Bram Stoker (you know, the author of Dracula), once said, “How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads. To
whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but
sweet dreams.” I wish I were among those people–although I’m not sure such folk actually exist, at least not every night.

The fact is, sometimes we have bad dreams, whether because something’s weighing on your mind, something’s lurking in your unconscience, or some image got seared into your brain without your knowledge.
So how do you chase away a bad dream? Some put up dream catchers, a beautiful Native American tradition that is meant to ensnare bad dreams before they can project on your sleeping brain’s big screen. Others take a less spiritual tack, and adopt better sleep hygiene in an attempt to calm the synapses into sweet sleep.
But this morning, I came across the sweetest idea on the always-amazing Color Me Katie blog. It seems she was having bad dreams, and decided that since rain always relaxes her, she’d create–with colored paper and tape, no less–a comforting rainscape on the wall behind her bed.
She reports no bad dreams since she put this up! Nice. Very nice.

Sometimes it happens that we see a dream which we forget as soon as we come out of it and some are like we never forget them. Now the universal truth is one always achieves success if they have the have a dream to become something.Now dreams can only come true if we work hard according to the desire we want to achieve.

Well, all my life I have had vivid,colorful dreams that I remember. every night. sometimes multiple times waking up. (photographoc memory as well) I have learned through reading books and studying dreams that there are different types. God does occassionally help you through dreams as well,showing you things you are not paying attention to in waking life. I’ve had two handfuls of my dreams come tru a year or so later. Through psychology I have read that Some dreams are “worst fear” dreams and won’t come true (unless you give into your fears)but shows you how to combat them. In the Bible God used dreams to guide some of the writers,to send messages. You can use your dreams for good, such as inventions,write abook. You quoted Bram Stoker..I was told just yesterday by a friend that she read that 90% of writer who write about vampires,dream about them. Dreams are a VERY useful part of life I believe the world as a whole should pay more attention to.

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve had the notion that flipping my pillow over chases the bad dreams away!
