Wonderland dreams

Since ancient times, people are surrounded by an aura of mystery dreams, believing that they are sent to a higher power, and sought to interpret the dreams of the night the future. However, progress does not stand still, and many superstitions associated with dreams,

scientists could now be explained by brain research and methods of genetics. And with most of the conclusions they came to, according to Russian Orthodox Church.

Divination Joseph

About the interpretation of dreams there are many references in the Old Testament. In the history of the brothers sold into Egyptian slavery of Joseph prophetic dreams in general play a special role, and he is both a "dreamer" and as an interpreter of dreams.

The dreams of the biblical righteous in plant images (sheaves associated brothers bow sheaf associated Joseph), the astral (sun, moon and 11 stars - symbol of the father, mother and brothers - worship Joseph) transparently drawn forthcoming championship Joseph in the family . In the prison where Joseph gets slandered, his "inmates" are two notable prisoner - butler and baker of Pharaoh, and he interprets their dreams.

The butlers, who saw in a dream a vine with three branches, of which he squeezed the juice into the cup of Pharaoh, Joseph predicts that in three days he would be restored to his office, and asked him to tell Pharaoh about his innocence. Baker, who dreamed that on his head three baskets of bread dishes for Pharaoh, but the birds of their torn to pieces, Joseph predicts that in three days he would be executed, and the flesh of his rasklyuyut birds. Both predictions come true, but rehabilitated butler forgot Joseph's transfer request.

Two years later Pharaoh had a dream about seven fat cows devoured seven skinny cows, and dream about the seven good spikelets that devoured seven blasted with spikelets. The priests and soothsayers of Egypt can not interpret them. Then finally, the cupbearer remembers Joseph prisoner. Getting divination, he stresses: "It is not mine; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace. "(Gen. 41, 16).

After hearing the two dreams, he argues that the next seven years will be particularly fertile for Egypt, and to be followed by seven years of severe crop failure. Auspex Joseph completely fulfilled, and the Pharaoh gave him extraordinary powers, putting "over all the land of Egypt." (Gen. 41, 41) - so great was in the old belief in prophetic dreams and their interpreters.

Blending dreams and waking

The first attempts to explore the dreams from a scientific point of view have been taken at the beginning of the XX century. The largest contribution to this, no doubt, belong to the German philosopher and psychiatrist Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. Last I try to interpret dreams, guided by his famous theory of sexual desire.

According to him, most dreams can be explained by the secret sexual desires, complexes, human attempts to suppress its illicit public morality erotic fantasies. However, most scientists considered Freud's one-sided approach, pointing out that the dream does not only sexual desire but also many other factors. To them, it is quite obvious are the physical and mental state of sleep.

The veil over the nature of dreams opened a crack, when the opportunity to do an electroencephalogram - in other words, to record the natural electrical activity of the brain with the help of the head placed on the surface of the electrode.

Experts know that the dream of man is not uniform: it is divided into two phases - rapid eye movement sleep and slow. Dreaming visit asleep in REM sleep, which, as it is divided into parts and alternates with the phase of REM sleep. Thus, the dream is interrupted the process, it consists of small passages interspersed complete oblivion. And only after waking human brain collects dreamed pictures together.

Almost all researchers agree that we are not able to accurately reproduce the content of their dreams. The fact is that in the moment of awakening the human brain through the organs of hearing and vision begins to perceive the world around us - and the result is a dream mixes with reality. Working in another room TV, talk, noise coming from the street, may interfere with intricately into the fabric of a dream.

Man sometimes thinks with absolute certainty that he had a dream, but in fact some parts already in reality he conjectures. Another, no less important fact is that in the dream quite differently perceived time and space broken the causal relationships.

The man is awake, aims to build on the content of the laws of the real world. He instinctively nonsense smoothes and corrects inconsistencies, urging dreamed pictures under the laws of formal logic and distorting thus the plot of sleep. Finally, we must bear in mind the tendency of people to self-suggestion.

For example, a person survives the death of a loved one, dreams of an obscure way, to hear his voice and inspires himself that it was just late. During the study, more than 60 percent of those surveyed, after a detailed analysis of their dreams were forced to admit that many fragments of dreams they have become clear only after careful consideration and, therefore, guessing.

Thus, the researchers concluded that the interpretation of dreams can not be considered accurate because the person clearly does not remember what he had seen.

Recent studies have shown that the human sleep adversely affects the radiation coming from computers and cell phones.

Many people today have got a habit to put a mobile phone next to the bed or under the pillow, using it as an alarm clock. However, the phone is constantly connected to the transmitter and the radiation coming from him even when it does not say. Experiments have shown that radiation of cellular telephones, computers and other precision devices affect REM sleep.

It can not only make it distorted, but does deprive a person of the need for rest phase, which often leads to neuropsychiatric disorders. The most categorical researchers generally advised to remove the cell phones of the room where you sleep.

Those who sleeps until recently passed the most magnificent natural view - sunrise. Just imagine: the darkness of the night is gradually replaced by light of dawn, the edge of the sky is filled with all shades of scarlet, everything is painted in vibrant, bright colors, which are only in the early morning ...

Breakfast - a head.

Breakfast early in the morning does not look like a snack on the run. A cup of freshly brewed coffee, a newspaper or a book, silence, peace of mind - all this pales in comparison with the hasty chewing a sandwich and a sip of instant coffee (brew some do not have time!). In addition, nutritionists have long proved that forced a missed breakfast "halloo to one another" uncontrollable bouts of desire to eat all the most harmful for the body: sweet buns, fast food, fatty food, etc.

It is better to go to bed early, even if you did not want to sleep. Read a little, and you will not notice as fall asleep.

Another trick for zasonya: Service place as far away from the bed, to avoid the temptation to "kill" him and go back to sleep.

The farther the mobile will lie on your bed, the more effort you'll need to find him asleep. As long as you get out from under the blanket and look for mobile, you will have time to wake up, and willy-nilly have to get up.

Get out of the bedroom immediately after turn off the alarm, do not let yourself again to get under a warm blanket. Force yourself to get to the bathroom, wash, take a shower. After 5-10 minutes you will feel the strength to start a new day.
