How do you get over a bad dream that is stuck in your head?

Question

Last night I had a bad dream and this might sound kiddie-ish but it was creepy. What should I do to get rid of it and what could it mean????

Answer 1

I've had similar "creepy" dreams. About the only thing that works for me, is to acknowledge the dream. Something as simple as saying to yourself, "wow that was weird." And then putting other thoughts in your head. Dwelling on the dream give it validity. With acknowledgment and movement from it, you will forget all about it, and have more power over it the next time it happens.

Answer 2

Dreams are said to be your subconscious figuring out everything that is going on in your life and in your head.

Bad dreams then are just a way you see something negative going on in your life currently, just don't worry about it and it will pass.

I suspect i would have a lot of bad dreams as i suffer from depression but i never have vivid dreams or dreams i remember when i wake up.
