I have unpleasant dreams, why is that?

I would really like to have lovely happy dreams, but it seems most of my dreams of being betrayed or hurt.

RE: Most nights

Hi Shazza,

The precise nature of dreams and the dream state is constantly debated and no one really knows for certain the full meaning of why and how we dream. Psychologists generally agree that in our dream state we are a) physically resting b) processing the details of our life/traumas and c) acting out things that would not be possible in real life to release emotions and tension. This could be in the form of violence, or nicer things like friendship, love and sex.

If your dreams are frequently about being betrayed or hurt then it is possible that these are emotions you are working through in your waking state,orthat they have relevance to a particular time in your life. Sometimes emotions are exaggerated in our dreams, possibly to draw our attention to them so that we can work through them on a conscious level. One thing that I've found really helpful is dream analysis. Often we'll wake up from a dream and feel awful because what went onin the dream was so intense and horrible. However, often when we interpret these dreams and look beyond the fear we find a positive message that helps us understand our present mindset.

Hope that helps you,

Azalia x

RE: Most nights

Hi there,

I found sometimes that i will dream about things that happen during the day IE if i feel hurt or someone has hurt me emationly i found that the dream i have that night has something to do with the way i have felt that day also how i am feeling, ie if you have a underlyning problem or emotion that you may not know that you have may be protrayed in your dream.

It is a bit like not wanting to watch a nightmare film just before you go to bed because of the negative image being repeated in your dream.

I found it helps if just before a fall asleep to think of something nice that has happened that day or a happy time in your life which has made you feel happy, safe and protected.

Another thing you could try is to visualise yourself on a warm carm exotic beach, with yellow sand beneath your toes, the warmth of the crystal water lapping at your feet or what ever you feel comfortable with, it does not have to be a beach, try to visualise yourself there, try to listen to the water laping or the bird sing.

Loveness and light
