What should you do if?

Question

You are having re-occuring dreams? How can you stop them? Or do they just go away on their own?

These re-occuring dreams are of sexual abuse I have experienced in the past.

Answer 1

Try to remember the details of the dream, and write it down. Each time you have this dream, write it on a different piece of paper. Then, after a while re-read them and see if anything has changed. If the dream is a disturbing one, talk to your doctor about it. If not, and it's just bugging you, look up dream analysis, and see if that offers you some explanation. Another idea, change the position of your body when you sleep (try sleeping on your side or on your back or whichever way is different than your normal way). Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Freud said dreams were a harmless state of psychosis, i.e., the id was running wild, while the ego was asleep. However, he also stated, there was meaning to the dreams, not just "noise" as some contend. Furthermore, according to Freud, dreams were often quite symbolic, and should not necessarily be taken literally.

I have a number of reoccurring dreams, that have been with me for decades. In one of them, I am facing a final exam in a mathematics course; I have not attended for months. I am quite upset by my situation.

My speculation is, my dream has to do with fear of not exercising due diligence in life, i.e., time is moving along and I am not giving attention to where it is needed.

My speculation is, your dreams reflect, there is much to be resolved regarding your past sexual abuse. You still need to de-energize those events. Time alone, will not heal those emotional wounds.

Answer 3

Find the pattern. When you are awake swirl the thought around in your head. Analyze it. mentally twist it out of proportion, or actually solve or confront the problem- if there is one. If it is a recurring theme like falling etc. before you sleep think about that, and will yourself not to be affected, DONOT sleep immediately after you eat, or take caffeine or alcohol close to your sleeping time. Sleep on your side, this helps a lot, rather than with your face up.

Answer 4

Try out different things go to new places meet new people. Dreams are all to do with the things you see during the day all mixed up into one. Then some become reoccuring. So getaway for a few days

Answer 5

First, find out what the dream is about. Someone might be relaying a message, or it might be a cautious message for your future. I hope it helps you at that stage.

If it continues to happen, there are doctors who specializes on these things. NOT a shrink per se, it DOESN'T mean you're nuts. Sleep Experts are worth consulting.
