About the nightmare, it is the legendary ghost press

Nightmare: Folk call ghost pressing.

In fact, this phenomenon is very common. For example, we can't fully punch our fists when we wake up; Many people have to slow down for a few more minutes after waking up, which is the reason why the central nervous system is not working synchronously.

Lying on your back, with a thick cover or hands on your chest, excessive nervousness during the day, and overeating are all triggers for nightmares. If the listener is attentive, they will find that those who have experienced "ghost press" are all lying on their backs, and if they sleep on their side and avoid the above triggers, nightmares will not occur.

Generally speaking, when you are too stressed, too anxious, nervous, extremely tired, insomnia, lack of sleep, or have jet lag, your sleep will enter the rapid eye movement (dream phase) early, and sleep paralysis will occur. This can happen to people of any age, mostly during adolescence and rarely in a row. Unless it happens frequently and you need to seek help from a sleep physician, you should not be overly concerned as long as you are aware of the symptoms.

Nightmares may be said to be a normal psychological phenomenon, which has nothing to do with ghosts, and it is usually more likely to occur in situations of high stress, excessive fatigue, irregular work and rest, insomnia, and anxiety.

Science has shown that nightmares are caused by transient cerebral ischemia during sleep, and when transient cerebral ischemia occurs during the day, it will produce terrible symptoms of vertigo, palpitations, chest pressure, dark eyes, tinnitus and various neurological disorders.

Nightmares are also partly caused by improper sleeping positions, such as putting your hands on your chest and pressing them against your heart while sleeping, and unconsciously feeling difficult to breathe, forming nightmares. Sleeping on your back and sleeping on your back can also cause nightmares. Therefore, the sleeping position when sleeping is important.

There are also people who have nightmares that are overstressed, generally everyone will encounter nightmares in their lives, don't be afraid, these are normal situations. However, if you often have nightmares, then you should pay attention, it may be a mental illness and it is best to consult a psychologist or psychologist.

Mainly due to the role of mental factors. Listen to nervous and exciting stories before going to bed, watch nervous and thrilling movies, or use improper education to lull children to sleep in a threatening way. In addition, the air in the bedroom is dirty and overheated; Bedding is too thick and the chest is compressed; Nasopharyngeal disease causes poor airway ventilation; A feeling of bloating stomach caused by a full dinner, and paroxysmal hypoglycemia.

Nightmares feel bad, awake but unable to make sounds, unable to move limbs, like a soul attached to a corpse. Not only that, but at this time, the brain will be eager to fall asleep, and the person will fall asleep irresistibly, and the eyes will slowly darken, and the consciousness will be blurred. But at this time, out of the instinct of longing for consciousness and the fear of nightmares, people try to get rid of the nightmare and wake up immediately, but because they can't move, they can't get up.

At this time, someone will touch you or call you by name, and you will wake up immediately.

When a person is sleeping, the brain is dormant and dreams halfway through. Many people know that when sleeping, the brain alternates between deep sleep and light sleep. When the brain sleeps lightly, people dream; When you are in deep sleep, you are completely unconscious, and you feel like you are in the deep sea where there is no light.

Normally, people wake up from light sleep, but when you're unfortunate enough to wake up from a deep sleep, the likelihood of a nightmare is high. At this time, if you wake up and can't move, it's because the center in your brain that is responsible for receiving information has woken up, and the center responsible for movement is still asleep, and then you can only blink and breathe, but you can't move, and you can't even bite your tongue to wake yourself up. The explanation for nightmares is as simple as that, and it is actually no different from a stroke patient.

Because a part of the brain is still asleep, and the part that wakes up continues to fall asleep under the influence, there will be irresistible feelings. In this half-dreaming and half-waking process, everything that the human brain thinks at this time is very easy to project into hallucinations, which combine with the information transmitted by the retina and transmit to the human signal processing center. Because of the high degree of truth, even the brain is often deceived.

Now that you know about nightmares, I hope that you don't feel too much fear of them, and don't have any shadows in your hearts because of the hallucinations that occurred during nightmares in the past. The reason why I know so much is because there are many such experiences, most of which are related to irregular sleep, hehe. Also, because I hate the feeling of nightmares, I have to find ways to wake myself up when nightmares happen.

It's not easy to do this, so I'll tell you some ways to prevent nightmares.

The main thing is to develop a healthy daily routine, and also to drink less water before going to bed, and don't force yourself when you don't want to sleep. It is possible to have nightmares when you fall asleep, but it seems that the chance of hallucinations is relatively low.

When you have a nightmare, there are several ways to wake yourself up. It's almost impossible to move your hands and feet during nightmares, but try wiggling your head. I've now practiced to the point where I can shake my head 90 degrees and move my limbs slightly.

Also, don't sleep there after waking yourself up, as there is a high chance of having another nightmare. It's best to turn on the lights and get up immediately, drink some water, sit down, and wait until your mind clears up before going back to sleep.

This is because some areas of the brain responsible for your senses are still excited. So, when the rest of your brain starts sleeping, they have partial insomnia. Such results are actually quite common.

Everyone has had a similar experience. What you feel is also a reaction to something real in your brain, but because the brain's ability to work together has decreased, the distortion is severe. That's why people think it's a ghost pressing the bed.

If it is long-term and recurrent, then it is better to see a doctor. But you can rest assured that it is rarely a physical pathology. It is usually caused by stress, excitement or other everyday factors.

Believe it or not, as a kid I used to take the initiative to guide myself into nightmares. I think it's amazing that it feels like it's awake but not awake, and it's not real.

Hello, dreams are a normal physiological phenomenon, dreaming and deep sleep.

There is a close relationship between short periods, insufficient sleep depth, and low sleep quality, and polydreaming is not an increase in the number of dreams, but an increase in the number of memories of dreams. "Dreaming all night" is indeed self-feeling, and it is by no means a functional state that causes the dream to feel different, and cannot accurately reflect objective facts. For example, if you feel tired, your body and brain are well rested, and you will feel energetic after washing, so you don't need to worry too much about this situation.

However, if you have insomnia because of dreams, then you need to pay attention to the need to relax your mind, do not pay too much attention to dreaming, between half an hour and 1 hour before going to bed, do not think about problems or read books, etc., should do appropriate physical activities (such as walking), and avoid nervous mental activities.

It is advisable to go to the hospital to see a psychologist.
