The strangeness of dreams

Dreams often appear in people's sleep. Having dreams of bad luck, disasters, dreams of disease.

There have been so many scientists and modern machines just to focus on discovering the mystery of dream, many theories have been mentioned about the biological meaning and purpose of the dream, but all still rather vague as the nature of the object to be addressed. And the strange thing in dreams still makes many people of real life have to think, think .

Nightmare told the truth

In 1865, US President Abraham Lincoln told his friends about a dream in which he heard the sounds of funerals from the west room in the White House. There was a corpse wrapped in a cloth with many guards standing around. Because his face was covered, when he asked, a guard answered "President". Lincoln was obsessed with the dream and a week later he was assassinated.

In 1912, some people escaped death in the famous Titanic tragedy, when they told them they dreamed that the ship would sink. The same situation happened in the accident in Aberfan, Wales, United Kingdom (rain caused coal slipping to kill 116 children and 28 adults at Pantglas Elementary School). At least 22 Britons dreamed of tragedies before.

On May 28, 1968, spiritual monk Alan Vaughan sent a letter to the dream expert Stanley Krippner, announcing that he dreamed of an Indian who shot and killed Robert Kennedy, the US presidential candidate. Then Vaughan dreamed about how to protect the victim; however, before receiving a warning, June 5 Kennedy was assassinated.

The mysterious face in the dream

In January 2006, in New York, when a female patient told her psychiatrist that a man frequently appeared in her dream. "He" gives advice on everything in life for her. However, the girl lamented that she had never met this man once in her life and proved quite scared. Then she sat and painted the portrait of this mysterious man.

Just a few days later, when another patient came to see him, he accidentally saw the portrait placed on the table, he was surprised by the man who appeared in the portrait that had repeatedly 'visited'. visit 'on his dream.

After this mysterious incident, the doctor decided to send a portrait to some of his colleagues to investigate the case. And unexpectedly, within a month, four other patients said, they also met this man while asleep. As soon as he raised his portrait, all 4 people were surprised and immediately recognized the face of the mysterious man.

Since January 2006, at least 2,000 people have acknowledged so far, the man in the portrait has repeatedly appeared in their dreams. Strangely, all of these people come from different cities everywhere in the world like: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, ​​Stockholm, Paris, New Delhi, Moskow . None of them has any relationship. They immediately recognized the man's face as he watched the portrait. There have been many surveys, looking for people with faces similar to this mysterious man, but so far no one has such a face.

Scientists are also . drowsy

Many theories have been stated about the biological meaning and purpose of dreams, but still quite vague as the nature of the object to be addressed.

The father of psychoanalysis Freud said that the dream is "regal path" that leads to unconsciousness, the determinant of human nature. Accordingly, flying in dreams shows thirst for sex; peach, apple, grape double emulsion symbol; guns, fire, bullets, sticks, male genitals solid symbols, also stoves, bottles, jars with female genitalia. Practices do not support these too subjective speculations. Statistics on students in 1958 showed that the most common in dreams is falling (84%) and being hunted (80%). Could it be that the man's unconscious desire to fall and be hunted? Dreaming to go and not going to the exam room is not an unconscious desire, but a sign of unconsciousness!

Crick (a Nobel Prize-winning physicist for DNA structure) and Mitchison are leaning on the dream hypothesis to help eliminate useless information, brain "cleaning" and saving memory for useful information.

According to Hopson and McCarley, the brain produces electricity during REM sleep to randomly stimulate different memory in the brain. And the brain arranges those random memories into logical stories and adds the necessary details to create a reasonable panorama. Thus, dreams are a self-organizing game of the brain rather than a psychological phenomenon that has its own purpose.

Prophet or just an obsession?

Whether I remember it or not, every night I still dream of dozens of dreams. And people who live up to 70 years old will have 150,000 dreams in their lifetime. With hundreds of billions of people who once lived on earth, the total dreams of humanity reached 15 million billion! In which the prophetic dreams only accounted for an extremely small percentage, indicating that they were just coincidences.

On the scientific side, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the randomness of the cosmic variations do not allow prophecy to occur in our universe. For prophecy, another universe is needed, with time going backwards from the present to the present.

In the Lincoln case, he had many loathsome people and was always in a state of intimidation. So his dream reflected the mood full of anxiety about the unrest surrounding him. During the Titanic disaster, much of the hunch was announced after the event so it was unreliable. In the Aberfan accident, residents in the area repeatedly warned of a deadly danger but the authorities did not care properly. In the case of Senator Robert Kennedy, remember that his brother, President John Kennedy was assassinated just a few years ago and the danger never left Robert when he ran for election. So if someone dreamed that he was shot, it wouldn't be strange.

Some others write that, behind the image of a mysterious man is a conspiracy or a plan of a large corporation, they may want to test a new experiment they have studied. . The face of the mysterious man is still a big question mark without an answer.

People can still "break" unwarranted arguments, but there is still no satisfactory answer to every dream.
