Do i purposely block out my good dreams?

Question

cause all i remember are nightmares. all the time... for the past 20 years.

Answer 1

I Feel you.

Our dreams are the communication between our physical and emotional worlds.

A high amount of nightmares constitutes unrest in our minds, fear... lack of control or worse.

I served in the Military 20 years in a command with high rate of combat/aggression related incidence.

for at least 16 years of that ... I have been dealing with horrible nightmares.

though I'm sure your life doesn't constitute this much agression it could show alot of feeling of little control and fear.

If you find this to be true... I suggest finding alternative ways to empower your mind.. as in... feelings of peace... even through prayer... meditation... even seeking help if it affects your life in such  ways as insomnia.

good luck.

Answer 2

I doubt that. Usually nightmares are extremely vivid and stick in our minds more. Also, if your nightmares are related to events in your life, then they can be triggered when you think about something. I would suggest getting a dream catcher. Though they don't really work, our minds feel comforted and therefore, the nightmares stop coming as often.
