Anxiety Dreams
Anxiety, by definition,
is a state of uneasiness or tension caused by apprehension of possible
future misfortune, danger, etc.; worry. Anxiety dreams are those
dreams that are brought on by real life situations or feelings causing
anxiety. These dreams do not ordinarily occur if a person is not
overly concerned with something in real life.
Anxiety dreams may be
nightmarish in nature, but are not always nightmares. These dreams
are easily identified by the strong emotional energy that is always
present. It is essential to find the source of the anxiety in our
waking lives. Once this is done, the energies of the dream dissipate
and can cease altogether.
We can ask ourselves
the following questions:
1. Does my dream suggest
a practical course of action that could help reduce my anxiety or
allow me to cope with it in waking life?
2. Does my dream suggest
any people who might help me resolve my anxiety?
3. Does my dream suggest
an anxiety that is ill founded and unnecessary? Can I eradicate
these fears?
4. If my anxiety dream
is leading to an obvious real-life anxiety is there a way I can
change my waking life to eliminate this worry?
5. What does my dream
say about my personality as a whole?
Because anxiety is a
natural response to real or perceived dangers we can unmask symbols
in a systematic way to eliminate these anxiety-laden dreams. Answering
the above questions, eliminating the anxiety dreams completely also
help us learn and grow.
