Psychology of dreams


In the past dreams were considered as God's revelation, therefore they were explained only by priests.
Nowadays it is said that dreams are one of the most mysterious process in human brain.Still today mechanism of dreams creating is not clear.Researches from all over the world present various typs of hypotheses,but it is difficult to explain everything just in labaratory.Ussualy new hipothesis is denyed by new examples of dreams.However psychologists state that dreams are related with personal human experience.The most dreams are affected by events,facts,information from the past.Of course it is good explanation,but on the other hand it can't involve other very interesting and mysterous dream's creating mechanism.Also dreams are affected by what is happening inside our organisms: it is digest, temperature,state of health and so on.There are two typess of dreams as well.One dreams can be explained by person who dream them,because they can be quite logical,with details from his true life.But other type of dreams are unaccountable even for a dreamer.They ussualy are influenced by physiological and other details from our health state.One people pay attention to everything what they are dreaming-they buy dream's books, but other just forget them very quickly.The fact is that we all dream.It doesn't matter if we remember or not.It depends when and how we wake up,because there are several different stages of sleeping and dreaming.
It is said that creating diary of dreams is also very interesting thing,because we can forecast our future events,but i think it is not great idea.
Now we all know that dreams comes from our unconscious minds and sometimes they are just a chaos of thousand of our minds.So we shouldn't make serious desicions about them.

About phobias

A phobia is an irritational fear of certain situations,objects,activities or even persons.Today there are more than 530 names of phobias on a list.
I found information about several very interesting or even silly phobias.One of them is clothing phobia,which is called vestiphobia.Like all other fears it is caused by yhe unconscious minds.Those who have this phobia probably in their past had an event linking clothing and emotional trauma.People always thought:'I fell terrible clothing like this,with these clothes i can get to the same situation,without these clothes i can fell safe...'Symptoms are quite similar to ather fears as well: breathlessness, sweating, dry mouth,inhability to speak clearly, anxiety attacks, or even fear of dying!
One more phobia which is quite popular is called brontophobia known as astrophobia or fear of lightening and thunder.It especially afects children.Those people ussualy hate summer.They feel safe when winter months are at the doorsteph.People ussualy change TV channels when it is review about weather forecast.Persons with this fear are extra vigilant.
The last phobia which is very interesting for me is ailurophobia or fear of cats.napaleon Bonapart, who was emperor of France suffered from it as well.But this fear is controversial because ones fear of real cats,but others fear not a physical contact,such as bites and scrathes,but they have a superstition about unlucky cats like black cats and so on.
Fortunately nowadays there are many ways how to deal with this problem.Psychologists can offer to you Cognitive Behavior Therapy:this consist of exposing you to the very thing you are afraid of.While this method claims success it involves a great deal of mental pain.It also require frequent therapy sessions.Another ways are Exposure therapy, talking therapy and even various courses.
It looks that everyone of us can have many fears, but we shouldn't let them to destroy our lives..
