And you won't! I read that little trick in a magazine and I've tried it for a couple of years now and it hasn't failed me yet! Something about your brain having power over your subconscience. <BR/><BR/>Fascinating painting, btw...never seen that before, but it is so powerful!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-33029526001849330042008-11-08T05:38:00.000-06:002008-11-08T05:38:00.000-06:00That's such a great idea, Stevie.

I think it's when you talk about them during the waking hours that it isn't so scary at night any more. I used to have dreams constantly about missing classes in college. I graduated back in 1994. I thought about it during the day and when the dream came up again, I'd think, "This is stupid, I already graduated. What do I care if I miss a class now?" And then I could relax. I didn't wake up, I just didn't get nervous in the dream any more. Then.. my mind caught on to what I was thinking, darn it.... I started dreaming I was missing a class for a Master's Degree! Lol.

My daughter suffers from nightmares quitea bit too, and we found out recently that she has restless leg syndrome and that might be the cause. Since she was a little girl she'd wake up at night crying that her legs hurt but the pediatrican could never find out why. <BR/>I'm glad thinking of your blessings helps!<BR/>Hugs, PatPat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-35188833243975047922008-11-06T20:52:00.000-06:002008-11-06T20:52:00.000-06:00You poor dear!

I don't have them often, but when I do, I'm afraid to get out of bed to go to the bathroom (plays havoc on my kidneys!)<BR/><BR/>I have recurring nightmares that I'm still at university and haven't done any of the work to finish the term and I'm trying to get to the registrar's office to get taken out of the course.

The kind that make me sigh with relief when I wake up. I dreamed just last week that an envelope arrived in the mail with a survery of my home. I was pleased until I saw the $1,000 invoice attached to it. Then panic set in. Boy was I glad to wake up and find out none of that invoice was true!<BR/><BR/>By the way, an award awaits you at the birdbath...Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810442216887536113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-43336648624777811272008-11-06T20:19:00.000-06:002008-11-06T20:19:00.000-06:00I think I would of been afraid to fall asleep.

Before I knew I had two half brothers I dreamed for years that two little dark haired boys were taking me to see my biological father. We were always going down a huge set of stairs. When I was 22 I found out I am half Arabic and truly have two brothers. I have always thought that was freaky.nanatrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710834330081243962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-24837049264986665662008-11-06T14:37:00.000-06:002008-11-06T14:37:00.000-06:00As a parent I am very thankful that we've had to d...As a parent I am very thankful that we've had to deal with nightmares very little; they have been occasional but rare.<BR/><BR/>Waking up from a scary dream in the dark, in the middle of the night is awful.<BR/><BR/>Your mother (and God) gave you wise counsel.
