What does sleep position mean. What do night poses say during sleep (10 photos)

Modern psychoanalysts have seriously begun to study the joint sleep of couples and the positions in which they most often stay. During rest, our consciousness turns off, but the subconscious mind works quite actively, which means that all the positive and negative emotions that a person controls during the day appear at night. Our bodies become the best storytellers, they can tell about boundless love, feelings of resentment, accumulated problems, fading interest, a thirst for intimacy and much more. Scientists have managed to decipher the most popular sleeping positions for two, which are taken by couples of different ages, social status and length of time together. Let's consider them in more detail.

Emotional "Spoons"

This sleep position got its name because lovers resemble spoons that lie in a box. Both partners lie on their sides with their bodies turned to the same side. At the same time, the legs can be half-bent, the position of the body is similar to the fetus. A characteristic feature of this position is that the partners are in contact with their bodies as much as possible, they occupy one plane of the bed. Lying behind, as a rule, puts his hands on the front, which expresses tenderness and desire to possess. It is noteworthy that if the partners even get tired of sleeping in this position, then its change will take place synchronously. Neither the woman nor the man wakes up at the same time, they just simultaneously turn over to the other side or take a more comfortable position.

Pose Features:

if the legs of the partners in the “Spoon” pose are intertwined, this indicates their desire to merge into one;
the man lying behind is the leader of the couple, he takes a leading position, is a reliable protection and guardian for his partner, his strong hugs can mean "fatherly" care, a sense of ownership or even jealousy;
the woman lying behind is a mentor and teacher for her partner, she wants to be closer to a man than she really is;
if the hands of the partner lying behind are located on the genitals of the front one, this expresses sexual attraction and passion in intimate relationships;
a hand placed on the chest in front of the person lying speaks of tenderness;
if the hand is located on the stomach, then the partner lying behind requires intimacy, in which there is no sexual connotation.

Passionate "Embrace"

“Hugs” are rightfully considered the pose of newlyweds who have just started sleeping together. This is a very emotional position. A man and a woman lie on their sides, they are turned to face each other. At the same time, they hug each other with their hands, and their legs are intertwined. This arrangement of bodies speaks of the passionate and rapid development of relationships, intimate openness to each other, the desire to own and give to each other.

Pose Features:

“Hugs” are definitely not suitable for long sleep, as they are not physically comfortable, partners can change it several times during the night for more comfortable options.
It is believed that this position is used for a very short time, and lovers stop sleeping in an embrace when they lose the euphoria from the relationship. But some couples manage to keep warm feelings after decades of living together, and they practice "Hug" even after being married for 40 years.
Sleeping together in each other's arms can return to couples who have experienced a surge of feelings for each other or reunited after a long separation.

Romantic back hugs

Couples sleep in this position, in whose relationships there is complete harmony and trust. A man is located on his back, a woman at this time can lie on her side or stomach, less often on her back. The faces of the partners are directed towards each other, the woman puts her head on the arm or shoulder of the man, at this time he hugs her and presses her to him.

The bodies at this time say the following: a woman longs for protection and patronage, and a man is happy to satisfy her needs, he intends to support his beloved, to be a reliable support for her. The posture of the woman also expresses her full recognition of the leadership position of the man in the relationship.

Types of "Hugs on the back":

If a man hugs a woman tightly, lying on his back, this indicates his complete readiness to protect his partner, support her physically and emotionally.
If a woman lying next to her assumes a fetal position, this indicates her need for protection, which she cannot express in words in reality.
When a woman sits next to a man on her stomach and throws her arms or legs back at him, this indicates that she plays the role of a subordinate in a couple.

Disturbing "Abyss"

In this position, joint sleep passes when there are disagreements and problems in the couple. Each partner sleeps on their own half of the bed, their backs are turned to each other. There is a large distance between the bodies. This indicates that the man and woman do not even want to see each other. They have conflicts that each partner is afraid to resolve to the end. In this position, the sleeper tries not to break the distance even at night, when he is firmly immersed in the arms of Morpheus.

If the "Abyss" prevails in poses, then you should carefully reconsider your relationship and put an end to problems in order to restore harmony to the couple.

Militant "Pursuit"

When the joint sleep of a couple occurs mainly in this position, then there is a certain conflict between the distribution of the roles of partners. At the same time, the man lies on his side, he is turned with his back to the woman, she also lies on her side, her body is turned to the man, the hand hugs him by the torso.

This indicates that a woman claims her right to a leading position or is already the main one in a relationship. The man, however, does not accept this and tries to maintain his personal space, since his head is directed forward, as if he is trying to avoid contact with his partner.

Patient "Compromise"

A joint dream in which this position predominates means that there is resentment and misunderstanding between partners. Each of them sleeps on their own part of the bed, the woman is turned back to the man, she lies on her side, pointing her head forward, keeping her distance. The man also lies on his side, he is turned towards the partner, and lightly touches her shoulder with his hand.

The body of a woman says that she wants to be alone, and in the body of a man one can read the readiness to wait until the beloved cools down and is ready to forget the conflict.

How postures change over the years

Psychologists have proven that it is impossible to sleep together all your life in the same position. Even if girls think about how to sleep with a man, they will not find a universal answer to this question. The longer the relationship lasts, the more partners revert to their original sleep habits. They stop sleeping, embracing each other, the space between the bodies is increasing more and more. However, this does not mean at all that the relationship has cooled, on the contrary, the degree of trust increases, and to confirm feelings, you no longer need to endure inconvenience in a dream.

Many married couples in their declining years even acquire separate sleeping places or even rooms so as not to disturb each other's peace. Such a gesture also cannot indicate that there are no more tender feelings. Just over time, the connection with a loved one goes to a radically new level.

We begin to respect each other's habits more, we try to provide our partner with maximum comfort, especially in his declining years, and we are ready to do everything to make him feel good. For the sake of this, you can sacrifice joint sleep, especially since both men and women in old age no longer get much pleasure from it.

In conclusion

Body language is a unique phenomenon, especially when it occurs during sleep. The way we sleep with our loved ones fully reflects our true feelings, no matter how skillfully we hide them during the day.

Young couples choose romantic and passionate poses for themselves, but over time, almost everyone prioritizes comfort. However, there are pleasant exceptions to the rule, when older people prefer the cutest and most romantic sleeping positions.

Love each other in a dream and in reality, express your warm emotions in all possible ways to please and surprise each other.

In a dream, a person cannot control himself, and therefore it is in this state that his body language will be most truthful. Brazilian scientists have even found out the correspondence between postures while sleeping together and relationships in a couple. Let's look at the most common positions that lovers take in a dream.

The meaning of sleeping positions for two

Pose "spoon" or "ladle"- a man hugs a girl from behind, while the couple sleeps, clinging to each other, their heads are directed in one direction. These positions for sleeping together are quite common and have the meaning: "We complement each other." If a couple likes to fall asleep in this position, then this may mean a desire to improve relations after a period of cooling. Also, this pose is taken by people who have stable relationships, who value them very much. Most likely, it was not easy for the couple to reach the existing position, perhaps, after an unsuccessful experience, both thought that the path to happiness was ordered to them. And now both are very afraid of losing what they have.
Pose "pursuit". Similar to the “spoon” position, but here the woman hugs the man. Apparently, in a relationship, the lady is the leader, and the man needs more manifestations of tenderness from her. If the partner's head seeks to avoid touching, then this means an attempt to increase or maintain their personal space.
Pose "Abyss"- a man and a woman sleep, turned away, each on their own half of the bed. This situation indicates a quarrel or a protracted misunderstanding. Although, if a couple considers such positions for sleeping together to be the most comfortable, then this may indicate an impending break in relations.
Pose "Chanel"- partners lie with their backs to each other, touching their hips. This position is considered the most comfortable for sleeping couples who are united by a strong bond. So people with different types of temperament and different habits can fall asleep. They are together, but each of them is a person. If a couple sleeps in this position, touching their heads, shoulders and back, but leaving free space in the hips, then this betrays lovers with too different views of the world. Therefore, it is difficult to say anything about the future in these relations. If spouses take such a pose, then this indicates their desire to protect themselves from the outside world.
Pose "love hug"- the couple sleeps in an embrace, tightly clinging to each other, intertwining limbs. This pose is typical for the beginning of a relationship and speaks of emotions overwhelming partners. If in such a position there is a small distance between a man and a woman, then this indicates a readiness to live together and not get on each other's nerves. In this pair, both are ready to accept the lack of each other.
Pose "roof"- partners sleep on their backs, one hugs the other by the shoulders or head. Such positions during sleep together demonstrate the closeness of the couple, but at the same time they indicate a lack of sexual interest, since there is no contact in the hips.
Pose "cradle"- the girl lies on the chest of a man hugging her. This posture speaks of a stable union and harmonious relationships. A woman feels the protection of her man, and he appreciates her care and support.
Pose "by the handle" - partners sleep on their backs, holding hands. This is usually how lovers sleep, who are very similar in their temperament. They can be similar in appearance - in height or physique. The position on the back indicates a sense of security, but at the same time, partners need physical contact.
Pose "independence"- partners sleep on their stomachs separately from each other. The hand of one of them touches the body of the other. This posture speaks of the desire of both to maintain independence, of the fear of becoming attached to each other. And touching with your hand indicates a desire to find support in order to get rid of this fear.
Pose "face to face"- partners fall asleep on their side, facing each other, without touching their limbs. This position indicates the presence of a strong bond between lovers, but they are forced to spend a lot of time separately.

As you can see, the positions that you take in a dream with your loved one can tell a lot. But still, you should not be too categorical in your assessments, firstly, we still try to take a more comfortable sleeping position, and not one that is more in line with our emotional state. And, secondly, the meaning of the pose of the spouses can radically change any gesture. For example, the “cradle” position speaks of harmonious relationships, but if in this position a man holds a woman by the hand lying on his chest, as if closing his heart from a lady’s pen, the meaning changes. This position will indicate that the man is afraid to let the girl get too close.

Brazilian psychologists analyzed the postures that couples take during sleep, and made the appropriate conclusions, putting a diagnosis on each couple. As it turned out, body language speaks eloquently about the relationship between a man and a woman, this is especially pronounced in a dream, when reveals our subconscious.

honeymoon hugs. The couple lies embracing, literally intertwining limbs. This is a typical position for the first months of a relationship, very emotional, but completely uncomfortable and almost impossible to maintain for a long time. This is gratitude for the intimacy that just happened. This posture means: Love you», « I want to be a part of you», « I like to have sex with you».

Poses for sleeping together: honeymoon hugs And crab.

Crab. If you notice at night that you are lying on the very edge of the bed, as if crawling away from your partner (there are even those who sleep with their feet on their partner's head), then you should think about it, as the relationship is under threat. However, sometimes such a posture can only mean that you are a creative, creative person and your subconscious mind chooses the best idea.

Chanel. The hips touch, but each turns to his side, forming a pose that resembles the emblem of the Chanel brand. This position is typical for partners who already have some experience of living together. Relations in a couple are stable, but there is a desire to restore the lost. Touching a partner in the area of \u200b\u200bthe “fifth point” says: “ We are together, but each is an individual».

Poses for sleeping together: chanel And spoon or bowl.

Spoon or ladle. The couple sleeps tightly, pressed against each other, heads in the same direction. This posture says: We complement each other». « If you like to sleep or fall asleep in this position, you are trying to build relationships, probably after some cooling.”, - comments a specialist in family psychology, author of the book “Body Language and Family Psychology”, a psychologist Marcus Cardozo.

abyss. Each sleeping on his own side of the bed, turning away. Although this position in itself is not synonymous with a crisis in a relationship, but when partners constantly sleep with their backs to each other, keeping a distance, this indicates the existence of problems and unwillingness to discuss them.

Poses for sleeping together: abyss And roof.

Roof. Both partners sleep on their backs, one hugs the other by the shoulders or head. This position demonstrates intimacy but lack of sexual interest as there is no contact at the hips. This is also symbolized by the hands of partners: each pulls on a sheet, as if trying to cover the intimate part of the body.

Cradle. The girl sleeps on the chest of a man who hugs her. A typical posture characteristic of a stable union. The woman's hand lies on the partner's chest, he hugs her, their heads touch. This posture indicates a harmonious relationship. The girl feels behind her man, like behind a stone wall. And he appreciates her for her support and care.

Poses for sleeping together: cradle And the pursuit.

The pursuit. Pose, the reverse of the pose "Ladle". A woman is either a leader in a relationship, or trying to become one. Since the man's head tends to avoid being touched, it can be assumed that he wants to maintain or increase personal space.

Looking for a compromise. The woman has turned away from the man and is sleeping on her side of the bed. " Leave me alone, at least for a while', as she states. The posture of the man - with the head tilted towards the partner and the hand that touches her shoulder - indicates that he is ready to wait for her to calm down.

Poses for sleeping together: in search of a compromise And leg hug.

"Hugs" with the foot. The woman's hand is under the man's body. This is a signal that the partner wants to win back the space. The position of the foot on the partner's foot speaks of an attempt to impose one's will, to use one's power, including sexual power. The pose demonstrates: one of the partners (the one who puts his foot on the partner) is actively conquering him, trying to subdue him.

According to Cardozo, these positions reflect our emotional state, but during the night a person instinctively seeks to take a physiologically more comfortable position. And if it is wrong, then he may have nightmares, and after sleep - a headache, a feeling of weakness, etc. With different variations, one can distinguish three main postures.

Experts are unanimous that posture on the stomach- the worst. In this position, the twisted neck compresses the throat and the artery that runs in the region of the collarbone. This makes it difficult to breathe and provide the body with oxygen. In addition, tension in the cervical spine creates a risk of osteochondrosis and problems with the nervous system.

Pose on the back- not ideal, because it provokes a violation of the rhythm of breathing, leads to snoring and is known as the "sudden death pose" due to respiratory arrest. If you prefer it, then experts advise sleeping on a low pillow in the form of a roller.

It is recommended to sleep in a side pose with one clarification: the hands should be below the shoulder girdle. In this case, the head and spine remain in their natural position. If the hands are in the “under the cheek” position, then this leads to their poor blood supply and leakage. Better take care of a good pillow. In this position, it is useful to hold a blanket between your legs, which will immediately relax the muscles of the legs and pelvis, and you will quickly fall asleep.

Few people know that the posture of sleep and the character of a person are closely related. After all, according to psychologists, according to the position of the sleeping person, they determine confidence, possession of leadership qualities, temper - calm or irritable.

What postures say during sleep

During sleep, people take a comfortable position for themselves, but this process occurs, as a rule, on an intuitive level. However, the position of a sleeping person is completely dependent on factors that are divided into external and internal. The first category of factors includes:

room temperature;
ambient noise level;
change of bed (overnight at a party, hotel, camp, etc.);
comfort level of the bed;
co-sleeping with and without a partner.

Internal factors are also not always tied to a person's character. For example, the position of sleep may change due to the course of pathology in the body or after stress.

If such phenomena are absent, then there are two factors that influence the choice of a comfortable position for sleeping - the character and mood of a person.

Based on the statements, the conclusion suggests itself that it is possible to determine the character by the posture of sleep. However, for this you need to know about the current state of the sleeper and be able to decipher the position of his body during sleep. It is easy to learn this, because. the posture of a sleeping person gesticulates about his inner fears or, on the contrary, self-confidence.

Decoding by body position

When deciphering the character according to the sleeping position, first of all, you should pay attention to the position of the person on the bed. Posture indicates a global picture of the internal state. The location of the arms and legs of the sleeping person tells about some little things of character. Since they reflect the state of mind of a person even over the past day.

Occupied space

If a person in a dream lies in the “starfish” position in the center of the bed or lies across the bed, trying to take up as much free space as possible. This is a clear sign of a strong-willed character, which speaks of activity and cheerfulness. People sleeping in this position are often the soul of the company and the manager among colleagues.

Important! During sleep, a person changes position. However, the character is displayed only in the position that it takes in the deep sleep phase. After all, at this moment the brain is partially switched off, and any person begins to behave like a baby, not trying to "keep the mark" in front of herself or others.

If the sleeper tries to occupy only the corner of the bed, twisting into a fetal position, then this position will clearly indicate the stiffness of the person, and the fear of opening up to new acquaintances and events. At the same time, such people may well be talented, but because of shyness, it is not possible to reveal their potential by 100%.

Those who like to sleep on the edge are often considered insecure personalities, extremely dissatisfied with life. Determined by the pessimistic mood and bad mood. Sleepers who toss and turn in bed during the night are perceived as impulsive and unfocused. As practice shows, it is better not to deal with such people at work, because. because of inconstancy you will risk your reputation.

Hands

Hands play an important role in sign language as they make it possible to describe or show to the interlocutor, without the use of sound. It works the same way in a dream. By the hands of the sleeping person, the life position, worldview and character are determined. This is done by deciphering such gestures as:

Hands are located on the stomach crosswise or one above the other. The designation stands for protective. Probably, a person has problems at the current stage of life that are haunting. In a pregnant woman, this position of the hands speaks of a relationship with an unborn child.
Hands are thrown behind the head, and the elbows are spread apart. Sleepers in this position have a high level of intelligence, which can also play the role of protection.
The arms are bent at the elbows 90 degrees and are located on the sides of the head. This posture resembles a person on the crossbar. The position of the limbs emphasizes the authority of the sleeper and satisfaction with life. This gesture occurs in the "royal" pose.
The arms are extended at the elbows and extended upwards. This position is inherent in passive persons who do not seek to achieve goals.
The palms touch the face, completely or partially covering it. One of the rare positions of the limbs, indicating a serious loss in the life of a person.
Hands hold on to the back or edge of the bed. This position clearly indicates the need of the sleeping person for the support of others or loved ones.

Important! Pay close attention to the palms of the sleeping person. If clenched into fists, then this can be a direct reflection of the aggressiveness and temper of the character. Such people are distinguished by perseverance and the ability to win back what they want.

Thus, the hands expressively show the character of the person without the usual "masks" and the current state of mind.

Legs

The position of the legs in a dream indicates a person's purposefulness. This is due to the accuracy of displaying the vital movement: slow and timid or fast and confident. Common leg positions are deciphered as follows:

Feet hide under the mattress, bedspread or cling to the edge of the bed. The meaning of such a sleep position is interpreted as the constancy that the sleeper shows in everyday life (at work, in relationships with a loved one, etc.).
The legs are outside the bed. The position is found in people who like to lie horizontally on the bed. The position of the legs speaks of the freedom-loving person and the attraction to constant change: a change of residence, work, and in some cases a love partner. Usually people do not follow generally accepted rules and norms, tk. there is an individual internal charter.
The legs are crossed or intertwined. A similar position of the limbs indicates that the person moves through life timidly and uncertainly. This, in turn, makes it possible to manipulate it.
The legs are in a bent or unbent position, one on top of the other. The meaning of the position of the limbs of the sleeper indicates movement with the flow and the ability to adapt to different situations that life presents.
The legs are extended. This sleeping position is typical for purposeful people who are ready at any moment to change their lives for the better, without fear of possible consequences.

If we consider the position of each leg separately, then we can also determine the sexual disposition of a person. However, for this it is recommended to study the subtleties of psychology and catch the connection with the position of a person in a dream.

Determine what kind of person is sleeping nearby

Sleeping positions determine not only the character of a person, but also his predisposition to the second half. For example, being in a close relationship for the first time, a guy and a girl try to sleep close to each other in order to feel physical contact. After a long time spent in a dream, the positions of the lovers change, reflecting the current feelings for the partner. You can decrypt it like this:

The girl's head rests on the boy's chest. Such a situation during a joint dream suggests that the girl is ready to withstand the whims of the chosen one and support in difficult times. Usually this type of woman is considered a devotee.
The boy and the girl lie face to face. This position indicates the desire of the couple to spend more time with each other. However, if a similar situation has recently manifested itself in one, with a long relationship, then this phenomenon will openly indicate a lack of attention.
The limbs of the boy and girl are intertwined. If a couple regularly sleeps with their arms and legs intertwined, then this can mean one thing: they are happy with the choice. Close bodily contact in this position is another confirmation that the guy and the girl love each other.
Partners sleep back to back, or one turns his back to the other. If a person in a dream turns his back to his soulmate, then this is a significant sign of love of freedom, incl. and in relationships. However, you should be wary when a partner has recently noticed a similar position during sleep. Indeed, in the first place, such a phenomenon indicates a loss of interest.

Important! The interpretation of the poses may differ slightly, depending on the location of the limbs and the head of the guy or girl. But to decipher such subtleties of a person's predisposition to his beloved or beloved, one should deeply understand psychology, and its relationship with sleeping positions.

After carefully looking at your bed partner, do not rush to make spontaneous conclusions. After all, any situation, even an unpleasant one, can always be corrected for the better. If you have any doubts about the correctness of the interpretation of the lover's posture, consult a psychologist.

Common postures and interpretation

If you do not pay attention to the detailed arrangement of the arms and legs of the sleeper, then you can see that most sleeping positions are similar to each other. And indeed it is. To date, experts in the field of psychology distinguish about eight different positions for sleeping, which are considered the most common. And what definition carries each position, you can find out below.

fetus or embryo

People who sleep in the fetal or "embryo" position are usually very secretive natures. When you first communicate with such a person, it may well seem to you that he is self-confident, or even a little tough. But in fact, this impression is misleading, because "embryos" are more prone to sensitivity and shyness.

At the same time, this category of people often has talents, but because of their shyness and constraint, they cannot realize themselves 100%. In order for the embryo to be liberated, you will first need to gain confidence, and in some way become a fulcrum, which will take a lot of time.

semi-embryo

Sleepers in the semi-fetal position have a secretive nature. In dealing with strangers, they try to be as calm and balanced as possible. But as for the persons close to them, for them the “half-embryos” open up completely, listening to the opinion, and sensitively reacting to their comments.

In business and in love relationships, this type of people is considered docile and reliable. However, lovers of the “half-embryo” position do not need the support of others. They are quite capable of existing independently, which explains their desire to limit the circle of their communication.

Soldier

In this position, the sleeper resembles a soldier not only visually, but also in character. Often, people who lie on their backs in a dream and fold their arms at their sides have straightforwardness, which gives them the opportunity to express their opinion to the interlocutor in person. However, in most cases, direct communication of "soldiers" occurs only with friends, as they try to be more restrained with strangers.

In relationships and friendships, sleeping "soldiers" are usually very demanding. But if you fit their requirements, you can be sure that this person will never betray you. It should also be noted that people who sleep in the position of a soldier are often perfectionists and maximalists.

Heron

Herons sleeping in the pose have a capricious character, and in life they behave very unpredictably. All the decisions that this type of people makes, for the most part, depend on their mood. Therefore, it is difficult to predict actions in advance, even if you are a close person.

At work, herons can be very active and productive, but only when they are in a good mood. If they don’t have a mood, then such an internal state can turn into a long-term depression for them. Well, only your own attitude and attempts to fight your passivity will help the “herons” get out of a depressive state.

Star

In the pose of a star, a person occupies almost all the free space on the bed, which can already tell about his pride and inflated self-esteem. However, these criteria are not always justified. After all, if this type of person really occupies a leading position in life, then inside he will be very worried about not losing his “brand”.

If such a nuisance does happen, then the “star” cannot avoid a long depression. Indeed, in addition to the fact that such people depend on the opinions of others, there are also many complexes (not always justified) that simply press from the inside. In friendship and relationships, "stars" are often unfounded, but you should not pay attention to this, because they do it unconsciously.

Sphinx

This sleeping position is more common in children, although in rare cases it can also be found in adults. Usually this position in bed is occupied by those persons who try to be in the sleep stage less time, since they have a large number of unfinished business with which they are ready to fight day and night. On average, the duration of dreams in "sphinxes" is about 4 hours. But if their sleep goes into a deeper stage, then they may well take their usual position and continue to sleep carefree further.

King

A person sleeping in this position feels as relaxed as possible, which clearly indicates his self-confidence. Among friends and colleagues, "kings" usually feel like masters of the situation, which often allows them to occupy leadership positions. However, such persons do not strive to become the soul of the company, because they prefer to be in the role of a spectator or listener.

Purposefulness from the "kings" also does not take away. Even despite the fact that such people sometimes have high goals, they always try to achieve them at any cost. In relations with a loved one, “kings” are also not inferior to their partner in disputes, but in any conflict situation they behave decently and honestly, not embarrassed to express their opinion in the face of the interlocutor.

On the stomach

This position for sleeping is inherent in hidden persons who do not seek to share their free space with anyone. In order to ingratiate yourself with such a person, you will need a very large amount of time, and even after becoming his best friend, you cannot be sure that he trusts you one hundred percent.

In any controversial situations, this type of people will have their own opinion, which can often differ from the opinion of the majority. Well, if any problems arise, those sleeping on their stomachs will not look for a shoulder to cuddle up to and cry, as they are used to relying only on themselves.

Night body language of partners

The meaning of the position in a dream with a loved one is very important for lovers. After all, knowing the interpretation of the position of your soulmate, you can understand his true attitude towards yourself.

For example, if your partner in the stage of sound sleep turns his back on you, then this can be perceived as his distance, expressed in cooled feelings. In particular, it makes sense to think about this problem when your partner began to turn his back on you after a long life together.

If the other half, on the contrary, tries to lie face to face, or hug you from behind, in the position of "spoons", then this is a good sign that indicates his increased interest in you. In this case, there is nothing to worry about, but you should not relax either.

The influence of life events on the position in a dream

As mentioned earlier, the sleeping posture and the character of a person are closely related. However, the position of the sleeper can also be influenced by some events that happen to him daily. For example, if a person has a very stressful day, then during sleep she can take the characteristic protective posture of an embryo or semi-embryo.

If stressful situations haunt a person constantly, as a result of which he has disorders of the cardiovascular system, then he will most likely spend the night in a supine position, with his arms extended upwards. Well, in case of pathologies associated with the cervical region or the head area, the position of the person will change to the side with the hands located under the pillow or under the cheek.

Based on the above, it turns out that the position during sleep reflects not only the character of the person, but also his internal state in which he is currently located. This means that you will be able to recognize even the information that a person is trying to hide from others. However, this should not be abused either. Since without certain skills it is not always possible to correctly interpret this or that position of the sleeper, having made the wrong conclusions in advance.

Psychological features of character are manifested in all our actions: appearance, gait, speech, choice of wardrobe, etc. But if all of the above can be controlled if desired, then with a pose in a dream this becomes almost unrealistic. During a night's rest, people do not control themselves, and therefore behave in the most natural way. This is the basis of the science that studies the meaning of sleep posture.

The way we sleep can tell a lot about us as a person: about our mood, character, condition, relationships with other people, worldview. Here is a very important fact: for analysis, you need to take into account only the sleeping position that a person uses most often.

So, let's look at the most common sleep positions and their meaning.

Fetal Pose

The man sleeps on his side. He pulls up bent knees and tightly pressed to the chest. Often there is a pillow or a fragment of a blanket between the knees. As a rule, such people like to sleep on the edge of the bed. This position is reminiscent of a baby sleeping in the womb and tells us about the need for security. This indicates their isolation, dependence on others, insecurity. Most likely, he is indecisive and anxious. In his youth, he did not separate from his mother and now feels a constant need for help and support from another. At the same time, he may have isolation and difficulties with communication. He experiences some anxiety in relation to the people around him, as a result of which it is difficult for him to openly express his emotions and feelings. It is not easy for him to establish close and trusting relationships, but when this happens, he becomes a good and faithful friend.

Half Fetal Pose

Similar to the previous pose, differs only in that the legs are bent only slightly. The character of such a person is balanced, complaisant. But, despite the prudence of such a person, his nature throughout his life remains quite sensitive and vulnerable.

It is the most common. It is so called due to the fact that about thirty percent of the world's population prefers to sleep in it. A person, lying on his side, slightly bends his arms and legs; while the hands can be above the head, one hand can lie on the chest or under the pillow.

Difficult sleeping position. The sleeper looks twisted: one arm of the sleeper is raised up, the second lies on the bed parallel to the body.

They are not accustomed to bringing what they have started to the end, and achieving any goal, they can walk over the heads of others without a twinge of conscience.

Pose "logs"

The person lies on his side, and his arms are extended along the body. This means that he is usually good-natured and open. He loves to communicate with people - it gives him real pleasure. Thanks to this, he quickly and easily converges with new people. In some cases (this is especially emphasized if the arms are stretched forward, which makes the pose look like the silhouette of a man begging), he is too trusting. This person makes decisions slowly, but if he has thought of something, he is unlikely to refuse it. Although sometimes it happens that, often faced with deceit, he turns into a cynical and distrustful person.

However, you do not need to control yourself and try to lie down in a certain position. This is not a psychotherapeutic moment, but a psychodiagnostic one.
