Can I control my dreams?

Question

Last night I had a flashback from the past that I would rather not think about, but I couldn't control it because it happened in my dreams. Well, I woke up in a bad mood and have thought about the dream sporadically throughout the day. Is there a way I can control my dreams?

Answer 1

dreams are the sub conscience thoughts you have during the day. it's possible that you saw something that trigored that memory during the day, but you didn't even realize it. it's basically impossible to control your dreams, since dreams are the sub conscience afterthoughts of your day.

Answer 2

You can try relaxation techniques to help settle your mind before sleep, and sometimes this lessens the likelihood that dreams will be stressfull. However, if your dream is recurring and deals with an actual experience, it will continue until the subject matter has been addressed by your conscience mind.

Answer 3

Talking about the abuse to someone might help.A trusted friend or relative.Sometimes talking about things can help.Dreams are the way the subconcience mind can deal with issues.

Answer 4

Nope, but perhaps your dream is symbolizing somthing? I sugest you get a book on symbolism in dreams so that you can understand the dream better so that it can hopefully leave you.

Answer 5

I don't think you can control your dreams but you can influence them.  Resolve your issues the best you can while conscious so that when you enter the unconscious world you'll have that part of yourself to influence your dreams.
