Nightmares and How To Manage Them!

@blossombreathe Woah! ❣ Thank you for giving this a chance to be talked about 💛 and for suggesting this method to help people manage and handle their nightmares 🌸

@Erato

Hey there lovely! I am glad you like the method me and @ConnorSmith presented, you're welcome. :3 I've had many nightmares recently and I'm hoping that it'll help me out! ^-^ *huggles* Thank you for reading!

@blossombreathe Thank you so much for sharing such valuable suggestions! I don't have recurring nightmares, but I did have some nightmares when I was younger. I just changed the position of the bed from the one in which I slept while I had the nightmare. And that's what worked for me, as I had pretty much less of them. And the IRT technique seems really creative and hopeful. Thank you ^-^

@QueenAsphodel

Hi lovely! Thank you for reading and you're welcome :3 Many of us have had nightmares in our childhood and it is intereting to hear that even by just changing the position of your bed can make a difference. I hope that you are having a good day and that some of these tips and facts will be helpful for you sometime. *huggles*

@blossombreathe awh, sweet of you to tags me's.

i'm not sure what i'd do for fun if it weren't grappling with demons :3

@bunnypants

Awe haha! Hope you're doing okie, lovely. :3

I've had recurring nightmares about my dad and my brother dying in a fire, but they ended themselves. This is useful information, because I have weird dreams every single night. Thank you!

@cooldinosaur

The nightmare about your brother and father being in a fire certainly sounds horribubble, I'm glad that they have stopped now. Everybody has dreams but most cannot remember them! Dreams are weird, eh? Thank you for reading and sharing, wishing you all the best!

@blossombreathe

Awesome!! thanks for tagging me!!

@sensitiveShade5337

You're welcome, lovely :3 Thank you for reading; I hope you have a good day! ^-^

This is a funny one for me, mainly because, 90% of the time I don't really dream. That said I have started to dream a little more since I got over my depression - which is kinda normal I guess but weird. Anyway. I have had recurring nightmares. Two in fact - though not at the same time. And both of them sort of "resolved themselves" and never came back. In both cases a dream started off in the classic way, like the nightmare, and then, for some reason, I am able to overcome the problem in it and just like that, they never reccurred again! I think it was more to do with the fact that I had somehow solved the problem they were pertaining to in real life though because I wasn't making a conscious effort to overcome the nightmares at the time, I never knew there WAS an actual solution! Will definitely try these tactics if it happens again!

@EJGatsby

Hiya! Even though you may not be able to remember your dream, we dream most nights! It's really weird, I know. It's really interesting to know that you've had experiences with recurring nightmares however they have solved themselves with time. It seems like once you solved a certain problem in your life, the dreams weren't as frequent. I'm glad you like the tips, I hope they come in useful for you sometime! ^-^ *huggles* Thank you for reading.

@sail46

It's good to hear that you don't experience any nightmares! *huggles* Thank you for reading, lovely.

I have very vivid dreams and plenty of nightmares. Only one is recurrent but, if I'm lucky, I only get it about once every few months (probably because of my insomnia, I don't get enough sleep to dream all that much!). I'd really like to do something about my nightmares but as they're so random it's hard to know what to do.

@LittleLotte

Insomnia and recurring dreams are hard to tackle! However, I'm sure that over time things will get better regarding sleep for you, lovely. *huggles* :3 Wishing you the best!

@blossombreathe I've kind-of learnt to accept that I'll never get any proper sleep without medication. I've been this way since I was a child and have tried everything to solve it, I guess it'll always just be this way.

@blossombreathe OMGGGGG LOVEEEEEE U guys are awesome!!!

@jollystrawb

Yay! I'm glad you liked this post, lovely. :3

Actually, about 18 years ago, before all this fancy technology, when I was diagnosed w/epilepsy, I had to stay a week in the hospital and they wanted to test my sleep patterns/dreams to see if that part of my brain was the origin of my seizures. They would give me sleep medicine of course and had a bunch of cords on my head to get the "electrical vibes" .. Anxiety/stress is a trigger for seizures as well as a nightmare so that's why they did that I guess. But they found them coming from the left temporal lobe which is our memory, concentration, and focus section I guess. If you can manage your anxiety and stress levels, it may lower risks of horrible nightmares and reoccuring ones.

@TransAm85

That's really interesting, lovely, thank you for letting us know! So, if you try to have a calmer lifestyle, recurring nightmares are less likely to trouble you. *huggles* Wishing you the best!

These are some really great tips! I'll definitely give them all a try :)

@Anggi

Vivid dreams are something I've experienced most of my life. Sometimes my dreams are just telling a story, but they're always intense, claustrophbic and lucid. Other times, I have nightmares that are terrifying and can merge with reality, as I slumber in this half awake/half asleep state. I can wake every half an hour during some sleeps, recovering from a new dream each time. The only thing that helps me is smoking weed before sleeping which seems to put me in a deeper cycle and allows me to dream without it disturbing my sleep and without remembering them when I wake up. I get the feeling they are all my supressed feelings manifesting when I'm unconscious, but it cann get exhausting if not managed. Anyone else have a similar experience?

@aWallflower07 YES! I never get into the deep sleep phase, I only ever seem to sleep for short periods of time (after spending hours trying to get to sleep in the first place) which means I just visit the dream state and have lots of highly vivid and evocative dreams, some very, very disturbing. Weed helps me a bit too but I don't have regular access to it.

@aWallflower07

I have gone through such nightmares, the one which I often have is - some people are running behind me. I don't know why. as it continues for a long time where I run the whole city escaping from them. As I continue to run I reach to bridge which is connected to reach the other end of the water fall. I continue to run on the bridge to hide from them. As I reachn in the middle of the bridge I get hit on my leg and I fell from the height. Shouting loudly and asking for a help I reach the ground thinking that I will die now and suddenly I wake up for my the nightmare for very few seconds and the fall asleep again in seconds, this for every half an hour to an hour. While I had to manage such nightmares and overcome from it. I came across a reinvented meditation method which helped me a lot, which is SOS method (Meditation reinvented) and I don't have such horrible nightmare. You can check out this one here: http://sosmethod.co/ rather then going with the weed buddy!
