HOW TO DEAL WTH NIGHTMARES: Visualise yourself, as vividly as you possibly can, confronting the source of your fears in the dream, demanding: "What do you want? Don't bother me again! GO AWAY!!!" This should be done every night, just before you turn off the lights, and I would reinforce the message to the part of my mind which is not conscious, but controls dreaming, by writing down three times, also just before bedtime: "Tonight, I want to confront my fears in my dreams!", and then say it aloud three times, and it is important to want it very, very much, as you do so. Repeat until you notice your dreams changing, and then again if the problem recurs. For females in particular, it may also be beneficial to undertake a course in self defence, as the mental control techniques learned can help reduce fears in waking life, and this may well carry over into the dream state. In those situations in your dreams when you are tied down, or powerless to resist, as with alien abduction, it is important to protest vehemently "You have no right to do this: STOP!!!", and struggle as much as you can. Certain foods, usually eaten late in the evening, such as cheese, or even chocolate for some people, can trigger nightmares, so try avoiding them for a while and see how it goes, then eating them earlier, at least 6 hours before bedtime. Second - DREAM ANALYSIS: Apart from hypnotherapy (which works much better on those people who are suggestible, and not so well on those who are untrusting, skeptical, highly self directed and/or cynical), or psychotherapy, there are the techniques of dream analysis and dream direction. It isn't quick or easy, and requires discipline and perseverance. It took me several months of keeping a dream diary at my bedside, and forcing myself to get up and write down every dream that I had, in detail, including emotions and colours, even going to the extent of setting an alarm to wake me up after a few hours, when I would most probably be dreaming, just so I could get out of the habit of sleeping straight through, and rarely being able to remember more than flashes of detail here and there. Then, as soon as I woke up in the morning, I performed an exhaustive analysis of each dream, asking myself various questions about the elements of it: what did the horse do? what did the bull do? what did the horse want? How did it feel? What colour was it? What was its relationship to the bull? Then I would say to myself: "You are the horse; describe it."And so on...... Then I would perform my first analysis of that dream, while it was still fresh in my mind, returning several weeks, then several months later, with more experience under my belt, and greater knowledge, from having read more books on the subject, to review and add to, or correct points here and there. Dream direction is about communicating with that part of your mind which is not conscious, but which has enormous power to shape your emotions and actions, and is best done by means of visual imagery. You have to imagine as vividly as you can, what it is that you want to dream about, and really, really want it very much (not what you don't want to dream about: it doesn't cope well with negatives). For example, if you have been experiencing dreams that you are falling, I would advise saying loudly a few times to yourself before turning off the light " Tonight I want to fly in my dreams!" and visualise in your mind's eye yourself initially falling, but quickly opening your dream wings and flying, as strongly as I could, and with as much desire as I could muster. I would even go so far as to raise my arms and flap them, simulating a bird flying, to better communicate that muscular memory of what I want to my unconscious mind: this may seem silly, but the unconscious is that part of you which existed before you were the educated, civilised person you are now, before you learned to read and write; before you even learned how to talk, and it doesn't operate on logic and rationality: you need to learn how to communicate with it in terms it can understand! I found the work of Fritz Perls on dream analysis quite useful, though dated, but based on rational scientific principles, and suggest going to the psychology section of your library, or your local bookshop, or online to Amazon.com Some links that may be of help are: http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionar... and http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dream and http://www.freakydreams.com/freaky.htm and http://www.dreamdoctor.com and http://www.lucidity.com/ and http://www.why-we-dream.com/ and look in the Yahoo Directory for dream interpretation.
For me, violent nightmares were my body's way to wake me up because my blood sugar was getting too low (hypoglycemia). I was really tired at work too, along with other symptoms.
Before you go to bed, like about 30 minutes before, eat a small snack. I suggest 1-2 oz of turkey (triptophan - spelling approximate), a cracker or a cookie, or if you are concerned about your weight - a low glycemic carbohydrate (like an apple) and some nuts - almonds or peanuts are best. This is a recipe for some slow burning energy that will help level your blood sugar out for the night.
If this works, and you should know it in about 3 days if it will, you may want to check out the web for more info on low blood sugar, its causes, and things you can do about it.
Try Yoga.
sorry, that does suck....But you should get a book on dreams because the stomach being squeezed could meen issues with a child or something related to children in your life....What I would do keep a pen and paper near your bed and try and write down as much as you can remeber when u wake, then look in the books (don't just use 1 becuase there r many diff answers to the same problems)
I went to school for Psych but never followed through after but you obviously have some major issue in your life and your subconcious, but it's just you and your mind which you can deff figure it out and get past it!
I agree that Yoga is great (both pysically and mentally), but don't think it will help with this?? but I could be wrong.......
good luck
