How to Control Your Dreams
No one wants to feel afraid and no one should have to. People are at their best when they are happy. Dreams that hurt, hurt in more ways than one.
How can anyone get a good night’s sleep when they've had a bad dream?
How can anyone be productive in their day when they’ve had a bad dream?
How can anyone’s sleep be sweet if they are too afraid to closed their eyes?
Here’s the good news: you can control your dreams. Once you understand how to control them you may not want to wake up at all, but if you do, you can do that too.
Here’s how to wake up;
- Gain the right perspective and know that dreams are just dreams. They are not your reality – unless you allow them to be.
- Use your head and not your heart. Our emotions can fail us and often do. Our brains are smart and make decisions based on fact. Once you understand that dreams are not your reality, you can change the way you think about them. Instead of thinking of them as uncontrollable, think of them like a movie that a good friend of yours wants you to watch. Whenever you want to can change the channel you can. You control the remote.
- Be conscious while you sleep. If you are a parent or have been responsible for caring for someone important to you then you know that you don’t fully sleep while you are watching them. If the infant cries while you are sleeping, you wake up to attend to their needs. If a burglar attempts to break into your house, you’re out of the bed in moments. A part of you remains alert and awake. To sleep is to be in a state of unconsciousness. The good news is that you can choose how deeply you want to sleep. Be a caretaker of your own soul when you sleep; go to sleep slightly conscious and remain in control just in case you need to wake up.
