FIRST OF ALL A DEFINITION OF NIGHTMARES

It are dreams which existence from living pictures, that brings large fear , from what the dreamer becomes awake off and to what he/she has detailed memory's off. In the past they thought these dreams were motivated by the demons or bad spirits. " Freud" had the idea that nightmares become if the censor " the keeper of sleep "went out . The censor was considered to take care of wishes not to come in, but sometimes the censor functions not well with the result another nightmare coming. "Jung" considered the nightmare especially as a compensation for a too large unconcern during daytime and the unconscious gives it the right balance back.

That emphasis on the compensatory character of your nightmares you can read about nowadays, but in some other form. People thinks nowadays that its sinful to see the nightmare as a part of yourself that must be heard off. This way the dreamer can stand open for the aspect of themselves that they haven't allowed to be aware of because of the threatening of it . Such a confrontation can take place in the dream where you plan yourself to dream a similar situation , and then you can ask the "dream " or monster or whatever is scaring you , what kind of intention he/she has with you . It is possible also at daytime. By once examining what kind of aspect of yourself inspires your fear or by proposal you return to your nightmare and ask to the intention element of it.

However there stays the option that the nightmares are playing part for the role to deal with emotions , stress, or pain. The nightmare plays then possibly a similar role as telling the tale of what you have to deal with and can give it some place in our lives . After course of time then the nightmares will get less or changes character.
