Dreams as Precursors of Physical and Mental Illnesses

Medical experts, through extensive research, have found that certain recurring nightmares, excluding psychological factors, can indeed serve as precursors to diseases.

From a pathological perspective, many physical and mental illnesses have inconspicuous symptoms during their latent periods. Particularly during the day when the brain is highly active and neurons are stimulated, it becomes difficult to detect subtle abnormal signals indicating potential internal disruptions.

During sleep, nightmares may indicate diseases as numerous brain cells enter a state of rest and their functional activity decreases. At this time, stimuli that affect cells during the day can trigger corresponding central cortical responses, leading to anticipatory dreams. Different diseases are associated with different dream patterns, and dreams related to the same illness are usually similar. Click the answer to learn about your concerns:
