Can't forget about my nightmare, what should i do?

Quit trying: People have a difficult time trying not to think of something. "don't think of a pink elephant, " is often cited as an example of this. So, if you are obsessed with thinking about your dream, therapy can be helpful. In addition, you might give up trying not to think about it. Accepting it and thinking about it is fine. After a while it will become boring. You'll move on without trying to avoid.

Dreams: I teach a class, No More Nightmares, with an original theory I developed, Planned Dream Intervention. Learning this skill teaches the sleeping brain that there is no such thing as a bad dream, so you end up sleeping through your dreams and the dream content changes over time. This is a 2hour class, not psychotherapy, and is a skill that you learn and have forever.

Talk about it: We don't really know exactly how or why we create specific dream sequences. Dreams relate to how our fears, wishes and experiences are consolidated in memory stores. Talk with and seek support from family, close friends, and your spiritual guides. Create artistic representations of the themes. If persisting, professional help is needed. Nightmares can indicate a sleep disorder or trauma response.
