are much less active during the REM stage of sleep,even during dreams of traumatic experiences,leading some researchers to theorize that one purpose of dreaming is to take
the edge off painful experiences to allow for psychological healing.

may grant you a clearer perspective and enhanced ability to process them in psychologically healthy ways.People with certain mood disorders and PTSD often have difficulty sleeping,
