How do you deal with unpleasant dreams??

I dream too few and most of them are not worth mentioning. However people in our area believe that if you see some bad dreams about your dear ones; they always are in best of every thing, health, wealth and social life.

I have had such dreams which have caused me to wake up in fear in the middle of the night. The scariest are the ones where one dreams about a family member being hurt. Whenever I have such a dream I pray to god and thank God that it was just a dream. Moreover I keep a small book of Bhajans and Prayers that I have under my pillow.

But still those dreams persistently keep invading your thoughts when you are awake! At least to me it happens! So what do you do then?

Is it so? That's a relief!

I try to pray and say God ji.. Please jo bhi sapna tha let it be sapna only. You will be there to protect me i know. So be with me... and then i try to forget it..

You know it is said that if you dream about someone's loss (Death) then that is an indication that his/her life is going to be long and safe. :)

I least bother about dreams- good or bad. As long as dream lasts, I may feel good or bad depending on the situation. All ends with dream.

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.

I do see horrible dreams. I try to correct all my mistakes. I say sorry or do good to my dear ones. This is the only way I tackle my dreams.

Normally if I get some bad dream like seeing someone being sick or dead, suffering loss etc I always share it with my family or friends and also try to find out how that person is at present.

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.

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

That is one way of dealing with them!

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

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?

The only 'kick' I get from these dreams is the moment when I wake up ending those frightening spells! O,what a relief to know that are the mischievous handiwork of the pit of that that thing - what we call our subconscious mind!

Yes kalyani, if it is someone very close to you then it does make you feel very disturbed.When I lost my father a few years ago, I was very sad and took a long time to come out of it mainly because I couldnt spend enough time with him since I was too busy with my own family and we lived in different parts of the world.Later I would get dreams of him which would make me very sad and depressed ! But you get over it with time...

i also have dreamt several times...
But when I wake up, I really feel happy to think it was just a dream.

But it's told, if we dream about family members, it will happen to someone distant and also vice versa. i don't know if it's true or not :blush:

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.

Your mom gave you the right advice , none should attach much meaning to these good or bad dreams. As I have already said these are reflections and musings lying embedded in some parts of our minds and welling up in dreams occasionally.
