醒来我们与我们的心脏狂放地摔打和我们全身拉紧并且准备做与坏蛋或跑掉的争斗-的恶梦-种类经常被体验如非常惊恐和令人烦恼。

许多想要尽快忘记他们的坏梦想。 他们没体会这些在他们的生活中可能是被错过的机会为充实。 分析梦想是一个有力方法不仅为处理的重音，但为我们的个人发展。

我们也许要求自己：

我是否看了或听见了坏的事回来困扰我？

我的梦想警告我关于是得到我的人？

我是否吃了为晚餐损坏的东西？

或可能有某事我这里不达到目的更多？

真相是，任一或所有这些，并且许多可能性也许是真实的。 梦想是把放我们更加深刻的自已在我们的了悟上屏幕夜间的成像和故事情节沙拉。 当我们睡觉时，我们神志清楚的头脑休息。 这允许我们不自觉的头脑空间嚼和消化任何问题我们忍受，但是不日间整理。

成份在这沙拉也许包括
-经验残滓从天
-记忆协会以那些经验那
在脑子同一个文件抽屉坐
-感觉相似与那些经验
-共鸣象拉紧的吉他串对相似
笔记从近期事件
-声音我们不自觉的头脑笔记，当我们睡觉时
-对未来的忧虑和恐惧

有不计其数的书为解释梦想。 这些也许给我们一些常规想法关于我们自己的恶梦，但只有我们我们自己可以说什么我们的特殊梦想意味。 这是，因为我们炮制了这成像沙拉在我们各自，个人生活外面独特的成份。

例子

从`Kate’， 35岁，单身父母亲工商管理硕士：

“我满身大汗曾经醒来了，有作梦我驾驶一辆汽车用我可能不再转动的方向盘”。

第一步在协助我们的恶梦不将写下我们可以召回的每细节和细微差异，省去图片映像点，感觉字符交换的词或者语调细微差异或者soundbyte在那个内在阶段。

“当我开始写，更多细节涌现了。 我不仅接近曲线，但有接近在相反车道的一辆大卡车。 我继续与不会转动的轮子战斗，害怕，当我的汽车横渡了黄线在卡车前面。 我想尖叫，但词不会从我的嘴出来。 I woke just before impact.”

Next, we can scan our memories for what might have been a leftover from recent days’ experiences that was dropped into the salad.

“I felt I was being driven by my financial needs to continue on a career path that I was unhappy to pursue. The atmosphere at the factory was terrible because I was being asked to do jobs that weren’t mine, due to several recent staff resignations. I was forced to stay late, compromising my duties as a mom to two young girls. I was having a hard time finding another job I wanted, and worried I could not hold up (might crash) under the stresses.”

Examining patterns from the past that might be similar, Kate realized:

“My father was forced into bankruptcy, due to a poor choice in business partners, when I was in my late teens. This severely disrupted our family and delayed my plans for going to university until I could pay my own way. I felt totally out of control when this happened.”

Sorting out the meanings of the dream, one can explore alternatives that one might have overlooked in the dream and why these blind spots might exist.

“I came to see I had struggled with the steering wheel but never thought of stepping on the brakes. The dream actually helped me understand that when stressed, I often felt panicky and out of control - when actually there often were choices I could make that would be under my control.”

The nightmare can then suggest new ways we might approach our life situations.

“I came to see that I could take a stand for myself and put on the brakes at work. I was lucky that the division manager was an understanding single mom herself and she supported me when I requested shifts in my duties.”

Kate also found ways she could deal with the heavy feelings of hurt, anger and resentment she carried from her father’s bankruptcy.

In short, if we don’t run away from our nightmares or push them back into the fog of unknowing in our unconscious mind, they can be a rich feast for understanding ourselves better and for discovering creative ways to improve our lives.
