There are situations when a person ceases to be interested in the world around him, for him they lose the brightness of paint. In order to fill the void that has arisen in sensations in this state, one's own fantasy unfolds. In such a case, dreaming is a special process that takes place in the waking state (as opposed to dreams). A person imagines the resolution of any life situation in the form of a result, which looks in his imagination as a joyful, long-awaited and tempting finale. It can clearly trace the connection with the most secret needs and unfulfilled desires.
When a dream comes, can it 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 reserve of vitality is different for everyone, and someone may not be able to cope with difficult stages of life. When memory and perception are overstrained, fantasy, as a rule, does not participate in the work of these functions. Dreaming is an independent, autonomous process. Sometimes it helps to cope with stress, gives hope. Dreaming in psychology is not a pathological process. Unlike hallucinations, a person can always accurately track reality, without confusing it with illusoryfabrications.
Factors that provoke dreams
- Moments of peace, good-natured state of mind.
- Critical situations when it is not possible to find a way out.
- Tiring work (both physical and mental).
- Exposure to certain stimuli - music, scents, etc.
When another, stronger stimulus occurs (noise, the presence of an outsider), dreams are easily dispelled.
Dream Feature
- Dream is selfishly colored talk about the future. Egocentrism is the most characteristic feature of this kind of daydreaming.
- There are no limits for dreams - the more unattainable our desires, the more room for imagination. Everything that we would like to achieve in real life is available in the world of illusions. The most intimate, sometimes unrealizable in the present, desires become the most frequent subject of dreams.
