Please do not confuse this for other threads related to dreams!

What I mean is, sometimes we see dreams about great personal losses, maybe loss of possessions or loved ones etc. I too get such dreams sometimes and I am unable to shake off of my the dreadful feeling thinking about the possibility of something like that happening! how do you deal with it?

One day I dreamt that I was being killed by someone but don't know by whom.I just got feared and just sit up and looked at the clock that it was 3 am.I just got too scared and told about my dream to my mom.She told me that just forget about it and go for your work.


As chinmoy explained it very well, I too feel that there is a deeper inner meaning to your dream...Do you know that dying in your dreams or being killed actually symbolises transformation and change which makes you insecure,it only means an end to the past and a new beginning...Normally you dream of such things when some major changes are happening in your life ..

By creative imagination, you may make a wonderful story like movie 'zanzeer' and post in articles section.
In most cases all normal dreams those one sees @hundreds or thousands every night, only bad dreams surface on our subconscious due to bad impact. Sharing them with others help reduce their impact for sure or talk to the person concerned on phone to come out of the bad feelings.


I think this is a good way, talking about them will probably help you forget them!


Not only forget but make sure they are fit and in best of health and every thing. That will take your bad feelings off immediately
I don't take dreams seriously they are dreams and let them be dreams only. We can't do anything with them except for forgetting them.


Except that its hard to forget when its a particularly unpleasant dream!!


Unpleasant things dreams or reality are hard to forget. :sick:

BTW I don't see unpleasant dreams too as I get up once the dream gets completed..hehehe. :woohoo:
I just forget the dreams as soon as I opened my eyes.So when I just see those unpleasant dreams I just opened my eyes and do some relax.
I often get unpleasant dreams... When my grandfather died I got a dream exactly the morning when the news came... But actually he died at night on the previous day. :(
So I am little bit sentimental about unpleasant dream but after that dream I often get such dreams about him who doesnt exist now.. So stopped thinking seriously about them now. Even I too get dreams that someone is killing me or beating me but I ignore them by diverting myself with pleasant dreams..
I too want a good solution to this problem as its little bit difficult to cope up with the feeling that comes after getting a unpleasant dream.
I often get very unpleasant dreams like some snake is coming to me or some devil is trying to kill me like that because i always become frighten and sleep as i alone sleep

Most of the so called unpleasant and disturbing dreams lose their impact after a while and we forget them quite easily in a few days unless some other memory triggers it...
When sleeping Iam afraid. After wake up only I get relaxed.
Our old persons say that we should tell unpleasant dream in front of water then nothing wrong will happen. I know this is a superstitious.
The latest study about dream is that these help us store in memory all events in day. If you do not dream, your memory will fade. Thus dream is a storage device.
I am getting many sweet dreams. So no problem. I am enjoying these dreams.
When i get unpleasant dreams, i just wake up and pray to hanuman and drink some water and sleep then no such night mares will occur.

I never try to find the meaning or prediction of dreams. So no worries for me.

They make no difference for me. Even if i'm jolted by a bad dream, i wake up and say to myself, "It's a dream" and go into my deep slumber in no time.
Whenever i get bad dream about a person, once i wake up i will make a call to them and i will talk atleast for 5 min with them. Once i talked with them, i feel relieved from that bad dream.
If your mind is already disturbed then it may so happen that any bad dream you get might further make you feel depressed and disturbed. But in the normal course , we tend to forget it almost immediately after we wake up and begin our routine work..
