- What is really important? First, when you wake up after having the nightmares remind yourself that it was just a dream. Make a decision not to have it again. The dream originates in your mind. So, you do have control over it. Much more than you realize. Then, before you go to sleep each night. Think about something pleasant. Like a very nice place you have been. Something that you have pleasant but not emotional charged feelings about. And, think I would like to dream about something very nice tonight. Now, I almost never have nightmares unless I'm under a lot of stress or in fear for some reason during the day. I mostly have very pleasant dreams or none.
- While you're awake, try to visualize and recreate the nightmare in your head so that you are the one that comes out victorious. If you are a religious person, keep an opened bible in your room or on your bed. Just remind yourself that it's a silly nightmare, it's not real cause when you allow it to prevent you from sleeping it becomes real and that's not healthy so be brave and when u feel a nightmare coming on, control it cause it's your dream, and you have the power to determine whether or not it becomes a nightmare.
- Drink water, and overturn the nightmare. Create a happy ending (exact opposite) of the nightmare and while you're at it, you'll fall asleep. Also, avoid wearing tight clothes when going to sleep. Difficulty in the circulation of blood when sleeping usually causes nightmares.
