RE: Controlling dreams – how I managed to overcome my repeating nightmares

in #psychology7 years ago

Getting control over your dreams, i.e. lucid dreaming is something one can learn. There are many techniques. Just google "how to lucid dream" or something like that. One of the most useful techniques (and something that I also find useful in general) is to write a dream journal every morning. At the beginning most people have a hard time remembering anything from their dreams but just be patient and keep the journaling up and eventually you will be able to remember an incredible amount of details every morning. You can use the material to learn lucid dreaming or to analyze your own unconciousness. Keeping a dream journal is a very worthwile habit. Have a nice day guys! :-)

Thanks for the tip. During the time I had the nightmare, I was remembering it very well and it was always the same or almost the same, but now I'm having a hard time remembering my dreams and a dream journal would be very helpful.

Yeah, you can even use a free smartphone app to do it so it´s really easy :-) and just don´t give up. at first it is really hard to remember anything, but with every entry in your journal - no matter how small - your "dream memory" improves!
