Many scientists have investigated the causes of dreaming during sleep. World famous neuroscientist Sigmund Freud has done the greatest work on this subject. According to him, many of our desires are repressed. We don't feel its touch normally. But when people dream, it comes forward.

Psychiatrists say that there are 3 stages in human sleep. The first stage is sleep onset, the second stage is light sleep, then the third and fourth stages are deep sleep or rapid eye movement stage. It is at this stage that nightmares are seen.

In this regard, a researcher named Carol Washerman said that the night he ate shrimp, he would spend a restless night with terrible nightmares. Later he stopped eating shrimp and all those nightmares ended. Nightmares originate not only from anxiety but also from unconsciousness.
