Do you ever go to bed with troubles on your mind?

Question

If so, what do they usually involve?

Answer 1

It's taken a great deal of discipline, but when I go to bed, I "empty" my mind of ALL adversities, & focus on the comforts; the goose down pillows, a pleasant book, my kitty purring under the blankets, the little amber lamps in the corners of the room. I used to wake up about every 15 minutes & "scribble" all the things I needed to do the next day. Wiped me out. It DOES take discipline, & then gets automatic. I've been sleeping beautifully for the last year & much better able to "cope" when I do get up. Truly! Try it. At the start, it isn't easy with all those little green demons swirling around in your head, but if I can do it, I betcha anyone can.

Answer 2

Things I need to take care of, people I am concerned about, stuff I forgot to take care of during business hours-these are the things that seem to float to the top of my mind once I begin to relax.
I find that writing down the tasks for a "to do" list for the next day helps, as does time spent in the Bible and in prayer.
Turning from worrying to praying is something that helps, and I am working on becoming more conscious of doing just that. I otherwise start to worry without intending to- not healthy.

Answer 3

Yes! That's when I have the worst dreams.

Sometimes, when I'm stressed out about work, or an assignment I haven't finished, I dream that I'm either still doing that assignment, or I wake up thinking that I have fallen asleep at work.

When I am really mad at someone, that anger lingers in my dreams. I have dreams ranging from fighting to watching myself die in my dreams. I once got in an argument with my mother during which she punched me in the face. That night, I was dreaming (this part is stupid) that instead of counting sheep, I was counting the letters of the alphabet, and instead of jumping over a fence, they were jumping through a window. I was nearly done, but when the letter Z went, a shard of glass fell down, and stabbed through it. From that point on, in my dream, I referred to myself as Z-heart.

Like I said, I have really weird dreams when I lie down with a troubled mind.

Answer 4

I worry alot about romance and wheather or not I will ever find my Love. I don't think about it alot during the day but at night those thoughts catch up with me. I think for me, it is because I go to bed alone and I wish I had someone laying next to me.
