For a long time, there were many speculations and myths surrounding the nature of dreams, including pseudo-scientific ones.
The debate was decisively settled by neurobiologists who came to the conclusion that prophetic dreams are possible, but not in the way people interpret them.
American neurobiologists conducted a series of scientific experiments, during which they managed to find out that in a dream a person can really make an important decision.
The scientific article was published in the journal Nature.
Research by scientists
It is known that neurons store memories of the past. But during the experiment it was possible to find out that they also help to make new decisions.
This happens in a dream, when a person seems to look into the future, which again happens thanks to the neurons of the brain, which foresee a series of events.
Already 20 years ago, it was possible to find out that the neurons of the brain of animals that found themselves in a new environment duplicated the trajectory of its movement during the animal’s sleep.
This confirmed the scientists' assumption that in sleep new impressions are transformed into clear memories.
Further research led to the concept of neuroplasticity – a feature that allows the brain to change based on experience.
The mechanisms of neuroplasticity give neurons the ability to restructure themselves, thanks to which new ideas are formed about what a person has studied, what he has thought about for a long time, etc.
Conclusion
The phenomenon of neuroplasticity in sleep helps the brain find new solutions, not because a person sees events from a future life in a dream, but because real experience is compressed and analyzed.
It is precisely due to the compression of information received during wakefulness that reprogramming occurs in the brain. This allows you to wake up with a ready-made solution, supposedly seen in a prophetic dream.
