I have very intense dreams of a spiritual nature, I do know I overcome many things spiritually through some of them. However others are just meant to disturb my rest and are not for the purpose of spiritual growth. Someone told me to place a Bible under my pillow, but I've found no help there to present date.
Can you give me tips on God centered ways to not have the ones which are meant to disturb my sleep, and not happen to help me through some spiritual delima in my life?

Sometimes toy can tell yourself "I'm not going to have a nightmare" before you go to bed, and that seems to work. It tells your brain to censor itself.

That's quite an interesting way of looking at your dreams. I always consider the ones that disturb my sleep as the real important ones. They should never be "wished away." After all, God is where our dreams originate.
Instead of trying to get rid of your dreams, why not learn how to analyze them, and figure out what God is telling you. Start by trying to understand the symbols in your dream, and how they relate to your life. Keep a dream journal, which includes as much detail as you can recal regarding the dream, and also what your interpretation of the dream means. It might help to either buy a dream symbol book, or look dream symbols up online, as you begin to interpret them.
Eventually you will learn how to interpret them accurately, and begin to see your own future, good and bad. You will also find that you are given reasons for why things are the way they are, and conditioning that will help you through the things that you can't avoid.
Good Luck.
Sincerely,
Chris

Putting a bible under your pillow is superstition and will in no wise help you with the exception that the fact that it is there makes you feel better. If you believe the bible is the word of God the blessing is in hearing and doing, not in holding.

with respect sweetie
as a non Christian may i say
that even in negative areas in our lives we can learn so much
we cant love fully until we have experienced pain etc
perhaps these dreams can help you in that way and are not as bad as they seem
