Dr. Oz: Are
You Normal Or Nuts? Weird Questions Answered
Have you asked
yourself: am I normal or nuts?, is my health concern real or in my
head? And what the heck do my dreams mean?
Lauri
Loewenberg, is a dream expert, author of Dream
On It and several other books, and a part of Dr. Oz's
ShareCare network. Ms. Loewenberg said dreams can give us a clue to
our health. As we know, our body is connected to our brain and if we
pay attention to and understand dreams we can learn about the body.
She said women can often know that they are pregnant before they “pee
on a stick”. Dreams can also warn of depression and anxiety.
Dream: Falling
Are you normal or
nuts when you have a falling dream? Patty said she's had the falling
dream for more than 10 years. She is always standing in a grassy area
and she always hits the ground.
Dr. Oz: What Your Dreams Say
About Your Health
Dr. Oz had a PJ party today. The
audience and Dr. oz were in their PJ's to discuss what dreams mean
and what dreams can mean about our health. Stress, fear, happiness
are all messages our body sends us when we are sleeping.
We dream more than 50,000 hours in our
lifetime, about two hours a night. It's during the active REM sleep
when are dreams happen. Scientists believe that dreams are the way
our body interprets what happen to us during the day. Others believe
it's our body's way to warn of impending health concerns or
activities that may be harming us.
Ms. Loewenber says when you dream
you're thinking on an intuitive level, it's the time you can be most
honest with your self.
Dr. Michael Breus, PhD, is the author
of The
Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan: Lose Weight through Better Sleep
and a member of Dr. Oz's ShareCare network. Dr. Breus said REM sleep
is the brain's way of solving problems and organize our thoughts.
Dr. Oz explained that during REM sleep,
the brain tells the body not to move but allows the eyes to move.
Brain thinking deeply and stops ability to move so that the body
doesn't react to the dreams. When people sleep walk, it's a sign that
REM sleep is not working the way it should.
Dr. Oz said he's fascinated with dreams
and believes that we can tap into our brain's ability to solve issues
during sleep we can be more productive and insightful during wakeful
hours.
