Social media has become a central facet of modern life, with some individuals even using it for things outside of pleasure – like employment.
Since social media networks likely aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, it’s pertinent that people establish healthy boundaries and habits to safeguard mental well-being – such as limiting daily use, being more mindful of the content they consume, and taking breaks when feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
“With the rapid advances in technology and media, including artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality, along with the increasing dependency on these technologies and deeper integration, it is anticipated that dreams featuring technological and media content will become more frequent,” concluded Reza Shabahang, the study’s co-author.
“Future studies have the potential to expand the scope of this exploration, delving into areas such as nightmares related to the perceived dangers of AI.”
