People may mutter muffled during sleep, or they can speak quite legibly; in any case, the fact remains. This area is activated at the moment when the deep phase of slow sleep flows into the phase of dynamic sleep. Under normal conditions, a person suffers a slow and natural transition of the phases of sleep, but for unclear reasons, an abnormal jump in brain excitation occurs and people begin to speak in a dream.
During sleep, a person can speak quite distinctly long monologues, as well as dialogues with some imaginary interlocutor. Delta-sleep - is the deepest phase of sleep, at this time it is very difficult to wake a sleeping person. The conversation in this phase looks like an illegible, sometimes inarticulate muttering. Not every person speaks in a dream, according to statistics there are 3-5%, among children this number is much higher.
Why do children talk in a dream?
Psychologists who dream, argue that in conversations in a dream in children they see nothing dangerous. This fact suggests that the physiology of sleep in a child is still being formed and small deviations are quite normal. Scientists psychologists also note that more often than others sleepwalking and talking in a dream are observed in rapidly tired and emotional children. Frequent manifestations of such phenomena occur in periods accompanied by stress.After 14 years, the number of children speaking in a dream begins to decline rapidly, as do children with sleepwalking.
Causes
Talking in a dream is a normal occurrence. Throughout the night, a sleeping cortex functions in the cerebral cortex, as well as the cells that are responsible for speech function. In this regard, for the whole night of sleep, a person does not lie motionless, but turns over onto the other side, changes the facial expressions and can speak. But if people often talk asleep, there are several explanations for this:
- During the day, a person experiences all kinds of stresses, various acute emotions, vivid impressions, as well as shock of varying degrees, which can cause night mumble;
- The unformed nervous system that perceives all the events of the day is 2 times brighter, whether it is positive or negative emotions. That is why children talk more often than adults.
- When children just start talking, their parents can notice how babies move their lips in a dream, or even try to make some kind of sounds. Children who start school or study a foreign language on their own often repeat new phrases in a dream. This is how the young brain reacts to new knowledge acquired.
- People with an excitable nervous system are especially emotional and impulsive. They do not need too strong impressions, just watching an action movie before going to bed and they are already talking in a dream.
Talking in a dream is not always the norm
Rarely, but it still happens that talking in a dream is the cause of disease or pathology.Therefore, it is necessary to determine the reason why an adult or a child is talking in a dream. It is worth paying attention if:
- A person behaves impulsively: shouts, swears, sees a nightmare;
- Gritting his teeth;
- He wakes up for a long time, does not immediately recover;
- Talking in a dream, a person suffocates, sweats or blushes;
- Pacing the bedroom;
Some experts say that people talking in a dream are prone to aggression. An adult is practically unable to throw out negative emotions in everyday life. And aggression is manifested in this way, in conversations in a dream. This case can be recorded by the sharp and emotional speech of a sleeping person.
In most cases, talking to a person of any age in a dream is normal. The reason for these conversations, both in children and in adults, can be received emotions during the day: watching action films, learning new languages, etc.
