Nighttime is the time to sleep and rest the restless mind. But for some going to bed is the beginning of their greatest problems. What I’m talking about here is nightmares, the scary and violent dreams that have us jumping out of bed and straight out through the window. But because dreams of terror and violence can lead to a miserable life in grown ups it is important to stop nightmares in adults.

A lot of the nightmares out there, if not all of them, are caused by stress and depression. Stress and depression lead to restlessness that extends straight into our subconscious. Now, how can anything positive come out of stress? Other causes that have been listed are post traumatic stress; anxiety; alcohol abuse; pregnancy; psychiatric illness and fatigue. Therefore treating nightmares is all about treating these trigger factors.

Exercise and positive meditation will surely ease stress levels. Exercise has the overall effect of getting rid of any tensions caused by stress. Believe it or not but the increased circulation of blood around the body definitely increases the supply of oxygen to your brain, more oxygen to the brain means less stress. That’s why drinking a lot of water can help.

Meditate positively on your life. Sit down and write down the nature of your nightmares. Usually nightmares stem from unfinished business in our lives. Then you should try to reverse your thoughts and focus on your nightmares in a positive light. If you’re always dreaming about being arrested you should think hard about staying out of trouble.

Post traumatic stress is best dealt with by making sure you don’t expose yourself to the source of traumatic stress. Avoid using a certain road if that’s where you lost your family to a car accident. This way you won’t dream about such events later on in the day. But the best way is to just face your greatest fears because sometimes there’s no way of running away from sources of trauma.

Condition your mind into having happy dreams. And whilst this might seem impossible it is as possible as it seems. Try thinking about your dreams with a better and more positive ending. Once your mind starts thinking like this it will be very easy to transform the nature of your dreams.
