You can't sleep at night. You find yourself tossing and turning. You're all alone living out the most horrific nightmare. You can't escape, because it's all in your head. If this is you, Expert Craig Webb from the Dream Foundation says you don't have to suffer anymore; you can do something about your nightmare disorder.
"I find that many people have been advised to try pharmaceutical approaches and that's really sad because it usually messes up the situation first. I encourage people to check out the web site www.nightmares.info, which is provided by the Dreams Foundation,"
Webb says.
A nightmare disorder does serve a purpose. Our bodies are magnificent machines that know exactly what we need. What you don't get out during daylight hours will find its way up when your body is resting, much like a therapy session.
"In short, nightmares are usually trying to teach the dreamer a lesson and help them avoid unfortunate situations in their waking life. If someone doesn't notice a lesson or message in their nightmares, then related scenarios may show up in their waking lives. Basically, their psyche or subconscious is speaking to them louder in a more severe way about the lesson. That usually shows up as health disorders, broken relationships, or jobs that end in unfortunate ways," Webb says.
If you find yourself having nightmares on a regular basis, you have to take action. It's the only way you can do rid yourself of them.
"Tough waking scenarios would be the result if we don't look at these types of dreams. There is a nice re-scripting technique on our website that shows people how to look for those dreams from one night to the next and have quite a bit of success. I always encourage people to read that," Webb says.
Each nightmare is specific to the person, and come up comes up for different reasons. If you and your neighbor both have a dream about dead family members in the same night, it will have different meanings for the both of you.
"Interpreting any specific dream in a dictionary kind of way isn't something that I support. There are some universal dreams that can help people interpret their dreams, but they should be used as a loose guideline. Dreams of teeth falling out are a bit more universal, but dead family members could symbolize the need to grieve the death of the person; or if they are not dead it probably has to do with a symbolic part of them, an aspect of their character represented by that person who's being forgotten. These character aspects or these parts of us could come back alive very quickly depending on what we do with the information," Webb says.
The good news is if you are suffering from a nightmare disorder, you can do something to treat it. A dream expert can help figure out your dilemma, and restful sleep will soon be on its way.
Combined two questions together-What can I do about nightmare disorders? And dreaming about dead family members.
