Nightmares are a special gateway into the soul.
What’s in a dream? More specifically, what makes a nightmare different from a dream? A nightmare is a dream that scares. I’m not convinced that some people never have nightmares. Rather, I think they just don’t react to their dreams with fear and/or they don’t remember them. Either way, nightmares are a gateway into the deepest recesses of the mind.
Were you scared before…or after?
Nightmares may have physiological causes, such as being cold, being sick, or having indigestion. In this case, the scare comes after the condition. However, some nightmares occur during times of heavy stress. Those scares occur before the dream. So, sometimes, the conditions cause the dream, and the dreams cause the conditions. What they both tell us is what we’re actually afraid of, whether it’s literal or figurative.
For example, my wife had bad dreams about insects for the first three months we lived in South Florida. I swear, if she had known about them, she would have never agreed to move here. Me? I never minded them. Should I have told her? Well, then she would have started having nightmares before we moved. Now, she can tolerate some of them.
On the other hand, I always had terrible dreams of being chased by someone or something invisible, up until I accepted my fate as a psychic and stopped running from it.
What about the scares that show up out of nowhere?
These are the tricky ones. These are the dreams that show us what we fear but don’t know we fear. These could be karmic holdovers from a previous life. They could be deep-seated childhood fears never resolved. They could be someone else’s fears we’re now dealing with via psychic transference.
But once they come to the front of our minds, these terrible dreams stay with us. We recall them night after night. When we wake up, we’re not sure where we are.
This is where dream interpretation is especially helpful. Sometimes, a psychic can discover more about a person through their nightmares than their dreams. What kinds of nightmares do you have?
