Why Do Dreams Make You Angry? A Psychologist Explains

Spanish Psychologist Explains Why Dreams Can Leave You Angry Waking up angry at someone for something they did in a dream is more common than you think. Dr. Fernandez, a psychologist from Spain, explains this phenomenon in a recent TikTok video. He states that "our brain doesn't fully distinguish between what's dreamed and what's emotionally experienced." This means that the intense emotions felt in a dream, such as anger or betrayal, can linger even after waking up. The video highlights the role of the amygdala, a part of the brain responsible for processing emotions, in this experience. Dr. Fernandez suggests that these feelings are a result of the brain processing subconscious insecurities or unresolved issues. He encourages viewers to rationalize the situation and remember that the dream was not reality. The video's popularity, with over 31,000 views and 2,980 likes, shows the widespread interest in this topic.
