¿Por qué sigues teniendo el mismo sueño?

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:26:57 GMT

(CNN) — Durante años, sueños en los que mis dientes se rompían, se aflojaban o se caían asolaron mi descanso. Mis seres queridos han soñado repetidamente que vuelan, que ruedan en un vehículo autónomo, o que llegan tarde al colegio o al trabajo. No son las típicas pesadillas, que normalmente ocurren una vez. Son algunos de los sueños recurrentes más comunes, los cuales tienden a ser negativos y puede costar trabajo superarlos.“Es más probable que los sueños recurrentes se refieran a experiencias vitales muy profundas o a problemas lógicos de carácter que, en cierto modo, están garantizados que se repitan en la vida despierta porque forman parte de uno mismo y no son un acontecimiento puntual”, afirma Deirdre Barrett, investigadora de los sueños y profesora de Psicología en el Departamento de Psiquiatría de la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard.Los sueños recurrentes que tienden hacia lo negativo pueden ser estresantes.

DALLAS (AP) — Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 23 points, and the San Antonio Spurs sent Dallas into an offseason of uncertainty with a 138-117 victory over the Mavericks in a meaningless, reserve-filled finale Sunday.Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and four other regulars were out for Dallas, which is being investigated by the NBA for similar roster decisions two days earlier against Chicago. The Mavericks still had a shot at the final Western Conference play-in spot before blowing an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Bulls.The Spurs sat nine players, but they’ve been out of contention for months and were already locked in to the best draft lottery odds at 14%, along with Detroit and Houston, in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.The loss solidified the 10th-best lottery chances for Dallas at 4.5%, which is part of the reason the NBA opened an investigation when Doncic was pulled early and Irving and four other regulars didn’t play at all against Chicago.
