4 Surprising Things That Maybe Influencing Your Dreams

Dreams have intrigued scientists and researchers for a long time. Much research has been dedicated into the science of dream creation and what factors influence our dreams. According to scientists there are certain things that influence our dreams to a certain extent:

Sleeping Position

Sleeping on your front or belly is more likely to give your erotic dreams. Sleeping positions matter, according to a study which states that people who sleep on their front get shortness of breath resulting in erotic dreams. A rather strange fact about this sleeping position is that such people not only report of having racier dreams but also claim more than often that they see themselves being involved with some famous personalities.

Genetics and Nightmares

Genetics have a strong association to nightmares and how they are shared among individuals. For instance, in case of identical twins, genetics not only influences their interests and habits but also effects their nightmares and occurrence frequencies of the same. Identical twins have shown to share similar nightmares as suggested by studies.

Magnetic field of Earth

The magnetic field of earth can also have a significant impact on our dreams. According to psychologist Darren Lipnicki who has been involved in research on the same subject and has been recording his dreams for over eight years; dreams are strongly influenced by magnetic field and lower geomagnetic activity also contributes to weird dreams.

Cheese Types

As strange as it may sound but cheese and its different types may also have an impact on dreams. Cheese contains amino acid called tryptophan, which is essentially responsible for reducing the stress levels in the body and for normalizing sleep cycles in individuals. According to a 2005 study, individuals who consumed greater amounts of cheddar cheese were more likely to dream about celebrities while those who had greater consumption of blue cheese experienced weird and bizarre dreams.
