A little bit about dreams
Dreams are images, sounds, and sensations that arise in a person's mind during sleep. They can be vivid and realistic or abstract and fuzzy. Dreams usually occur during REM sleep, when the brain is most active.
Why do we need dreams?
No.1. Physiological function
During sleep, the brain processes the events experienced during the day, which helps to learn and remember.
#2. Emotional regulation
Dreams can help a person cope with emotional experiences, providing a safe space for expressing and understanding them.
#3. Creativity
Many artists, writers, and scientists have drawn inspiration from their dreams.
#4. Symbolism
Dreams often contain symbols and metaphors that reflect a person's internal conflicts or desires. Analyzing dreams can help you better understand your subconscious thoughts and feelings.
Why should a child write down dreams
This can be a useful practice, and here are the reasons why:
Memory development
Keeping a regular dream diary improves your ability to remember.
Creative expression
Dreams are often full of unusual images that can inspire a child to be creative — drawing, telling stories, or creating their own projects.
Understanding emotions
Dreams often reflect internal conflicts and unresolved issues, so writing them down helps the child to better understand their own emotions and experiences.
Developing important skills
Keeping a dream diary helps develop writing skills and the ability to formulate thoughts on paper.
Problem Solving Tool
Sometimes dreams can offer innovative solutions to real problems a child faces in life.
Improved sleep quality
The realization that you will be able to record your dreams in the morning reduces anxiety before bedtime and improves its quality.
The habit of self-reflection
Recording dreams teaches a child to analyze thoughts and feelings, which contributes to the development of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
