Increasing frequency of different dreams?

Question

Lately i have been having significantly more frequency in dreams i remember than in months past. Basically, for the last 2 or 3 weeks, i've been having about 3 or 4 dreams a week that stick with me when i wake up. That in contrast to the 1 or 2 a month i'd have before.

My diet has not changed, i sleep in the same bed. i do exercise more now that it is nice outside, but the increase in exercise started more like 6-8 weeks ago (although i am fit and have worked out my whole life). The dreams do not have an obvious common theme, nor are they necessarily bad or good. they involve different people every time, some are more anxiety filled than others.

The only odd thing is that a few days ago, i was having an anxiety laden dream and then realized i was dreaming while i was in my dream...i couldn't control anything, but i did realize i was dreaming in my dream.

Any ideas why the frequency of dreams has increased lately? i don't mind it, i like dreaming, but i'm curious.

Answer 1

Our dreams are a communication between our conscious thought and our subconscious.... dreaming more frequently could be that something lately has you emotionally challenged or not facing something you need to.

rather then look at the frequency.... try and look at the emotions of your dreams.. are there similarities?..... if not... are there physical things you are not completing?

give it a shot to re-analyze your dream... most of the time... fears or needs can play the largest roles in dreams.

good luck
