The jolt of fear and terror felt as we run for our lives to escape danger quickly
eases us back into consciousness in bed to help us flee the dreamscape.
Nightmares tend to creep in and out at night in our lifetime, primarily during
childhood, but why do they happen in the first place? Do we ever outgrow bad
dreams?

working differently (certain parts of the brain become dormant while others
become highly active), so instead of thinking in literal terms and words you are
thinking in pictures, symbols and emotions... metaphors! Loewenberg said.

realization of how fast time is going and the young, needy child we love to cuddle
and care for is dying off and a more independent child is emerging.
Like death, murder is about an ending or change, but with a forced ending. We
often tend to dream someone is trying to murder us when we are feeling
pressured to put an end to or change something either about ourselves or our
lives. Loewenberg uses the example of when a relationship has ended or when
theres a pregnancy; the pregnancy forces a dramatic change in our behavior.
However, the causation of nightmares can be tied to a difficult issue from long
ago. One of Loewenbergs clients had nightmares her husband would leave her in
a dark, frightening parking lot at night, or that she was being attacked in a war.
The client was in a happy marriage, financially secure, and healthy. But it turns
out, she was abused by both her parents as a child and made to feel unloved and
unwanted. She never got help with her childhood trauma and learned how to
process it so those feelings and memories were pushed down, Loewenberg said.
Like the client, unresolved conflicts dont go away, and shape our personality.
Childhood trauma can lead to feelings of insecurity or constantly seeking
validation, and feel like youre constantly under attack if you receive criticism.
This suggests our life experiences, both past and present, not only have an
influence on our lives but in our dreams as well.
In order to have a better grasp of our dreams, we must begin to address the
issues that plague us in the day. We talk to ourselves all day long while awake.
That doesn't change when we sleep, Loewenberg said. She advises, the better
conversation you have with yourself while awake will ensure better dreams at
night.
