Are you having trouble sleeping because of the heat and dozing off in your dreams?
What happens when you analyze dreams you have on tropical nights?

Do dreams really have meaning?

"First, Fuji, second, hawk, third, eggplant."
This is a famous phrase that Japanese people use when predicting the auspicious signs of the new year through their first dreams of the year, but dream interpretation is practiced all over the world and even appears in the Old Testament as far back as ancient times.
Also, since we cannot control our dreams, they are thought to represent our subconscious.
Here are some common dreams people have and their meanings.

Dreams of dying
Dreams about death can leave a bad taste in your mouth, but death is also a symbol of rebirth and is often seen as a good omen.

Dreams about excretion
It is believed to represent letting go of the old and being reborn, and is therefore auspicious.

Dream of flying
A dream in which you are flying comfortably through the sky represents a turning point that will allow you to make your hopes come true, and is auspicious.
If you dream of trying to fly but not being able to fly as you want, it may be a sign that you are feeling stressed or pressured.

Dream of being chased
Dreaming of being chased by someone or something is also considered a sign of stress or pressure.

Dream interpretation is interesting because dreams about death and excretion, which may seem like bad dreams, are actually considered to be good omens.

Is it better not to respond to someone talking in their sleep?

When you dream, you may sometimes have nightmares or talk in your sleep.
Since the sleep we experience when we dream is relatively light, some people may have been woken up by their own sleep talking.
The saying "it's better not to respond to someone talking in their sleep" seems to be a consideration for the other person, meaning that even if they are dreaming and talking in their sleep, it's better not to disturb them because they are asleep.

Why do we dream and then forget them so quickly?

It is believed that while we sleep at night, we not only rest our bodies but also organize our memories in the brain.
In the meantime, it's a dream.
Most dreams are not remembered, but dreams that occur during the light sleep before waking up at dawn can remain in our memory even after waking up, and it is at such times that we feel like we have "dreamed."
That's why it's normal not to remember your dreams.

However, if you wake up in the morning and feel like you've been dreaming all night, it may be because you didn't sleep well due to the heat.
Why not try some simple tricks to help you get a good night's sleep?

How to get a good night's sleep on tropical nights

Avoid smartphones and TV before bed
It is said that using a smartphone right before going to bed prevents a good night's sleep because the light emitted from the LCD screen wakes up the brain.

Take a bath 1-2 hours before bed
Taking a bath on a hot day may seem like a hassle, but if you warm your body with a bath 1-2 hours before bedtime, you will naturally feel sleepy as your body temperature drops, making it easier to fall asleep.

Wearing pajamas even when it's hot
It is said that people sweat a cup's worth while sleeping, and drying that sweat is also important for a comfortable sleep.
It is believed that wearing pajamas made of sweat-absorbing material will lead to a more comfortable sleep than sleeping naked because it is hot.

Use the air conditioner wisely
If you find yourself turning off your air conditioner when you go to bed, then waking up in the middle of the night because it's too hot, you may find it more comfortable to leave it on all night at a temperature setting of 28 degrees or higher.
If you don't like leaving it on all the time, we recommend setting the off timer to a longer time, such as three hours, so that the heat doesn't disturb the deep sleep you get after falling asleep.

Blocking out early morning light is also an option.
The sun rises early in the summer, so some people may find themselves waking up by the morning sun.
Waking up to the morning sun at the start of the day is great for your body, but if you find yourself waking up when you want to sleep a little longer, one option is to use blackout curtains.

Summer is a time of tropical nights. To avoid fatigue, make sure you get enough sleep and stay healthy throughout the summer.
