Researchers assure that every sleeping person sees dreams, moreover, dreams are visited at all stages of sleep. Only here someone has bright and colored dreams, and someone has black and white dreams.
Even scientists cannot yet explain the "format" of sleep, but there are some proven assumptions.
Dream birth versions
Thus, it is believed that each person can dream of both a color and a black-and-white dream, and the brighter and richer the day passed, the brighter you can see its "reflection" in a dream.
According to another version, only people suffering from a nervous system disorder or patients with schizophrenia can see colored dreams. It is difficult to agree with this theory, because it turns out that 80% of people on planet Earth are schizophrenics …
Vivid dreams come only to those who are asleep with high intelligence. But this hypothesis was also refuted by scientists through studies conducted with various segments of the population. The intellectual level does not affect either the content of the dream or its type.
It is curious that multi-colored dreams appeared only with the advent of color cinema in life. This observation was based on the study of dreams of people of different generations. And as it turned out, young people who watch color television from birth see vivid dreams much more often than people who were born during black-and-white cinema. However, there are those who doubt the veracity of this argument, arguing that older people simply receive an order of magnitude less emotions than active youth.
There is one interesting clarification: the right hemisphere of the brain, which is actively developed in left-handers, is responsible for dreams that look like reality, that is, it is believed that dreams of such people are brighter and more realistic. Scientists say that if you want to make your dreams more memorable, you just need to develop your left hand.
Psychodiagnostics
We can confidently assert that sleep is the "second life" of every sleeping person, therefore, if you want your dreams to be brighter, more colorful and memorable, you first need to saturate everyday life with similar emotions and impressions. Because a dream is just a reflection of what you see, feel and experience every day.
If you carefully interpret your dreams, you can look deeply inside yourself. You can learn about the desires that lie in the subconscious, about your state of mind and even about physical health from your own dreams.
I would also like to note that if you constantly have the same painful and black and white dreams, you may need to urgently change something in your real life.
