WHAT IS YOUR THREAT ASSESSMENT

Dream Vigilance: Your Threat Assessment

Ullman is also famous for a theory he called dream vigilance. He noticed that as many as three-quarters of the dreams people reported to him were unsettling or downright troubling. Yet the
dreamers who were telling these dreams were not unstable and were not really in any objective trouble. He realized that the dreaming process tends to focus on threats to our happiness long before
anything bad actually happens. A part of the mind is like a watchful sentinel in a tower, looking into the distance to see whether any enemies or threats appear on the horizon. When Ullman tracked
the events associated with these dreams, he also found that the dreams exaggerated the potential for threat, amplified it, and put it into story form. If a dream predicted trouble, it was sometimes
because change was happening and there was a potential for a problem— it was not that the trouble would necessarily come to pass.

Ullman’s theory of dream vigilance has gone a long way to help us understand that dreams often have an edgy quality, even when things are going pretty well in our waking lives. This helps explain why our dreams can contain hypothetical scenarios in the future, often asking “What if…?” and playing out possibilities. Our dreams often recognize potential threats long before we do on a conscious level.
