Hypnosis to Stop Nightmares
Stop Recurring Nightmares after one Hypnosis Session
A nightmare is a warning from the subconscious mind . It might signal a medical condition that needs to be treated , but it may also mean that you are ready to release pent-up negative emotions , negative scripting or trauma . Dream expert Patricia Garfield , author of Creative Dreaming , The Universal Dream Key and other books , tells us that most dreams are negative . I like what Robert Van de Castle says in Our Dreaming Mind :
Many people are surprised to learn that the majority of dreams are unpleasant . Since most people don ' t share dreams with others on a regular basis , they tend to assume that their own dreams are more negative , troubling , bizarre and unusual than those experienced by others . Knowing that other people often have disturbing dreams may be a source of relief to those who worry that their dreams may indicate some psychological disturbance or abnormality . But other individuals may use this information as an excuse to distance themselves from their dreams . ' I have enough unpleasantness in my everyday waking life . Why would I want to expose myself to further unpleasant events and emotions in dreams ?' they may say .
I would respond that by paying attention to the troubling events in our dreams , we improve our long-range chances of reducing stress and anxiety in our waking life . Dreams tell us things we need to know to function more effectively when we ' re not dreaming . They inform us about conditions which require remedial action and give us hints as to which plans might be most successful .
I want to tell you a story about a client of mine who stopped recurring nightmares after one hypnosis session - essentially taking charge of a condition that required remedial action , and how together we created a plan that led to a surprising and dynamic shift . Marion is an elderly woman who lives in an assisted care facility because she has MS . One of her caregivers called me to say she ' d been waking up at night frightened by recurring dreams about an angel of death . Sometimes she cried out , alarming staff members . They tried to console her , but the nightmares continued .
