Khargone. Having scary dreams while sleeping at night is a sign of a major disease. If you also have scary dreams, then do not ignore it. In fact, a recent research published by Cambridge University and Kings College London found that problems like scary dreams and hallucinations at night can be early symptoms of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, arthritis, etc. This research is important because 400 doctors conducted a survey and interviewed 800 patients.
However, there can be many other reasons for nightmares, such as alcohol, medicines, anxiety, lack of sleep, etc. But, due to this, dreams come occasionally, whereas due to autoimmune disease, dreams come continuously. If there is inflammation anywhere in the body, then scary dreams increase at night. In such a situation, it is important to immediately consult a psychiatrist in your nearest hospital and get treatment.
has an effect on the brain
Dr. Ritesh Gurjar, a psychiatrist posted at Khargone District Hospital, told Local 18 that research has shown that when there is inflammation in the body, a hormone called cytokine, which tries to balance it, affects REM sleep. REM sleep is the stage of sleep in which dreams occur the most. Which has a direct effect on the brain.
how dreams come
Let us tell you that scary dreams can occur due to autoimmune disease. People feel that they have been attacked by someone. Dreams like crushing someone or killing someone are also common. In some dreams, it seems that someone is trapped in trouble but one is unable to help. These dreams can be symptoms of diseases like lupus, rheumatoid, Sjogren’s, arthritis, syndrome and systemic sclerosis.
Measures to prevent illness
Dr. Ritesh Gurjar said that both physical and mental conditions are responsible for dreams. In such a situation, do yoga 1 hour before sleeping, keep the dinner light. Do exercise for 30 to 45 minutes daily. Tell your family members and take treatment from a psychiatrist.
