Difficult dreams and night terrors which is often accompanied with waking in fright can often indicate some sort of traumatic incident that occurred in your life, either recently or even way back when you were a child. I dealt with night terrors. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy often tells us to adopt a role like that of a scientist investigating an issue. Record each dream then see if you can work out any issues that are present in your daily life that could be causing these dreams and the night terrors.
See lessIf you don’t remember the dream clearly, tell yourself before you go to bed that you will remember the dream, and have a note pad beside your bed to scribble down memories of the dream as soon as you awaken. I realise this could be difficult if you wake in terror, so sometimes counselling with a therapist can help. They may offer you sleep medication and I don’t particularly endorse taking medication to help you sleep. There are natural remedies that calm you before you go to bed, including herbal supplements like Valerian or Melatonin. Sometimes these are helpful. It also depends on the environment you live in. If you are living in a negative environment, this could also influence dreams and sleep. Is the room that you sleep in comfortable and filled with positive influences. Sometimes changing your room so that it is lighter can help; a positive wall hanging, or a pot plant, or even aromatherapy candles can influence your dreams and sleep more positively.
You might take into consideration your lifestyle as well. Do you have a balanced diet, and exercise, and have a good social group of friends. Sometimes this is difficult if you are a loner type of person. But being a loner and introvert is not a bad thing, so if you don’t find support from friends, you could watch a positive movie or read a positive book before bed, relax yourself and even have comfort foods. I’m a believer that foods can influence your dreams as well. If you’re not worried about putting on weight, comfort foods like pumpkin soup, or warm milk can calm you. A positive waking life often leads to a positive sleeping and dreaming life.
Is self-defense murder a crime?
Whether or not you can legally kill someone in self defence depends on whether or not the force you use is proportionate to the threat that you reasonably believe that you are facing. If you, reasonably, fear for your life because you, reasonably, perceive someone to be a threat then you would be juRead more
Whether or not you can legally kill someone in self defence depends on whether or not the force you use is proportionate to the threat that you reasonably believe that you are facing. If you, reasonably, fear for your life because you, reasonably, perceive someone to be a threat then you would be justified in using lethal force to defend yourself, so you could do so legally but if you kill someone due to them poking you then you will probably be done for murder.
See lessIf lethal force is not justified but pushing them away is then it would still be a legal act of self defence if you push them away and they happen to fall onto a spike that kills them.
