Bad dreams last a little longer
Everyone has a bad dream now and then but what happens when Matt has a bad dream is he brings it with him and creates a not so good day sometimes for many days.
We have all been there bad dreams are no fun and sometimes they jar us awake and some times we stay asleep through a lot of the bad parts, sometimes we are grateful when we wake up and realize it is all just a bad dream and sometimes we are not so luck and we bring it with us through out the day the feeling of the bad dream just lingering.
For Matt a bad dream means days and days of pain, sadness and depression. No matter how much we try to remind him that it was just a dream and that he is okay.
What is it about dreams that keeps us stuck in its thought? What is it about a dream that we just cant or wont let it go, especially the bad ones?
A dream becomes a very big part of our lives even if we know they are just dreams we allow there meanings to become something, we want to tell others about all the bad that happened, we want others to be a part of it.
A good thing that I do for letting go of a dream or for seeing a message I be needed to see in it, is I write it out, yes write it out as much detail as I possibly can, so when Matt has a bad dream I tell him to go write it out to help get it off his mind to help him be productive and release the hold the dreams has on him.
Yesterday he began writing it down and once he begins he stays at it till he is finished even if he has to take a break for bed time, he takes it back up the next morning sometimes it helps him begin writing a story again with more details, which is really great because he gets so busy thinking about what he is writing he forgets how bad he felt about the dream and that is a really good thing.
Dreams are just dreams bad or good they are just that so find out what you need for them and let them go, find a way that works for you but let them go.
