Passage from legend to history or from one story to another If you start telling a story out of nowhere, you will not be understood. Judge for yourself: you showed up like that here, said that you were going to a meeting, that you and the girl seemed to be on the way and that it was more fun to go together, and suddenly began

Stories You have already prepared your speech. It is instructive and makes listeners think while spurring them to action. But there is no feeling in it, no soul, no passion that can excite people, that is, there is no “rod on which everything rests” and thanks to which - everyone knows this

It so happened that during my life I have accumulated several stories related to prophetic dreams.
My grandmother has the most terrible prophetic dreams.
Once, about 5 years ago, she dreamed of her late uncle, her mother's brother. He rang the doorbell and said, they say, let him spend the night! There, they say, there is a procession in honor of the “May Day” on the street, there are a lot of people, it’s impossible to get to the house ... “I’ll spend the night with you and go home in the morning.” Grandmother loved uncle very much, but this time she said in a dream - no, go away, I won’t let you spend the night. He was offended and, leaving, threw: "Well, okay, then I'll go to Tanka, she was always kind." And left. Everything would be fine, but over the next three months in the family of Aunt Tanya, first her husband died from a sudden illness, and then her son. If my memory serves me right, he died in an accident. Do not let the dead on the threshold.
And her second dream was connected directly with my father. Three days before the incident, she dreamed of a large hangar, all hung with bleeding carcasses of pigs and cows, and my dad was standing in it, with an ax. Three days later, my father died, apparently not sharing something with someone and opening the door without looking through the peephole. We lived separately then, and perhaps that's why I was lucky. Who knows what could have happened if I had been in the same apartment then.
And where did the ax in a dream come from, I found out much later, from my dream already.
The dream was short. At the age of 14, in a dream, I saw how the front door opens and some little girl appears on the threshold, scary, as if not from this world. I remember her vaguely, I only remembered her intentions - to enter the apartment and stay in it to live instead of me. At that moment, my father appears from behind, going up the stairs - pale, covered in blood and with an ax still in his head. Now I am afraid to remember this dream, but then I was delighted, threw myself on his neck. And he turned to this girl and said, "This is my daughter's house. Get out of here." So she left.
In the morning I told my grandmother a dream, and she grabbed her head - how could I know about the ax in my head? After all, no one ever told me, until this moment, that my father was killed with an ax. Apparently, they took care of children's perception. It turns out that he really came to stand up for me.
It should be noted that dad rarely appears in my dreams. There is a feeling that we still have some kind of connection - we have the same birthdays with him, and even on the night when he died, I did not sleep, being on the other side of the city, and cried. Sometimes I feel a burning desire to see him more often or to communicate somehow, but I understand that this, of course, will not lead to good.
Then, when I gather my thoughts, I'll tell you how he saved my mother's life a few years ago.

She woke up in the middle of the night and lay for a long time, staring tensely with sleepy eyes at the dark ceiling and not wanting to wake up to life. She desperately pulled to the surface the frames of the dream she had dreamed, ready to sink into the abyss of the subconscious, and her temples throbbed anxiously: “What should I do now?”

In the dream she was happy. She walked with Karishka along the twilight alleys of the city park. And they had a lot of fun, they played “catch-up” and, having run enough, drank soda straight from the bottle, fed lazy ducks with crumbled bun, repeated a school rhyme that did not want to learn by heart, counted the petals of a plucked chamomile in turn. They sat on the bench, dangling their legs in the air, and laughed, looking at the stars that light up in the dark sky ... At such moments, She herself became a child, and it again seemed to her that life was beautiful and that everything was still ahead. She gently hugged the fragile children's shoulders, chilled from the evening coolness, and whispered: “I love you, Baby!” And Karishka looked at Her with suddenly saddened eyes and said: “Papa has Olya.” "Why Olya? He said it was Nastya! - She thought and woke up in bewilderment: “But what about me?!”

Gradually coming to her senses, She tried to put everything on the shelves. She mentally flipped through the pages of the history of their relationship, which began almost two years ago ...

... He wrote to her on a dating site, just like that, with nothing to do. She answered, also just like that, joking and even ironic out of habit. It turned out that in their lives there are a lot of similar moments. Then they decided to meet in person. Having discarded the first reaction to each other, they began to passionately discuss the topic of love and relationships between men and women. Unexpectedly for himself, He accompanied Her to the house, finding that they live in the neighborhood. They often met and spent a lot of time together, they themselves did not notice how they had common secrets. Weeks, months passed.

That loves, She understood suddenly. Having finished one painfully passionate virtual novel, I realized that it was not the “distant and beautiful prince” that evoked feelings in Her, but He, who was always there. And it was like lightning in a clear sky, splitting Her heart into two parts, one of which She irrevocably gave to Him.

But outwardly, nothing seems to have changed. They still walked together in the park, sat side by side on a bench by the fountain or at a table in a coffee shop, and He told Her about his affairs, successes and problems. And She listened to Him, listening to every word and letting His pain pass through her heart. Looking into His eyes, She wanted to remember every line of His, every smile. She wanted to confess her feelings to Him, but did not dare, fearing to be rejected, misunderstood.

There were moments when they were so close that it seemed to her that no words were needed, and he felt the same as she did - tender, warm, all-encompassing and weightless, passionate and giving peace, natural in its depths, happiness to be near and give yourself to your loved one. But…

"We're close friends!" - He said, cooling Her heart impulses. And now she had a hard time accepting this word. "Friends…"

Their communication almost disappeared. He forgot to call her, busy with work or carried away by his next “sympathy”. And She was worried, more for Him than for herself, but she could not follow His advice to “start from scratch” ...

But one day He pulled a confession out of Her almost by force. They exchanged messages in ICQ, and suddenly He said that this could no longer continue. At that moment, for some reason, He needed to know how She treats him. Just not as a good friend or as a friend. And that He is also not indifferent to Her, but does not know how to show his feelings.

It would seem that everything became clear - reciprocity ...

Happiness? There were many more face-to-face conversations, passionate glances and kisses... But life cannot be without surprises, throwing up either serious illnesses, or separations, or difficulties with parents and children. And tempted by fellowship with other "close friends."

That day is cold and cloudy. They met at a coffee shop to talk after a long enough separation. She revised a lot within herself, decided that she could take responsibility and change something in their fate. She rejoiced at the meeting with Him, thinking that now, having sent all circumstances to hell, they could be together. Then She will give him all the tenderness that has accumulated in her for that part of the life that She left behind.

“You have always been there, you are very close to me…” She began and said that Her feelings for Him are alive, no matter how hard She tries to be just a friend. But He was silent... Her eyes grew dim, and She almost did not hear how He was talking about his new girlfriend. In love? He feels good with the Other - that was the only thing She understood from his words. With difficulty swallowing a lump of tears stuck in her throat, She exclaimed in despair: “Then tell me that you don’t love me!”

“No, I can’t… I don’t want to say that…”

Leaving the coffee shop, they walked slowly, holding each other's arm, silently breathing the frosty air. When they reached an intersection, they stopped. A few minutes of gentle hugs, a skin-burning kiss goodbye…

“I read between the lines, I understand without words, I feel it with my fingertips, without touching ... I guess the direction of your gaze, your breath on my cheek, body heat through clothes, trembling ...” She later writes in her diary.

A car came for Him and He left. To that other one?

…She rarely dreams. "Why Olya? He said it was Nastya! She wondered, remembering the details of what she had dreamed about today. Weird dream! She lay in bed for a long time, mentally flipping through the pages of her love story in her memory. And looking intensely with tearful eyes at the dark ceiling, she tried to discern in the twilight of the night the answer to the question that tormented Her: “How can I now be without ...?”

Sleep in human life is a basic and unconditional need. In a dream, the average person spends a third of his life, that is, about 25 years. The duration of a night's rest is approximately 7-8 hours, however, there are people who need 4-5 hours of sleep to fully restore their strength and maintain working capacity. But science still cannot explain the nature of dreams, it is only known that this is most likely a projection of our thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Sleep phases

To date human sleep is usually divided into five phases, which during the night can be repeated several times.

• The first phase of sleep is falling asleep. The nap does not last very long, about 5 minutes. During this phase, breathing slows down, heartbeat slows down, body temperature also goes down. The brain, in turn, continues to work actively, it reviews the information that you received during the day, corrects some thoughts and looks for answers to the questions that tormented you during wakefulness. Sleepy dreams, ideas for overcoming life's problems are possible.
• The second phase - lasts about 20 minutes. Life processes slow down, the eyeballs are motionless. During this period, brain activity decreases, sound sleep sets in.
• The third phase is deep sleep. Life processes continue to slow down. Closed human eyes slowly rotate.
• The fourth phase is a deeper non-REM sleep that lasts about 30 minutes. It is generally accepted that during this period a person grows, his immune system is restored.
• The fifth phase of sleep is considered "rapid". It is at this moment that the sleeping person can observe rapid movements of the eyeballs. During this period, breathing and heart rhythm become uneven and right now a person is able to dream.

In the process of normal full-fledged sleep, a person goes through all phases.

Why should a person sleep?

For the whole day a person experiences a very heavy load, not only physical, but also psychological, by the end of the day his body needs rest. The muscles that help the heart and blood vessels work slow down, therefore, the flow of blood to the organs decreases, so the person experiences fatigue.

A person is obliged to sleep, because he must give rest to his body, restore his strength. Also, during sleep, vital processes are normalized.

The human brain also needs rest. During wakefulness, a person receives a huge amount of information and impressions. During the night, when a person sleeps, the brain continues to work, it assimilates the information received, and also sorts it. Consequently, if a person sleeps too little, then his brain simply does not have time to do the work for which the night time is intended, and the person feels tired and depressed in the morning.

In order not to overwork your brain, you should alternate your day work, and not get hung up on one thing all day.

How is daytime sleep different from nighttime sleep?

Many cannot say for sure which is better, sleep at night and stay awake during the day, or vice versa. However, people who sleep during the day instead of at night put their body at great risk.

Specifically, at night, sleep helps the pineal gland of the brain to produce the hormone melatonin, which regulate circadian rhythms. Most production of melatonin occurs from midnight to 4 am.

Also, this hormone has antioxidant properties, that is, it is able to slow down the aging of the body, skin, improves the functioning of the digestive tract and brain, the immune system and the endocrine system, and in addition helps to fight stress.

However, a lack of melatonin can lead to early aging, obesity, colds, cardiovascular and other diseases.

The question arises: is daytime sleep necessary at all? Many doctors and experts believe that daytime sleep is very important for a person. It reduces the risk of diseases of the heart and blood vessels, is able to quickly restore a person's strength.

What is the best time of day to sleep?

Everyone knows that after eating, you feel tired and craving for sleep appears. Why is this happening? The stomach received food in order to process it, a large amount of blood and oxygen enters it, and the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain decreases, respectively, the brain slows down its work and the person wants to sleep.

Studies have shown that a person feels a desire to sleep when the body temperature drops. These periods run at night from 3 to 5 in the morning. During the day, this phenomenon is also observed from 1 to 3 hours. This time is the most suitable for daytime sleep.

Thanks to daytime sleep, a person is able to increase his mental activity and increase efficiency. Nerves calm down, mood rises. Another daytime sleep will help improve memory, enhance imagination - this will lead to the emergence of new and interesting ideas.

So do not miss the opportunity to sleep during the day. However, do not sleep too long, 30 minutes will be enough. Otherwise, instead of vigor and freshness of mind, you risk getting irritability and lethargy, and, in addition, a possible headache.

The question often arises of how much time a person needs to sleep, however, it depends on the individual and on his environment. You just need to listen to the needs of your body. Biological rhythms and clocks are individual for everyone. But in general, a healthy body needs 7-8 hours of sleep.

Dream Colors

Scientists in the course of experiments were able to establish that if a person’s dream has predominantly blue and green tones, then his life is stable, measured, and nothing bad happens in it. People whose dreams are colored in shades of red are likely to have a fever or develop some kind of disease. Black and all dark colors indicate nervous tension, overwork and, possibly, an imminent emotional breakdown.

Emotions during sleep

It has been proven that for the most part dreams leave negative emotions rather than positive ones. The most commonly experienced feeling in a dream is a feeling of anxiety. As a result, people who are the least stressed, mentally and emotionally stable, rarely remember their dreams. But a suspicious and restless person, most likely, will relive the feelings experienced at night for a long time to come.

prophetic dreams

dream catcher

Many people have often heard that there is a prophetic dream and dreams. Interesting facts about this phenomenon can be found in the specialized literature. However, this phenomenon has not yet been proven. It is believed that a single disturbing dream can be easily ignored. But if an unpleasant dream is repeated several times, has a negative meaning, awakens feelings in a person, then it is worth considering. Perhaps this is how the brain sends warning signals that a person simply does not pay attention to during daytime wakefulness.
