Dreaming of strange and unusual dreams since the closure began? Remember your dreams more? Well you're not alone.

Another phenomenon that occurs during the days of the Corona is that the tendency of people to dream more while staying in isolation or isolation is evident. As a result, a new hashtag has been created on Twitter called #pandemicdreams. Under this hashtag you will find stories of many people portraying extraordinary dreams they dreamed of since the beginning of the closure. For example, on March 23, an American named Sarah Schachner released "I dreamed that I was going outside and there was deep snow and I could see a duck hanging around inside it," another surfer named John Johnson wrote on April 8 about a similar dream the duck promised to keep.

Of course, these are just two examples of a widespread worldwide phenomenon in which closure produces unusual dreams in people. But if this phenomenon causes you concern, then you should know that, according to the experts, it is a completely natural phenomenon.

Dr. Meyer Carger, a Yale University expert, says in relation to these dreams, "This is the way our brains deal with the different and stressful times. Our desire to process the information makes us nightmares or a return to dreaming of more comfortable and healthy periods in our lives. It's like a situation where a person has trouble falling asleep and so he thinks of better things that put him to sleep so that's what happens to us in our dreams, "he explains.

Why do we dream?

Interestingly, although dreams are a well-known and well-known human phenomenon, there is still no definitive explanation for their role in the human soul. According to Gene Ellis, professor of psychology at Northumbria University, and director of the Sleep Institute "One of the theories says that in dreams we deal with new scenarios and situations in a safe environment. That is, we process things that might threaten us in real life in a state where the mind is in control. The brain to organize and organize memories we collected and new information that entered our system. "

Another possibility Professor Ellis points out is that "dreaming is a kind of way of organizing our experiences and feelings. Staying at home, stress from the epidemic and closure, seclusion in one place with the whole family in easy conditions. All these things that affect the mind and need to process them. "Dreams are a mechanism for coping with the situation. Whatever the dreams are, we actually experience the reality in color, voice, vision even in touch and taste," she concludes.

The reason we now remember the dreams

Another interesting question the experts face is why we now remember our dreams more. The reason, according to the experts, is breaking our sleep routine that causes sleep difficulties and changes in the agenda that make us not sleep well at night. Also, the changes in social connections, namely isolation, also stress the mind. In fact, this is a departure from the regular agenda that causes humans to have trouble sleeping and more stress feelings that lead to dreaming.

In order to minimize the phenomenon, the experts suggest not to watch screens for four hours before bed and also produce a regular agenda. This is because sleep difficulties only heighten our stress and difficulty levels and even cause depression. That's why Prof. Ellis says, "It is worth concentrating on creating a good agenda and getting good sleep, which will help us deal with reality better after the epidemic."
