“Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others.detail wrote: ↑January 4th, 2021, 1:25 pm If the encryption procedure is social contact , this could be the truth.
My personal view could be expressed in the following wikipedia excerpt:
This was revised in 1983 by Crick and Mitchison's "reverse learning" theory, which states that dreams are like the cleaning-up operations of computers when they are offline, removing (suppressing) parasitic nodes and other "junk" from the mind during sleep.[85][86] However, the opposite view that dreaming has an information handling, memory-consolidating function (Hennevin and Leconte, 1971) is also common.
Emotional intelligence is generally said to include at least three skills: emotional awareness, or the ability to identify and name one’s own emotions; the ability to harness those emotions and apply them to tasks like thinking and problem solving; and the ability to manage emotions, which includes both regulating one’s own emotions when necessary and helping others to do the same.”

Anger for example is a very blunt emotion. It tells us that something is wrong. It could be that someone is antagonising us or that we are frustrated by having failed at a particular task. So while anger is useful at alerting us to the problem and motivating us to solve it, it doesn’t actually tell us how to go about resolving the dilemma. Anger could easily backfire by forcing us to overreact to a problem or perhaps by blaming the wrong factors. It’s difficult to consciously tame our ability to control anger as it’s such an intense emotion. But while we’re asleep we can get away with mishandling anger and rage because dreams aren’t reality. So dreams are a prime opportunity for us to hone and refine our emotional awareness on our sensations of anger and happiness. With enough emotional intelligence we can be more attuned to what specifically the anger is telling us and to restrain the anger to a proportionate extent. We could be better able to analyse our anger in the heat of the moment. Necessity is the mother of invention so in a dream we are compelled to find new ways to solve our emotional feelings and experiences. Emotional intelligence tends to increase with age. Anger is just one example of our many emotions that sleep could be improving. The weirdness of dreams can arouse our curiosity and makes us engage with their unusual plots and subplots. In a dream we are continuously being derailed by the subplots such that many dreams don’t have a definite conclusion. The denouement of the dreams occurs only after we awaken when we reflect on their subjective meaning and importance.
Subplot: a part of the story of a book or play that develops separately from the main story.
Denouement: the final part of a play, film, or narrative in which the strands of the plot are drawn together and matters are explained or resolved.
“A part of the brain called the amygdala is responsible for triggering strong emotions such and anger and rage, and is linked to our fight or flight response. Walker describes a sleep study in which two groups were shown images that ranged from neutral in content (a basket, a piece of driftwood) to negative in content (a burning house, a venomous snake) to a group of individuals who stayed up all night and another group who got a full night of sleep. It turns out, the sleep deprived individuals showed well over a 60% increase in emotional reactivity in the amygdala. The well rested group showed only a modest degree of reactivity.
Without adequate sleep, we produce inappropriate emotional reactions and are unable to put things and situations in the appropriate contexts.”
