Nightmares & Embarrassing Memories: Get Rid of Them!

Nightmares or bad Dreams

Having bad dreams is being human. Almost everyone has experienced one or more dreams that contain anxiety or outright fear. For some, unpleasant dreams or nightmares recur repeatedly; for others, the content may change while the theme remains the same, such as scenes of falling, or of being pursued or attacked, late or unprepared for a presentation or an exam, stuck in slow motion, unable to move or scream, or naked in public, to name a few common themes. This type of experience, when unpleasant, is usually associated with lack of progress by the dreamer to recognize and solve related conflicts in life.

So I am here to give some advices to get rid of them…Firstly I will tell you what to do when suddenly at night a nightmare woke you up:

• Stop thinking of it…don’t try to remember any part of it.
• Calm down. Take deep breaths.
• Feel strong, nothing and no one can hurt you. You are the boss here.
• Try to bring bright images on your mind, remember something funny, sweet or cute for example imagine a very cute kitty playing with a tiny ball…
• If still afraid of that nightmare pray to God. After that you can feel safe.
• Go down to the kitchen and take a glass of water, while going there sing a happy song and concentrate on its words so you won’t remember the bad dream…
• After that if you can not sleep take a book (but not with scary stories) or an mp3 player/iPod and let it distract your mind…

Now I am going to tell you things to do during the day:

• Do not ever think of your nightmares!
• Find a book of  your taste and read it on your free time.
• Horror films are not for you, avoid them.
• Find something that will keep you hands and mind busy and let your self relax when you have the time.

Embarrassing Memories…

It’s easier that you think to get rid of them. Just get a snap shoot of your memory and burn it in your mind. Yes it sound silly but no…imagine like a candle burns your image inch by inch and when you finish burning your image try to remember.Ha! you can not…it’s blur you may don’t even remember what was it about, your embarrassing memory…..

Thank you for reading, hope I helped you,
