Laughing in sleep superstition
It is common for people to laugh and talk while sleeping even though most parts of the human body are paralyzed to avoid physical harm.
There are a lot of interpretations about laughing in your sleep (mostly positive), but other people believe that laughing in one's sleep is a sign or warning that there's someone in your circle that brings negative energy. Moreover, it can mean that you're not satisfied with your waking life because you're laughing when you're asleep to escape from reality.
Whatever the reason is, laughing in your sleep means that you're seeing or experiencing something in your dream.
Laughing in your dream can be interpreted differently, but according to some superstitious beliefs, when you're laughing in your sleep, it's a sign of a good omen. However, it depends on the actual dream or how the laughter sounded.
However, some laughs can be disturbing, which means it can serve as a warning that you should be careful of people around you and your life in the future.
Baby laughing in sleep spiritual meaning
If you're a new parent, you often find yourself watching your baby as it falls asleep. But you never thought to see your baby smile or laugh at you while in their sleep.
You may find it amusing and cute, but later on, you think, what made your baby laugh in their sleep? Does it mean something?
Spiritually, the most popular interpretation of a baby laughing in sleep is that baby sees angels; that's why they laugh while asleep. Moreover, other meanings of a baby's laughter are more of a reflex than a response to their dream.
But scientifically speaking, it has something to do with the REM sleep cycle. All humans, including infants and adults, have two stages of sleep – rapid eye movement (REM) and the non-REM stage.
As the name implies, there's a rapid eye movement underneath the eyelid in the REM stage and no movement in the NREM phase.
Your baby might smile, cry, laugh, jerk, or whimper in the REM phase. Since it's impossible to know whether that response came from babies dream, it's believed that when a baby smile or laughs in sleep, it's often a reflex.
According to experts, babies may twitch or smile during their sleep during a night of active sleep, and when babies go through this kind of sleep, their bodies create involuntary movements. These involuntary movements can contribute to the laughter when they are sleeping.
There have been signs that babies' laughter and smile can pose positive emotions. Babies also smile in response to sweet smell and taste.
It's also believed that while they're awake, their brains can record all their everyday experiences. These happy emotions felt from these experiences can manifest through smiles and laughter in their sleep.
Therefore, laughing while asleep is just part of the developing process of human emotions.
While the sleeping baby smiles are caused by developing emotions or the REM sleep cycle, babies have different smiles too. Babies have different smiles, so they have different meanings, and these smiles can appear at different milestones.
If your baby is smiling while sleeping, there's nothing to worry about. However, if you notice other symptoms like weight loss, trouble while sleeping, irritability, or burst laughing for no reason, that's the time that you should worry.
The occurrence of convulsive laughter episodes can affect your baby's rest, affecting the baby's health.
