movement sleep. Rapid eye movement is a light sleep state that occurs during the later stages of sleep. It is characterised by rapid horizontal eye movements, stimulation of the brainstem, increased breathing and heartbeat, and temporary limb paralysis.

It is also worth noting that dreams can occur during other sleep periods, although this is relatively rare. For example, the falling asleep state that occurs when entering deep sleep is thought to be related to dreaming.

From a psychological perspective, dreams can be understood as a form of mental activity that occurs during sleep. This activity may be influenced by various objective factors, such as the stimulation of the brain, which is not always conscious during sleep.

From a psychological perspective, dreams can be seen as a gateway into the unconscious mind. Many psychologists believe that dreams are simply a form of mental activity that occurs during sleep. They suggest that the mental processes involved in dreams reflect the functioning of the human brain in a similar way to conscious mental activity.

It may be suggested that the bizarre dreams in a dream are caused by the illusions caused by the stimulation of various objective things when a person's sleeping brain is not conscious.

2⃣️, consciousness

In our daily lives, it could be said that the key factors in the choices and actions we make are guided and determined by our conscious and subconscious minds. Using the iceberg theory,

I wonder if we might consider the concept of consciousness.

It might be said that consciousness is a collective noun that includes a variety of concepts. It could be defined as a person's comprehensive awareness and understanding of their own physical and mental state and the changes in people, things, and objects in their environment, using mental activities such as sensation, perception, thinking, and memory.

I wonder if we might consider the concept of the subconscious.

The term "subconscious" is used in psychology to describe the part of our mental activity that we are not aware of at the conscious level. It is the process of mental activity that has occurred but has not reached the state of consciousness.

3⃣, Dreaming

The phenomenon of dreaming

The questioner inquires as to the reason behind the phenomenon of dreaming. According to the theory of the psychologist Sigmund Freud, dreams are often a manifestation of thoughts that have not been fulfilled during the day, due to various reasons, and are suppressed in the subconscious.

Once you enter a state of sleep or relaxation, it is thought that these desires that were suppressed during the day will avoid the checking function of the subconscious mind and surface to the conscious level, expressing themselves in various images. This is how dreams are formed. It is also the reason why we say, "What you think about during the day, you will dream about at night."

It could be said that dreams are a substitute for human desires. They may be the main way to release repression, and in the form of fantasy, they allow us to experience the instinctual satisfaction of such coveted desires.

If you don't dream,

You also mentioned why your friend has never dreamed since childhood. There are, in fact, two possible explanations for this.

From a psychological perspective, your friend displays admirable qualities. He maintains emotional stability during the day and his desires are met in a timely manner. Given that there are no repressed desires or pressures in his subconscious, when he is relaxed in sleep, there are no desires in his subconscious that can escape and jump out, prompting him to satisfy them.

From a scientific perspective, it is understood that dreaming is a universal experience. An individual who does not dream may still be in good physical and mental health, with an adequate amount of deep sleep. During deep sleep, dreams are not typically experienced, and occasional dreams may occur during shallow sleep. However, these dreams may not be remembered or recalled.

3. The significance of dreaming

1⃣️, Understanding dreams

It is widely acknowledged that dreaming is a normal physiological and psychological phenomenon. While there is no harm in dreaming, it can also serve as a reminder that there may be unfulfilled wishes or stress.

2⃣️, Meaning

It may be said that dreams serve as a substitute for human desires, and thus represent a primary avenue for the release of repression. By experiencing this kind of dream-like instinctual satisfaction in a fantasy form, we may be able to identify the underlying desire that is hidden in the subconscious through dreams. This could potentially provide a pathway to finding solutions to repressed and unsatisfied desires in reality, as well as offering a means to resolve personal issues and promote physical and mental health.

If you find yourself dreaming again, try not to be surprised. It's simply a form of mental activity that serves as a reminder to pay attention to any unfulfilled desires you may have. It's a gentle suggestion to satisfy them.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish the original poster a happy life!

Hello, I'm Jokerev. Let me be clear: it is relatively rare for someone to have never had a dream. However, there are indeed some people who claim that they never dream.

This is likely due to individual differences, such as variations in REM sleep characteristics (rapid eye movement sleep stage) or the fact that they cannot recall their dreams. In fact, most people have dreams during REM sleep, but they simply forget them after waking up.

The current scientific consensus is that dreams are formed by the unconscious processing and reorganizing of daily experiences, emotions, and memories by the brain during sleep. During REM sleep, brain activity is active, similar to the waking state, which is why vivid, symbolic, and even surreal dream content can occur.

Dreams are the brain's "night-time cinema," combining our personal experiences, inner feelings, wishes, fears, and the minutiae of everyday life. From a philosophical perspective, dreams reflect our subconscious needs, conflicts, or growth—they're a unique window on self-exploration.

Everyone's brain functions differently. No two leaves in the world are exactly the same. Everyone's experience of dreams will also be different. There is no need for your friend to be surprised or worried. He just has an inner world that is different from most people.

If he wants to know more, he can try some exercises that will help him remember his dreams. Or he can ask his doctor to help him understand his own sleep patterns better.
