Nightmares can be disturbing, making us worry about their possible manifestation in reality. Luckily, our ancestors shared various practices to prevent these terrible dreams from becoming reality. SSPDaily has learned about these techniques to make it easier for you to wake up in the morning.
How to forget about the dream
- When you wake up from a nightmare, immediately turn your attention to something else.
- Look out the window or focus on a light source. It can be, for example, a flickering candle or a regular gas burner.
If you want to interpret the dream later, write down the main aspects of the dream on paper. In doing so, you should also take into account the specific day on which it occurred to enhance its contextual meaning.
What to do to stop having nightmares
- To avoid recalling the nightmare often, turn your pillow to the opposite side and sleep on it for two nights in a row.
- If the nightmare continues to haunt you, tell someone you trust about it.
- Decorate your bedroom with the protective charm of a dream catcher amulet. This talisman wards off negative dreams and prevents them from coming true in real life.
