The solution to the dream 'ghosts' at full moon

Going to find an explanation for why at the full moon, we often have strange dreams.

A recent British study has confirmed that the Moon has a great influence on people's sleep. During the full moon, we often have more beautiful and strange dreams.

Researcher, psychologist Richard Wiseman analyzed the results of 1,000 volunteers' dreams. Thereby, he realized that, in the full moon period, people could dream many illusions , such as riding on a dragon's back, flying everywhere or dreaming of becoming a superhero protecting the Earth. On the other hand, on weekdays, the content of dreams is quite boring like sitting all day in the office, typing computers .

Last year, a Swiss study also showed that, during the full moon, people tend to sleep harder. Sleep will be 20 minutes less than usual and not as deep. The reason for this is that the hormone levels of melatonin cause drowsiness.

Another hypothesis is also given, that humans in evolution have become very sensitive to the changes of the Moon. The deep sleep when the full moon helps people become more alert and alert than predators, because this is the time to be chosen to hunt the most.

According to experts, it does not exclude the possibility that our ancestors often hunted at this time, leading to the fact that people today have difficulty sleeping well when the moon is full.

Although Professor Wiseman does not agree with this hypothesis, Professor Wiseman acknowledges the influence of the Moon on sleep. He also conducted another test to test the effect of sound on sleep.

All 1,000 volunteers were placed next to them with an alarm clock and motion sensor. This device will play music when it detects that a dream appears before the alarm clock sounds about 40 minutes. Then, when the alarm goes off, the test participant is asked to recount the dream he or she just experienced, because people often remember the dream most recently when they wake up.

The collected results show that the sounds of birds singing, or rustling leaves create a dream about trees and flowers. Meanwhile, the cry of seagulls makes people dream of the sea. In the end, the honking and engine sound made dreams unstable.

This finding is very important because having a beautiful dream will help people be in a better mood and more excited when they wake up . This opens up a new hope for the way to treat psychological illnesses, helping people to be more relaxed and relaxed after each sleep, thus improving their health.
