Is there any corelation between the seratonin concentration and remembering the dreams
Hello Ravi, in my research some time ago I was interested in whether quantity of dreams (how often they are remembered) was connected to (originated from?) some specific personality features. I had a hypothesis that people with certain attachment styles would differ in the amount of dreams they remember. I assumed that avoidant attachment would lead to less dreams being remembered (while anxiety provoking content may be rejected by consciousness), but I did not find such connection. In fact, in my sample, there were no differences between groups of people with different personality traits in the frequency of remembering dreams. (I did, however, find that some qualities of dreams were related to attachment style, but this is a different topic.)
Thanks for the reply madam i agree with your findings .Seratonin concentration is related to the memory. I have readed in some article where they have mentioned about it the concentration of seratonin is high the chances of remembering a dream is high so in this context i asked question madam.Mam i am bit confused about avoidant attachment can u briefly explain it mam if u dont mind .
Ravi, many thanks for your reply. As my interest lies primarily within psychotherapy, I am not aware of any research in dreams remembering and serotonin levels. However, this idea sounds interesting in the light of depression, when serotonin regulation may be impaired - If there is a correlation, then possibly dream recalling would be more difficult in the state of depression? Of course, this is just a vague assumption, as I don't know any research evidence for this topic. Regarding avoidant attachment, this originates from the theory of Bowlby and later M.Ainsworth. In a very short summary, people would develop certain attitudes (attachment styles) towards other people and objects in their childhood and these attitudes would later shape their relationships. In case of avoidant attachment, a person may be withdrawn from interaction or seeking support from others, which would have its roots in the absence of their parent or their parent's inability to interact meaningfully or offer consolation. I hope this is somehow helpful? And good luck with exploring the topic of serotonin levels and dreams further!
we forgot almost all dreams soon after waking up. Our forgetfulness is generally attributed to neurochemical conditions in the brain that occur during REM sleep, a phase of sleep characterized by rapid eye movements and dreaming
There may be a correlation between serotonin level and happy dreams only.
Annoying and depressing dreams Serotonin has nothing to do with it
Dreams have hidden meanings realized in the world of wakefulness, either forget some dreams have for several reasons, including fatigue and discomfort during sleep or sometimes the nature of the same person is often forgotten.
