Why do we dream?
Why do we dream? What is the effect if we do not dream?
Dreaming is apparently necessary for our psychical health, as well as for our general well-being.
In a scientific study conducted in the ’70s at the Maimonides Dream Laboratory of the Maimonides General Hospital in Brooklyn, New York, pioneer dream researchers Dr. Montague Ullman and Dr. Stanley Krippner found that everybody averaged 30 dreams an evening.
They then tried to find out what would happen if people were deprived of dreams. They woke up a person as soon as s/he started to dream.
They could tell when a person was dreaming through the brain waves and the rapid-eye movement that indicated a dream was taking place.
After weeks of preventing subjects from dreaming, the researchers found that these people developed nervousness, irritability, depression, and other emotional and psychological problems.
The symptoms disappeared as soon as they stopped interrupting the natural dreaming process.
