DO ANXIETY DREAMS HAVE ANY FUNCTIONS?
El reading explora una hipótesis sobre los sueños. Se ha revisado la conclusión: una asociación con mejores resultados no demuestra que las pesadillas los causen. Estudio de Arnulf y colaboradores · 2014. La frase 4 de Grammar es un ejemplo inventado de tercer condicional.
1. Antonio Zadra, a psychologist, is sharing a memory of a horrifichorrible experience at sea. He had almost made it to shoreorilla, but knew he was about to die. Just then, his son appeared at the water’s edge. He looked at Zadra, and Zadra heard the words: ‘Dad, no!’ He was thinking: ‘I am about to die and I am going to die in front of my son’. And then, he woke up and everything was OK, but not OK.
2. Zadra says this is his worst anxietyansiedad dream. And, having read more than 10,000 dream reports for his work at the Center for Advanced Research in Sleep Medicine at the University of Montreal, he knows that his dream contains one of the most common motifstemas recurrentes of anxietyansiedad dreamssueños: that of our own imminentinminente death (others include chasepersecución and loss of controlpérdida de control). He remembers the horror of this dream but he claims it had a function: ‘I can certainly tell you the clear message that it left me: do not take your most cherishedmuy queridos things in life for granted and take the time to enjoy and love all that is important to you’.
3. Isabelle Arnulf, a sleep researcher, led a study of students taking a competitive medical school entrance exam in Paris. She and her team asked examineespersonas que se examinan to complete a surveyencuesta about how they slept the night before the exam. The students had experienced almost every imaginable examination-related dream. Some couldn’t find the examination hall; others were late. Many dreamed that they tickedmarcaron con una señal the wrong boxes. One dreamed that their walls and curtains were covered in chemical formulae and another raised their hand for paper and was given sliced breadpan de molde. All kinds of transporttransporte disasters surfacedaparecieron: trains didn’t turn up, operators went on strikehuelga.
4. Arnulf and her team found an associationasociación between dreaming about the exam during the night precedinganterior a it and better exam performancerendimiento. More frequent exam dreamssueños during the first term were also associated with higher marksnotas. These findingshallazgos do not prove that anxietyansiedad dreamssueños cause success or that students should try to have nightmarespesadillas. One possible explanation is the threat simulation theory: people may rehearseensayar frighteningaterradoras situations in dreamssueños, and this rehearsalensayo might help them face similar situations in waking lifevida despierto. It remains an explanation to investigate, rather than a guaranteegarantía about any individual student.
