I'll tell you my personal experience. I used to have nightmares for eight days out of an average of 10 days, and I couldn't sleep at 1 or 2 am every day. Later, I began to cultivate my mind and cultivate my nature outside. After exercising, I gradually stopped having nightmares or even dreaming. Even if I have it occasionally, I just had a dull dream, but I certainly won't have nightmares. But mainly by cultivating the mind. The key to cultivating the mind is to control the mind and not to think about evil thoughts. To work hard on this, there must be a certain method.
Three years without dreams and ghosts! I seldom have nightmares! I also read an article today, saying that the place where I often have nightmares may be evil in the room! I don't know if it's true or not! Suggest to find some Taoist spells to copy!
I believe many people have had nightmares. That's what I am. At the moment when I was awakened by a nightmare, the whole person collapsed and could not tell the dream from the reality. Sometimes I even feel that I have experienced a horror movie, because every detail in the dream, every frightening picture, is still vivid after waking up. We often say that we think about things every day and dream at night, so what is the reason for always having bad dreams?
Why always easy to have nightmares?
Studies have found that people who are weak are more likely to have nightmares. People who are uncomfortable in a certain part of the body or are not healthy as a whole will have more nightmares than those who are healthy. Nightmares are often early signs of certain diseases, especially nightmares with roughly the same content.
Secondly, people have nightmares because of psychological problems. They think about things every day and dream at night. If you have something that makes you uneasy and anxious, it is easy to think of these bad things before going to bed, so it is really easier to dream about these scenes after going to sleep. Because dreams may show all the pressure in your heart.
Incorrect sleeping posture is also a factor that easily leads to nightmares. If something presses on your body when you sleep, especially the position of your heart, it is easy to feel poor breathing in your dreams, or you will have a breathless nightmare when you cover your head with a quilt. Therefore, it is best not to let heavy objects press on the chest when sleeping, otherwise it will easily lead to chest tightness, poor blood circulation and nightmares.
How to improve the nightmare situation?
Although people's living conditions have been greatly improved, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, which leads to more and more pressure on people. Staying up late has become a common problem for people now. Whether you work overtime or stay up late because of playing games, it will lead to insufficient sleep time and easy nightmares, so you must adjust your sleep time and learn to release stress. Before going to bed, many people have the habit of watching TV, but it's best not to watch some scary novels or TV, which will make you fall asleep nervously and easily have nightmares.
Although everyone's sleeping position is strange, the correct sleeping position is the premise to ensure a good sleep. It is best to sleep on your side, not on your stomach or on your back, which will lead to chest tightness and pain. Don't eat spicy food or overeat before going to bed, which will affect the quality of sleep.
Get into the habit of stopping thinking before going to bed. Listen to euphemistic slow-paced music before going to bed, or learn to listen to the sounds of nature, such as rain and insects. Listening to natural methods will be a bit difficult at first, but you can learn it as long as you persist.
You can soak your feet with warm boiled water before going to bed, which is also a good way to keep fit. Soak your feet for twenty minutes every day until you feel hot. Soaking feet with warm water can relieve physical fatigue and promote sleep. But if you often have nightmares and have some uncomfortable symptoms, you should have a checkup as soon as possible.
In short, it is definitely not good to have nightmares often. Not only will you feel scared psychologically, but you will also feel mentally ill and physically tired. If the nightmare is caused by too much pressure, then you should learn to release the pressure, do something that interests you and keep a happy attitude. Don't eat too much before going to bed, don't put your hands on your stomach or chest, and don't let heavy objects weigh on you. Usually, you should exercise more, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and don't overeat, which can reduce the number of nightmares and relax your body and mind a lot.

Before the onset of angina pectoris, there are sometimes nightmares, accompanied by accelerated breathing, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure and emotional excitement, such as potential cardiovascular diseases, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and more scary nightmares.

Dream is a meaningful psychological phenomenon, which is formed in this way: the most primitive instinctive desires of each of us are often suppressed in the depths of our hearts and form the subconscious. Only when we sleep and relax at night does the subconscious become active and fluid, and dreams are born.
Therefore, dreams are actually telling your deepest thoughts.
Dreams don't come out of nowhere. They must come from your experience, which is closely related to your current or recent life and your inner state. In addition, dreams are also the satisfaction of some kind of desire.
Nightmares can help you know yourself better and realize yourself better: Why do you dream like this? What do dreams mean to you? What kind of inner monologue do you present? ……
Nightmares are mostly related to trauma, or represent some deep trouble.
Traumatic experiences in dreams all come from emotions that have been experienced repeatedly for a long time in life. In fact, the best dream interpreter is himself.
You should start to understand yourself and your life and solve your inherent or recent troubles instead of getting rid of nightmares.
I also want to know the answer to this question. I had a nightmare last night. I know this is a nightmare, but I can't wake up. I also had a nightmare the night before yesterday. I vaguely remember that it was the dream of doomsday zombies. I was trapped in a group of zombies, and I couldn't escape. There's nowhere to run. The scene is a narrow room with meat and vegetables. Meat is human flesh, and vegetables are variant vegetables. Someone is eating meat and eating it with relish. I fled from the fourth floor to the third floor and was chased all the time. Then I tried to jump out of the window, and zombies chased me ... scared me to death. I woke up in a fucking daze and couldn't help falling asleep. It's too difficult for me [covering my face] [covering my face].
Maybe it has something to do with things around me. I've been having nightmares recently. Then I saw a video two days ago saying it was related to the charger. The charger on the left is prone to nightmares and so on. My socket is on the left, so I always put the charger on the left and charge it at night, always dreaming. The night before I saw this video, my mobile phone was not charged, so I unplugged it and habitually left both the mobile phone and the charger on the left. Then I had two nightmares that night and didn't sleep well. I tried to put my mobile phone and charger on the right according to that video, and then I slept well that night. Although I had a dream, it was not a nightmare. If you are in the same situation as me, you can have a try.
