Q: I always love to dream when I sleep, I have four or five dreams every night, and I wake up in the morning and remember almost everything that happens in the dream. I heard that dreaming more means that sleep quality is poor, is it true? Why do some people rarely dream?
Dreaming and being able to recall dreams is not an indicator of sleep quality, nor can it be said that dreaming means that sleep is not good.
There are two different concepts involved here: dreaming and having a dream (the experience of having a dream when waking up).
In general, the sleep phase can be divided into two parts: non-REM sleep period with no or few dreams, and REM sleep period with dreams or multiple dreams.
Normal adults usually sleep with 4 to 6 sleep cycles per night, in other words, at least 4 to 6 dreams per night. However, not all dreams can be remembered when you wake up.
Whether you can remember the contents of a dream depends largely on the stage at which you wake up. Immediately after the REM sleep period, the awakening or micro-awakening phase is entered, and people will wake up with a dream feeling.
Dreams are to dreams as objects are to shadows. Shadows and objects do not always correspond to each other, and the same is true of dreams, which are obviously not equal to dreams.
Therefore, for ordinary people, if the dream only appears occasionally, or it is just a very ordinary dream, and you wake up without feeling any special discomfort, you don't need to be too nervous.
However, if you feel dreamy for a long time and still feel tired after waking up, it is best to consult a professional doctor.
