And usually something will have triggered the nightmare, like maybe the goldfish died or, you know, maybe someone at school was mean to them or they got in trouble.
You know, something will trigger it.
And then as we get older, we will still get them.
And they're caused by a couple of things.
They're caused by a difficult issue we don't know how to work through.
They can be caused, of course, by something from the past that still affects us today.
They're usually caused by something that's just very upsetting.
So when you get a nightmare, ask yourself, what is the most upsetting thing going on in my life right now?
That will be what caused it.
If there's nothing upsetting going on in your life right now, then there's likely something from the past that's still
causes you to behave a certain way because that happened.
And your subconscious is trying to alert you to the fact that this negative thing is still affecting you.
And so when you are able to pinpoint what caused the nightmare and then you begin actively working to correct it, even just the first little step towards fixing it, the nightmares will stop.
