Dreams reflect the real state of a person's life. In good health, people's dreams are pure and beautiful. In adversity, one often sees chilling, ominous nightmares. The reason lies in the structure of the psyche, a feature of which is the transfer to sleep of all events experienced during the day.
Scary dreams debilitate a layman in the following situations:
- during all kinds of ailments;
- in depression and nervous breakdowns;
- during periods of stress;
- with excessive physical activity;
- in family troubles;
- upon loss of work;
- when using alcohol or drugs.
A bad dream can also be caused by poor conditions: a hard bed, a cold or very hot room, stale air, a noisy background.
For a long time, Orthodox prayer for bad sleep has served as salvation for sensitive Christians. It is quite natural to ask for help from the Lord, who created the universe and humanity out of great love for them.
Who to pray for bad sleep
At all times, people have tried to unravel the mystery of dreams. Interest in the work of the subconscious has not yet dried up among scientific researchers. Many people take dreams as an intervention from the Upper World, a warning about something important. This is not entirely true. Sound, healthy sleep is a gift from God. To find it, the church suggests praying:
- Guardian Angel (m-va is in the evening and morning Rules);
- Jesus Christ;
- Holy Mother of God;
- St. Irinarch (Rostovsky);
- 7th St. youths (of Ephesus).
Thanks to them, psychological overexcitation, the effects of excess food intake, and illness are normalized. Prayer is suitable for calming children at night when their parents are taking care of them. In some isolated cases. But if bad dreams bother you regularly, you need to look for and eradicate the source of the problem. You will understand what it is, what it depends on, why it happens, then you will find a method that eliminates the negative.
Prayer for bad sleep to Jesus Christ
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.
Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, souls ours.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Three times, with the substitution of the cross and a bow from the waist.)
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.
Lord have mercy. (Thrice) Glory, and now:
Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Note: The Holy Fathers advise treating dreams as images of death and resurrection.
While the body and consciousness are inactive, we see the essence of the soul, its state. An attentive person will understand whether he has moved away from God's grace or not.
Evening rule before bed
They say that only people with a clear conscience are able to sleep soundly. Therefore, we can say that night's rest is a kind of spiritual barometer. It directly depends on the spiritual state of a person. Sound sleep is a blessing from the Lord. In order for the night to pass peacefully, believers must read the prayer rule in the evening. If you don’t do this out of laziness or carelessness, it will be difficult to relax and drive away bad thoughts.
Many who come to the temple notice that the holy words are a good help against nightmares. Just as people nourish their bodies with food, so they must nourish their souls. And only the Word of God can satisfy it. Unfortunately, several generations of Russians grew up outside the faith and traditions of their ancestors. Therefore, they have lost the habit of correct spiritual life and are forced to learn it again. But everyone quickly remembers higher powers when trouble comes, or when something bad is imagined while on vacation.
How does the evening rule help?
- Strengthens communication with God;
- Calms the nervous system;
- Helps you focus on what’s important;
- Drives away bad thoughts.

Before reading, you need to close the door to your room and stand in front of the images. If you have one, light a candle or lamp. Slowly read all the prayers and, where necessary, make the sign of the cross and bows. In the evening you can make prostrations (except on Sundays and major holidays, when they are not required).
What is sleep
Physical rest is necessary to restore the vitality of the body.
And although the body and consciousness turn off during sleep, the work of the brain (subconscious) continues without the need for it. This indicates that there is a non-corporeal function that lives according to other laws. The saints call it the soul. She never sleeps. Freed from the heavy shell, control, willpower of the individual, driven by what constitutes her true character. An experienced ascetic can determine the spiritual state of the person under his care based on the content of his visions. Keep in mind: events and objects in a dream are a world of symbols, it differs from images in reality.
They cannot be interpreted as real. This is a coded message that most people cannot understand. Based on the biblical stories, we see: only a few (1%) people possessing certain qualities that are not found in us, simple sinners, had the ability to interpret.
Note: Sleep is a sensitive indicator, a barometer of the spiritual component of a person. Whether they are good or bad is a signal of what the soul is doing. After death, when the body separates, there will remain an entity that is not controlled or controlled by consciousness. What is it filled with, with such baggage will the “man” appear in the other world.
Evening prayers for bad dreams
It is known that people tormented by nightmares often lose sleep altogether. A good prevention against bad dreams and insomnia would be evening prayers for the coming sleep.
They will calm the nervous system, give bright thoughts and light dreams. By praying to the Almighty every night, a believer acquires a very useful habit for the health of soul and body. Thanks to protective prayer against bad dreams, nightmares disappear over time, proper rest returns, and, as a result, vitality and performance increase. The believer finds great deliverance and happiness, and also successfully realizes himself in society and achieves previously planned goals.
At night, it is recommended, just as in the morning, to read the Lord’s Prayer three times and in the name of the Holy Trinity. In addition to them, you need to say troparia three more times to the glory of the Heavenly Father.
Text of the evening troparion
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us; Perplexed by any answer, we offer this prayer to You as the Master of sin: have mercy on us.
Glory: Lord, have mercy on us, for we trust in You; Do not be angry with us, do not remember our iniquities, but look upon us now as if you are gracious, and deliver us from our enemies; For Thou art our God, and we are Thy people; all works are done by Thy hand, and we call upon Thy name.
And now: Open the doors of mercy to us, blessed Mother of God, who trust in You, so that we may not perish, but may be delivered from troubles by You: for You are the salvation of the Christian race.

What we live is what we dream about
In a dream, the soul philosophizes about what it is filled with, what it is immersed in, what it is attached to. Therefore, a person who is outwardly decent and moral can have nightmares. His true essence is revealed. When the day passes in bustle, the sleeping body is also concerned about the same. What the soul has been nourished with, it chews when the body does not interfere with it.
This explains many discoveries made in dreams. For example, the periodic table, computer design, literary, musical works, etc. But it is worth knowing that a disconnected consciousness, as it were, leaves the soul without protection, without the ability to repel the influence of evil forces. Sleep depends on daytime worries. The saints divided them into three main categories:
- The vision of meaningless, chaotic events is produced by the physiological functioning of the brain. He is engaged in “sorting” and processing the information received during the day. This is a neutral state, neither bad nor good. A normal function of the body, indicating the multi-caring nature of a person, nothing more.
- Scary, nightmare or false dreams, inducing fear and numbness, or “preceding” any events, are inspired by fallen spirits. This is an attempt to manipulate a person’s feelings and actions. Drawing him into set traps and nets in order to force him to believe in “prophetic dreams.”
- Revelations are real prophetic instructions from the Higher Light Forces, which are written about in the Bible. Their number is minimal. As a rule, they are available to people of highly spiritual life, saints. And they do not believe them the first time, so as not to accept demonic seduction as the truth.
The first two types of dreams are available to us, ordinary people, but the third is the lot of those who have acquired the grace of God. These are either ascetic monks, or children, or sincerely praying and in need of urgent adjustments in their lives. A signal to leave the wrong, destructive path by turning to the truths of faith. For example, the acquisition of miraculous icons was often carried out as directed from Above.
Where do nightmares come from?
There are several versions of their origin. Negative dreams with bloody and dramatic scenes are often seen by those who experience a feeling of fear in life, and are also interested in mysticism, without using protection from negativity.
At the same time, nightmares with vampires and werewolves will not come true, since they have nothing to do with reality and performing rituals in such a situation is completely pointless.
Therefore, if you dreamed about scary scenes on TV that you saw a few days ago, there is nothing wrong with that. It’s just your psyche getting rid of negative feelings, even if you had an unpleasant dream a few days ago.
Another reason for the appearance of terrible dreams is fears and apprehensions, worries and worries. Moreover, they may not appear in dreams when emotions reach their highest point.
Usually a person begins to see them a few days after experiencing an unpleasant situation. The dream book writes that nightmares in which your fears and concerns appear very rarely come true.
Therefore, if you are deathly afraid of maniacs in the dark or robbers, and you dreamed that such people were chasing you, aiming at your wallet, then the modern dream book writes that such a dream should be interpreted symbolically.
This is either the materialization of fears, the fact that they gradually go away, or a loss, but not related to money or any property. Such dreams, if they come true, are not in the same form as dreamed.
That is, you should not be afraid of an unpleasant dream, nor should you carry out rituals so that the negative forecast does not come true. And if you dream about what you fear most, then your fears will go away after waking up.
And finally, the most dangerous unpleasant dreams that can come true are the horrors associated with everyday life. Especially if you did not expect any troubles or had a vague presentiment that something very bad might still happen.
Such dreams can come true if a negative event has already happened, but you don’t know anything yet.
But in some cases, you can prevent trouble and the fact that a bad dream will come true
However, this is not always possible to do quickly, especially if a negative event has already happened. Often these dreams are frightening, embedded in your memory, and you easily remember them.
Should you believe dreams?
The Bible describes many stories when dreams played a significant role in the life of a particular person or an entire nation.
How to understand this phenomenon so as not to make a mistake? Contemplating dreams, we note that the words and actions we perform often do not correspond to the reaction that we expect from ourselves in real life. These can be both sublime actions and base ones. The speeches we make are thoughts that come from outside, and not our internal logical reasoning. Therefore, it is often chaotic. You can't trust what you see. The saints advise to treat everything neutrally: not to reject, but also not to accept, as an order from above, so as not to become a victim of demonic cunning. If suddenly the message was from God, it will be repeated more than once until the person is convinced that he should accept it.
Note: If you wake up in a cold sweat from fear after seeing a nightmare, read the prayer “Our Father...” three times. The obsession will go away, your condition will return to normal, and you will fall asleep peacefully.
How to change the course of events
In the scientific world, this type of dream has its own name - lucid dreaming. The essence of this method is that a person is aware of what is happening to him in a state of half-asleep and can control his actions, changing the flow of the dream depending on what he wants to see. However, achieving this state is quite difficult; for this you need to learn to control your consciousness during sleep.
In order to have a lucid dream, you need to get up in the morning several hours earlier than usual and walk around the apartment in a state of half-asleep. You can drink a glass of water and then return to bed, preferably lying on your back. You should try to relax as much as possible, remove all unnecessary thoughts from your head and imagine the place where you would like to be.
While falling asleep, you must try to fully control your actions and sensations, trying to change your location and the development of further events. Your first attempts probably won't be successful, but don't give up. After several attempts, the sensations will begin to change and an inner force will be felt that can control the sensations and change the course of the dream.
A person can control everything, even control and manage his dreams. If you achieve a high level of mastery in their management, you can easily change the course of dreams and drive away fear.
How to get rid of nightmares?
If bad dreams come systematically, problems are visible behind this. Either of a physiological nature, for example, with liver disease, or the “death” of the soul. Nightmares are an image of the threshold of hell. This means that a person is standing on the edge of an abyss, has fallen into the snare of the devil, has moved away from God so much that the eternal soul does not have pious skills. This is what manifests itself when body consciousness is absent.
Having excluded physiology, one should think about what the human essence really is. Who is the owner of the soul, to whom does it belong and obey. You can get rid of nightmares if you sanctify yourself, find grace, and become accustomed to prayer, which will protect you from the influence of unclean spirits. Moreover, cleansing occurs regularly through the Sacraments of the Church and home prayer. To heal, you need to:
- Read morning and evening, following the House Rule. In evening prayers there are many requests for the granting of restful sleep.
- Be sure to consecrate your home. In the event that you have not done this yet, since the requirement is performed once.
- If there are occult objects in the house: books, horoscopes, souvenirs, magical amulets, amulets, etc., burn everything so that nothing remains.
- Drink holy water, sprinkle the room.
- When going to bed, cross all sides of the bed. Once again before going to bed, read: “May God rise again...”.
- Read the Gospel regularly. At night - psalms - as much as the soul can handle.
Conclusion: Leading a Christian lifestyle not from time to time, but always, you will understand from your dreams what your soul is filled with. In difficult situations, contact the priest at your parish. Get tested if you suspect changes in your blood chemistry (diabetes, toxins). Bad dreams are a signal of spiritual problems that need to be solved while you are alive.
Prayer if you had a bad dream
And grant us, O Master, peace of body and soul as we go to sleep, and save us from the dark sleep of sin, and all dark and nightly voluptuousness. Calm the desire of passions, and extinguish the kindled arrows of the evil one, even flatteringly driven towards us. Quench the rebellion of our flesh, and put to rest all our earthly and material wisdom. And grant us, God, a cheerful mind, a chaste thought, a sober heart, light sleep, and all satanic dreams changed. Rise us up during prayer, confirmed in Your commandments, and holding the memory of Your judgments firmly within us. Grant us the all-night praise, to sing and bless and glorify Your most honorable and magnificent name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer for a bad dream not to come true
To You, the Most Pure Mother of God, I, the accursed one, fall down and pray: You know, Queen, that I constantly sin and anger Your Son and my God, and although I repent all the time, I turn out to be a liar before God. I repent and tremble with fear that the Lord will strike me, and soon I do the same again! I pray to You, my Lady, Lady Theotokos, knowing all this, have mercy, strengthen and teach me to do good. For You know, my Lady Theotokos, that with all my heart I hate my evil deeds and with all my thoughts I love the law of my God; but I don’t know, Most Pure Lady, why I do what I hate, but don’t do what is good.
Do not allow, O Most Pure One, my will to be fulfilled, for it is evil, but may the will of Your Son and my God be done, save me, and enlighten me, and give me the grace of the Holy Spirit, so that from now on I will stop doing bad things, and the rest of the time I will live according to the commandments of Your Son, to Whom belongs all glory, honor and power with His beginningless Father, and His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and always, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Father Seraphim taught that you can read the rule at work, while traveling, even while lying in bed. Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved, as the Bible says. Are there better intercessors than Jesus Christ and the Mother of God? Let a brief appeal to them have a beneficial effect on your internal state and even on the external circumstances of life.
Effective rituals
On the egg
If you saw something scary or bad in a dream, and you are afraid that it will not come true, you can perform a ritual using an egg. Take a chicken egg and roll it over your head with the words:
The egg needs to be broken
Next, this egg needs to be beaten into a glass, poured into the toilet, or as far away from the house as possible. This ritual is not dangerous, it can be performed every time you need it.
For salt
You can eliminate negativity from what you see in a dream with the help of holy water and salt. Place a pinch of salt in a glass of holy water. Stir the salt clockwise with a teaspoon and say:
Pour water into the sink or outside under a tree over your left shoulder with the words: As it came, so it went. Not left with me. Not transferred to others.
To church water
Place holy water at the head of the bed
If you often suffer from nightmares, fill a jar or any other container with holy water. Place it at the head of the bed at night. In the morning, pour it down the toilet. This liquid will absorb all the negativity and help you quickly forget what you saw.
This procedure can be performed daily. You will need very little water, but you will be sure that you can sleep peacefully.
Other ritual options
If you often see nightmares in your sleep and can’t get rid of it, perform a ritual with a sprig of verbena. This plant has healing powers and can repel otherworldly evil spirits. Place dry verbena branches in fabric bags. Hide one under the pillow, the second on the windowsill, the third at the head of the bed. Before going to bed, read these words:
Set fire to a dry verbena branch and go through all the rooms
You can also fumigate your home using a dry verbena sprig. Just light it and walk through all the rooms. This will help clear the premises of accumulated negative energy flows.
In this case, the priests recommend in the morning after a nightmare to go to three churches and light a candle for your health, order a magpie for health, and collect holy water in these churches. Every day after waking up in the morning, wash your face with this water and read the prayer to Saint Cyprian:
We recommend studying Psalm 62
Keep your dreams secret
Analyze your dream and draw conclusions
There is a fine line between dreams and the subconscious. And it is our subconscious that gives us certain signals during sleep. For example, negative events seen may indicate problems and difficulties experienced. What oppresses you in your soul can turn into bad events in a dream. Therefore, after seeing negativity in a dream, try to analyze the events that happen in your life in reality. Perhaps there is some problem that just needs to be solved. After which you will automatically get rid of nightmares.
You cannot tell anyone about what you saw in your dream. This applies to both good and bad information. Regardless of what exactly you saw, experts in the field of esotericism recommend restraining yourself and not telling anyone about this information. Otherwise, it may turn out badly for you. For example, good events will not come true, but bad ones may become prophetic for you.
There is also another theory regarding the mystery of dreams. It is believed that if you tell the information you saw to a loved one whom you trust, all events will lose their power. Some experts in the field of extrasensory perception also claim that the more people hear information about your dream, the faster you will forget it, and bad events will not come true.
Esotericism in the fight against bad dreams
A synonym for esotericism is mysticism, witchcraft, sorcery. Astrology also belongs to this area. Therefore, people called esotericists do the same thing as their colleagues called fortune-tellers and healers. It is believed that they have some secret knowledge that is inaccessible to the uninitiated, and with the help of their skills, esotericists can dispel evil spells, remove damage, and, among other things, ward off bad dreams.
Keep quiet or it will come true
Unlike psychology, esotericism believes that in order to prevent a bad dream from coming true, a conspiracy is best suited. Fortune tellers and sorcerers claim that such dreams cannot be told, because the thought expressed tends to materialize, and after voicing it can come true. In this case, it will come true.
According to esotericism, the soul of a sleeping person travels to other worlds and can meet an evil spirit or other entity, a meeting with which does not bode well. To prevent this from happening, protection is needed. An amulet, a talisman, a talisman - it can be called differently, but the essence and purpose is the same: to drive out evil spirits from your dreams, so that nothing bad can happen in your dreams.
Keep me, my talisman
Some precious and semi-precious stones can drive away a bad dream:
- pomegranate;
- amethyst;
- Moonstone;
- malachite;
- rhinestone;
- chrysolite.
They are placed at the head of the bed and washed with running water once a week. Select the right stone according to your zodiac sign.
It is believed that dreams from Thursday to Friday come true. Astrologers say that this is only partly true. The patroness of Friday is the goddess of love Venus, so only a dream filled with romantic or love meaning will come true. The nightmares I had that night do not come true.

The same applies to the nightmare that I had from Sunday to Monday. What you dreamed about on the border of a sunny day (Sunday) and a lunar day (Monday) in life foreshadows something diametrically opposite.
In dream books, there is a very common interpretation of dreams when bad things come with good things and vice versa. And for this reason, you should not indulge in despondency or worry if you dreamed of trouble. If your dream is too good, you need to be on guard.
Long before fortune telling began to be called esotericism, people fought bad dreams as best they could: they could speak, wash them off with water, etc. The nightmare was treated like garbage or dirt that was being cleaned out.
Beliefs associated with dreams have everyday background. So, it is believed that to say what you dreamed about before lunch means to invite trouble. In fact, in a primitive society, a person had so much to do from the moment he woke up that to be distracted by lengthy stories was to waste time.
And the woman has to get up before dark, light the stove, put bread on to bake, feed the cattle, prepare food. There’s no time for dreams, otherwise you won’t have time to do everything. But after lunch you can relax.
There is another point of view, which says that in the afternoon the sun is at its zenith, and the bright rays act as a spell from evil forces. Fire or sun accompany a conspiracy against a nightmare.
Spells for the sun and water
Folk conspiracies, spells and other verbal means are necessarily combined with ritual actions and are divided into two groups. In the first, bad dreams are driven away by the sun's rays, in the second, they are washed away with water.
If you take a closer look at the sayings relating to dreams, the short meaning is – where there is night, there is sleep. Sentences are supplemented with auxiliary words, combined with washing, using decoctions, etc., but the essence remains the same. Therefore, it is considered effective to say this phrase three times after a terrible dream. It is better to open the window so that the nightmare flies away from the home.
It is better to start the morning after a bad sleep with a spell, accompanied by washing. The dew of medicinal herbs works well if they grow nearby. At the same time they say “where there is water, there comes trouble.”
Don't take nightmares as a serious omen. Most dreams reflect what has already been experienced. But you need to get rid of the negativity that accumulates from such dreams. Telling is only one way.
Every person has dreams, but not everyone remembers them. It’s good if something pleasant happened in a dream, but if dreams turn into nightmares, and at night you keep waking up in a cold sweat, you need to deal with the problem. To begin with, you can try traditional methods to combat nightmares. A simple conspiracy to prevent a bad dream from coming true will help prevent negativity.

Transforming a bad dream into a good one
If you can change the course of events in your dreams, then you can neutralize a bad dream. As soon as you realize that some image or symbol frightens you, that it promises you trouble, try to immediately “intervene” and “free yourself” from it. So, if you dream of a black cat, and you understand that this promises great trouble, you should not be scared, try to “imagine” that in the dream you had a brush with white paint in your hands. Make a white cat out of a black cat. Plus, tie a huge bright bow around her neck. Then in real life you will easily cope with the blow, moreover, you will be able to turn an unfavorable situation for yourself into a winning one.

And if you dream that you are flying into an abyss (a symbol of trouble), then imagine that you have wings and you are flying above it. Then in real life you will be able to rise above a dangerous situation, look at it differently, and find a non-trivial way out of it. They will later say about you: “There would have been no happiness, but misfortune helped.”
If you dream that you are sick or one of your relatives is ill, then try, without waking up or not fully awakening (balancing on the edge of sleep and reality), to imagine yourself or a person close to you as energetic, healthy and cheerful. Do the same with other dreams that frighten you.
And most importantly, when you finally wake up, do not look for coincidences with your dream in real life, do not be afraid of similar details - in this way you attract the bad and give the bad dream a chance to come true. The more often you remember a bad dream, the more it will materialize. Abstract yourself from it, forget about it and never remember it!
Making a dream come true is not as difficult as skeptics might think. To do this, it is enough to use special techniques. And believe in yourself.
There are many legends and mysteries associated with dreams. There are things in the world that you may not know. Read about them to understand how dreams arise and how to bring what you see to life.
What to do to make your dream come true
Several methods can be used simultaneously to increase the chance of success.
Method one:
try to always remember your dream and periodically recall even the smallest details. According to psychologists, the longer we think about something, the more likely it is to happen. If you do not follow this rule, then other advice will not make sense. The first thing you should always do is remember the dream well and reproduce it more often. You can even write it down or sketch the main, key points and details that you remember.
Method two:
use spells. There are the simplest options that do not need to be read from a piece of paper, but can be immediately memorized:
What I dreamed at night, let it become reality forever.
What came to me in a dream will remain with me.
In addition to conspiracies, you can resort to other tricks. For example, call for good dreams from Thursday to Friday, when they definitely come true.
Method three:
The best way to make a dream come true is to have a prophetic dream. Previously, we talked about what you need to do to have a prophetic dream. You can specifically induce a prophetic dream to see the future. The only negative is that you don’t choose the dream, but it chooses you.
Method four:
do not read the interpretation of the dream. Under no circumstances is it recommended to read the dream book, since the interpretation may be negative. This will destroy positive emotions and the dream will not come true. A striking example is that you discovered a lot of money in a dream. Many dream books do not always speak positively about such a dream. We read it and stopped believing, doubted, and became upset. Take the dream literally.
Method five:
do not tell anyone about what you dreamed. Other people's thoughts and energy can become a huge obstacle to the materialization of a dream. Carry what you see within yourself and do not forget about the rules of visualization.
Method six:
if suddenly you witness that your dream has come true, keep some thing that reminds you of this dream - it will be your talisman, which will positively influence the fulfillment of dreams in the future. Talismans can accumulate, and their powers will add up.
By following these simple rules and instructions, each of you can make a pleasant dream an equally pleasant reality. There is a belief that dreams come true more often when they visit us from Thursday to Friday. But prophetic dreams can be seen more often. Good luck, sweet dreams, and don't forget to press the buttons and

What is needed to change your sleep scenario
The practice of managing dreams helps to change their course in a timely manner. To develop this ability in yourself, you need to write down every dream in a notebook. They do this immediately after waking up, since the plot of the dream is quickly forgotten.
By remembering what you see and trying to concentrate on what is happening during sleep, you can change any details
It is important to realize that the night plot is a product of brain activity, and not reality.
For example, if a black cat scratches a person in a dream, then you need to try to appease him. You can imagine that its color became white and the animal calmed down. This way you can make any changes to the plot of a dream - from the location and behavior of creatures to the appearance of the surrounding world.
Even if bad dreams do not come true, they bring moral discomfort. This affects a person's behavior and his aura. Negative energy that comes from a nightmare can cause harm in real life. To prevent this from happening, rituals are performed or prayers are read.
