"Singer709" wrote in message m... I need some advice about a recurring nightmare involving my beloved Vanilla, now at Rainbow Bridge. So you'll understand, I have extremely vivid dreams that are highly realistic and strong. Therefore when I have nightmares, they are doozeys. If I take too much of certain medications I will have very vivid, bordering on nightmare dreams. There is a possible way to get rid of this particular dream if it is coming too often. I had to do it after a car accident that reliving it was taking over my life. I went to a therapist who used a process similar to hypnosis to redirect my train of thought when ever the accident would intrude. That instead I would switch to thinking about a place I enjoyed as a child. May all you dreams be happy ones, or at least properly entertaining. Jo |

When I stopped taking an MAOI a couple of years ago-- yowza. I was seeing people and things I hadn't seen since infancy.

I went to a therapist who used a process similar to hypnosis to redirect my train of thought when ever the accident would intrude. EMDR? That's what I thought, too. I tried that a couple of times - did nothing for me. But I'm thinking that maybe the person I did it with didn't know what she was doing. Sometime I'd like to try it again. I actually don't mind having nightmares. I mean, if I had horrible ones night after night, causing me to lose sleep and develop anxiety and stress, that would certainly be a problem. But if I occasionally have an intense bad dream, I actually find it fascinating rather than upsetting. Such dreams tell me a lot about myself. I have a lot of recurring dreams, too - sort of "theme dreams" that I get sometimes 2 or 3 times a month over a period of many months or even a few years. When that happens, the dream usually progresses over time, with certain things happening slightly differently each time, often moving toward some kind of resolution. I think it's an interesting process. Well, interesting to me, anyway. I have discovered that nobody else is as fascinated by my dreams as I am. Joyce |
