反復(fù)做惡夢(mèng)怎么辦

Dreaming allows us to go on a variety of adventures that we would never experience in real life. What is funny is that instead of taking advantage of this opportunity, our brains often like to repeat dreams we've already had. This is called a recurring dream and it happens to 60-75% of adults at some point. Unfortunately, most of these dreams tend to be negative, and they often involve the dreamer being in danger (per Consciousness and Cognition).

做夢(mèng)讓我們?nèi)ソ?jīng)歷各種各樣的冒險(xiǎn)，這些是我們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)生活中永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)經(jīng)歷的。有趣的是，我們的大腦不是利用這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，而是經(jīng)常重復(fù)我們已經(jīng)做過(guò)的夢(mèng)。這被稱為反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)，60-75%的成年人都會(huì)出現(xiàn)這種情況。不幸的是，這些夢(mèng)大多都是消極的，而且經(jīng)常會(huì)讓做夢(mèng)的人處于危險(xiǎn)之中(《意識(shí)與認(rèn)知》)。

A survey conducted by AmeriSleep found that the most common recurring dreams include falling, being chased, and being back in school (isn't that a nightmare?). Some people have enjoyable recurring dreams that may include flying or going on wonderful vacations, but those tend to be few and far between. Interestingly, men are more likely to have these positive dreams than women, while women tend to beat out men when it comes to dreams of being chased or seeing creepy crawlies.

AmeriSleep的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，最常見(jiàn)的反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)包括摔倒、被人追和回到學(xué)校(這難道不是一場(chǎng)噩夢(mèng)嗎?)有些人有愉快的反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)，可能包括飛行或美妙的假期，但這些夢(mèng)往往很少。有趣的是，男性比女性更有可能做這些積極的夢(mèng)，而在夢(mèng)到被追趕或看到可怕的爬行動(dòng)物時(shí)，女性往往多于男性。

According to Healthline, recurring dreams expose our fears and the sources of stress in our lives. For example, if you dream of forgetting to study for a test, it is rooted in fear of failure, which may crop up before a date or job interview. People tend to experience recurrent dreams more often during times of stress (per Dreaming).

根據(jù)Healthline報(bào)道，反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)暴露了我們生活中的恐懼和壓力來(lái)源。例如，如果你夢(mèng)見(jiàn)要考試了卻忘記學(xué)習(xí)，那是因?yàn)楹ε率。l(fā)生在約會(huì)或面試之前。人們傾向于在壓力時(shí)期更頻繁地經(jīng)歷反復(fù)做夢(mèng)。

A distressing recurring dream may also point to unmet psychological needs, according to a 2018 study published in Motivation and Emotion. In fact, people with recurring dreams tend to have poorer mental health than those who do not. Some experts believe that in addition to highlighting daily struggles, recurring dreams may be the brain's way of processing trauma (per Sleep Foundation).

根據(jù)2018年發(fā)表在《動(dòng)機(jī)與情感》雜志上的一項(xiàng)研究，一個(gè)痛苦的反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)也可能表明心理需求未得到滿足。事實(shí)上，經(jīng)常做夢(mèng)的人往往比不做夢(mèng)的人心理健康更差。一些專家認(rèn)為，除了強(qiáng)調(diào)日常的掙扎，反復(fù)做夢(mèng)可能是大腦處理創(chuàng)傷的方式(根據(jù)睡眠基金會(huì))。

Recurring dreams often go away once their trigger is no longer present, Antonio Zadra wrote in his book Trauma and Dreams. The Sleep Foundation suggests relaxation exercises and even therapy to work out any underlying issues that may be at the root of your recurring dreams. Even just discussing and interpreting your nightmares may help put an end to them.

安東尼奧·扎德拉在他的《創(chuàng)傷與夢(mèng)》一書中寫道，一旦觸發(fā)夢(mèng)境的因素不再存在，夢(mèng)境就會(huì)消失。睡眠基金會(huì)建議進(jìn)行放松練習(xí)，甚至治療，以解決可能是你反復(fù)做夢(mèng)根源的任何潛在問(wèn)題。即使只是討論和解釋你的噩夢(mèng)也可能有助于結(jié)束噩夢(mèng)。

In the meantime, you can take advantage of these nightmares as an opportunity to lucid dream. This will involve recognizing the patterns within the nightmare, and then taking control of the dream and changing it to your liking, says Healthline.

同時(shí)，你可以利用這些噩夢(mèng)作為清醒夢(mèng)的機(jī)會(huì)。Healthline稱，識(shí)別噩夢(mèng)中的模式，然后控制夢(mèng)境，并根據(jù)你的喜好改變它。
