Nightmares

(1/3) > >>

Redhead Erin:
I think I have nightmares every time I go to sleep.  I think it has always been this way because I never ever remember waking up from one nice dream.  They almost always have something to do with my mother's house, or being chased, or losing someone I love. 

The way I cope with this is, I avoid sleeping. I keep myself a little bit tired all the time, so when I sleep, I sleep so deep that I dont remember what I have dreamed.  Because whenever I do remember, it sucks and I wish I hadn't.   

Does anyone else deal with this?

Guest:
I used to Erin, a lot. Not any more, or very rarely, do I have nightmares. It's taken a long time though. I sleep better now but I do remember doing what you say - being half asleep a lot of the time. I guess it's another way of coping.

Hi Erin,

Off and on over my life, I've had nightmares.  Bizarre things like open caskets with the corpse in them going up hill against the water flow of the water.  It was a stream with lots of obstacles.

Now when I have a nightmare, I do my usual review of, 'what did I eat yesterday and did I change medications i.e., did I add something new?)  I have to keep a careful watch even when I take supplements.  I suppose my system is extra sensitive to certain foods and medications.  This may not apply to you.

Hey Erin,
I have had plenty of nightmares over the years. They can be scary, even jolt you out of your sleep. I think thats what makes them standout more in my memory and easier to remember in the morning than normal. Subconsciousness working its way out....

Dunno where my post went but Erin, I felt very said when I read this.

I'm hoping your subconscious will soon have completed what it's processing and release you to

PEACEFUL
dreams....
