Re: My crazy, crazy, crazy dream
Often our dreams, especially the more vivid ones, are sort of molded around the anxieties or worries that we have at the time. My youngest used to be troubled by dreams - really nightmares. He'd come into our room in the middle of the night and wake us up to tell us that he "had a dream." grrr...
But, the little guy was obviously troubled by it and he couldn't but help to feel sorry for him. So, once when he was describing a dream - (being chased, falling, dinosaurs, the works) I had the idea to tell him that the next time he had a bad dream he should pretend that he had sword that could cut through anything. It cut cut through walls, dinosaurs and etc.
And it worked! A few weeks later he told me about some dreams he had and how the sword helped him to have power over "the bad guys." In effect, I introduced the concept of lucid dreaming to him. His mind began to learn how to take control of the troubling images in his subconscious and he had power and control from then on.
No more waking us up late at night. He could slay his own dragons now.
