Motivation Tips
Question:
Please can you tell me where nightmares come from? Is there any need to fear them?
I have been having nightmares for some time I do not understand, as they are filled with violence and blood, and I am not a violent person.
Do the nightmares mean I am violent? What are they trying to tell me?
Answer:
Nightmares are usually the organism's way of processing some intense experience during sleep.
The content of the nightmare does not necessarily correlate with a similar real life experience; rather it is the emotional response that is similar.
So having violent nightmares doesn’t necessarily imply that you are violent under your social veneer, but more likely, the emotional reactions during your nightmares indicate the quality of some psychic trauma from your past that is now being released.
