When someone is dreaming of the difference between man and woman? If we stop to think when we are awake in the dreams or illusions we have, it is true that some of those dreams are different in men and women, although there are also some common dreams such as success and happiness. But we do not want to analyze what happens on a day -to -day basis, but at night. Do men and women dream the same? We reveal the secret with the help of our Dream Dictionary. Attention!
Living as a couple gives you to make a small -scale experiment about the different dreams that we have women and men. What does your partner dream? Assuming he remembers it, of course. And there we find one of the main differences: women remember dreams more easily than men. And, according to a study on dreams and nightmares by Jesús Navarro Egea for the International Journal of Developmental and Educational Psychology, they have more nightmares than them.
According to this study, women’s nightmares are distressing and the most frequent contain a negative message of suffocation or loss or death of friends and family. Women’s nightmares go hand in hand with a great emotional burden that usually accompanies them for the rest of the day. However, men have more dreams related to violence, even if they do not consider it a nightmare. Biological issue or cultural issue? We assume that a little of both.
It is not that women have more dreams with flowers and men with car accidents, the subconscious has not assumed the inequality of roles among the genres. Most of the nights we dream about what worries us or that we like and there can influence the sociocultural context and gender differences.
In any case, there may be a greater amount of typically masculine dreams in which violence, blood or fights appear. And it is not that they have no other types of dreams in which emotions (positive or negative) appear more clearly, but do not remember them.
We cannot ignore that there are universal dreams, dreams that mean the same in all cultures and that respond to emotions that all human beings have regardless of their gender, their culture or the society in which they have lived. Here there are no differences between what men and women dream. And what dreams have men and women equally?
+ Dreams related to daily concerns, especially economic or labor. Dreaming with the boss, dreaming that they say goodbye, dream that you touch the lottery or dream that you are late for a job interview, they are common both in men and women.
+ Dreams in whose meaning a state of stress or anxiety is also frequent in both genres. It is common to dream that the phone sounds constantly, that you want to run and you cannot, that you forget to pick up children to school or even your children get sick. All of them are dreams that indicate that your responsibilities and obligations are surpassing you.
+ That women are worrying more about emotional aspect does not mean that men do not have problems in that area. Since they do not always want to recognize it, there are dreams to remind them that they are also human with low self -esteem problems when they dream that they fall a tooth, for example. Or by dreaming of remaining bald, which is interpreted as a moment of emotional precariousness and weakness.
+ Nightmares are also for them and for them. The same as dreams with animals or food. It is significant that both men and women live dream experiences in which they have to fight against a wild animal, a very frequent dream that you have to try to win to be able to wake up with all the energy and positivity we need.
