i have been having bad dreams that are waking me up in the middle of the night,alomost daily, for over a week. i can not remember them all but the last 2 nights have have been able to...please help: dream1) i open an email on my personal account and there is mail from a work colleague saying: dear just try not to talk so loud..people can hear. tonight I had a simliar dream but more vivid: I was at work and my partner was waiting for me to finish. For a variety of reasonsI could not get to him in time and he left with out me; reasons including a feeling of intoxication, disorientation and getting stuck in an elevator that kept racing up to the 7th floor and back to the first andf up again with out stopping. when I emerged from the elevator, I was trying to call my partner on my mobile when a txt came through from him saying he had left without me and that I was just as bad as the doctor (he,nor I have ever dated doctors) I then went the bar (I am in a hotel where I work) and I sit and talk with some one who I dont know in real life but knew in the dream: i still felt drunk at this point when he said to me: you see you made the same mistake as (____not sure what name he used here) you just spoke a little bit too loudly...I am a very boisterous person and my charactor at work is not only well known but groomed as I need it for my position. I dont feel that these dreams are actually telling me to "shut up" ....i'm not agossip and hold a high and respectable position...can anybody please help me...I can not go another night like this?

Recurring nightmares generally mean that the dreamer is either not understanding the messages their unconscious mind is attempting to communicate, and/or is unable or unwilling to apply what they have learned in their waking life.

But if these recurring nightmares are preventing you from going to and staying asleep, I do not feel that this is the best time for you to be wondering about what these messages might be.

My advice would be not to self medicate yourself or do something that could potentially make matters much worse, but instead see your family doctor as soon as possible, not for him/her to prescribe sleeping pills for you, but rather to help you to deal more effectively with the already high levels of anxiety and stress you are currently experiencing.

Contrary to popular opinion, the human mind has an incredible ability to heal itself, if we can just cooperate with it by getting out of our own ways. The dreaming mind is like having your own inner therapist constantly on hand. For a dream to be of benefit to you it is not always necessary for you to be consciously aware of the messages contained within your dreams. Many dreams and their messages never reach consciousness, yet their positive benefits can still be felt if we can only learn to relax more and get a good night's sleep by natural rather than artificial or chemical means.

Trying to use drugs to help you go to sleep or depriving yourself of sleep will only push the fears and anxieties which gave rise to the nightmares that much deeper, where they will be even more difficult to get at. Out of sight does not often also mean out of mind?

Love, Light and Peace to you and your's,
