LAtely I have been having very scary dreams. I am lately experiencing high anxiety, and wonder if this could be a cause of that. I struggle with the fear of a mental illness, and also scared of demons and things of that nature. The past couple of nights I have dreamed about both of those things, and it is very scary for me. It almost ruins my entire day. Does anyone else experience dreaming about their fears or just having plain WEIRD dreams that make no sense. I do that sometimes too. Responses would be greatly appreciated, I want to feel like im not the only one. Thank you all!

Dear Mallory,
These are just your fears coming out in your dreams. I have absolutely no fear of demons, since, the One who lives in me is much stronger than the One who lives in the world....

I suggest that you work on these fears, since, your dreams are your subconscious mind's way of telling you your fears.

As far as the fear of having a mental illness, well, that fear is also unfounded. You are NOT going to have any type of mental illness. You have a healthy body and mind, and you are going to be fine...I promise you...God Bless

Mallory, what has helped me get rid of nightmares and sleep better is listening to the relaxation tape right before I fall asleep so that relaxation, instead of scary thoughts, is the last thing on my mind before I drift off to sleep. Sometimes I'll just sleep with it playing continuously all night long. Those seem to be the nights when I sleep very soundly with no disturbing dreams. Give it a try.

Mallory,

Im new here but I can definitly relate to you and your dreams. I had one last night that had me so scared wehn I woke up in the middle of the night, I actually prayed. This affected me even on my way to work. But I used the breathing technique and it worked. Im jsut starting to use thetechniques with some degree of success. The dreams started coming for me aorund 4 years ago. Dreams of evil people etc. Also Ive had many dreams of events of thing that would happen the next day. Really freaky. I empathize with you. Be Well
