Deciphering the Enigma of Your Slumber's Multiverse
We've all had those types of dreams. Whether funny, creepy or just plain bizarre, they're the dreams we can't seem to shake, at least until we get an answer to "What did that mean??"
On FOX News' "While You Were Sleeping" segment, Dr. Carol Ash took on that very question and offered insight into the body's slumber responses and how to go about "decoding the mysteries of your mind and unlocking the meaning from your dreams."
"You have to remember that the brain is taking in all the old information and new information and processing it in new patterns to help you come up with solutions to the problems of the day," Ash says. "Dreaming allows you to work through all those negative emotions and solve them in a safe environment, your bedroom."
Watch the full segment below to hear Dr. Ash's interpretation of dream scenarios such as losing control of a vehicle, being chased, being lost and having your teeth fall out (which is more common than you think.)

Harness Your Dreams Through the Power of Lucid Dreaming
The ability to control your dreams may sound like a fantasy, but it's a power that actually lies within all of us, according to Dr. Carol Ash, Director of Sleep Medicine at Meridian
Health.
"If you can recognize you are in a dream, you can control the content of
your dream," says Dr. Ash, in a July 7 article published in the Asbury Park Press.
According to Dr. Ash, mastering the process of lucid dreaming is all about repetition and technique. She recommends establishing specific habits and visual patterns throughout your day (such as looking at yourself in the mirror while reading) to help bring neurological functions utilized during daytime hours into your dream world.
"The more you do it, the more you will recognize it in a dream," she says.

Dr. Ash helps answers the question, "Why am I so tired?"
It's a question we've all asked ourselves: "Why am I so tired?"
On a visit to TODAY earlier this year, Dr. Carol Ash and Julie Bain, Health Director for Ladies Home Journal, offered tips to help provide answers to that question.
Both Ash and Bain agreed that mental fatigue and stress can be one of the biggest causes of daytime sleepiness.
"Stress is a good thing; it helps us overcome challenges," Ash said. "But sustained stress can lead to anxiety and depression."
These types of stress can keep you awake at night - and exhausted during the day.
Ash advises, when stress and anxiety are keeping you up, write it down, and then confide with someone you trust during the day.
