Dream Interpretation: We are frightened by nightmares, which makes us attentive. We are able to discern the spiritual lessons the universe is trying to convey to us due to this consciousness. The spiritual significance of nightmares varies based on the type you experience. Many concentrate on emotional upheavals in your life, while others issue an alert. If you don't take the required precautions to prevent anything unpleasant from happening in the future, nightmares may be an indication that it will. Additional psychological nightmare implications relate to problems in your personal life, bad judgements, being frightened to move forward, or unfavourable energy in your environment. Let us understand the spiritual meaning of having nightmares frequently. 

Dream Interpretation: Spiritual Meanings Of Nightmares 

- Trauma or Unresolved Situations - Post-traumatic stress disorder can manifest as bad nightmares, and more particularly, having the same dream repeatedly. There is probably something we need to process in order to return to a general sense of safety if we know we are safe in our everyday life but our dreamscape doesn't reflect that. Somatic practises like yoga, bodywork, and somatic counselling can be extremely helpful for releasing this trauma and restoring balance. Trauma (or toxic stress) that lingers in the neurological system can be treated in a variety of ways.

- Intergenerational Trauma Or Past Life Experiences - Particularly when we dream of ourselves in a different body or gender, some individuals think that dreams can be a window into lives we've lived in the past. There is also evidence to suggest that our neural systems are capable of storing painful memories from our family tree, which may explain why we have nightmares. In either case, we can still be holding traces of a past life. We must keep in mind that we are living this life right now, and what matters most about it is how we handle these feelings and emotions right now. What may have happened is less important than how we are responding to it at the moment. 

Dream Interpretation: How To Spiritually Cleanse Yourself From Bad Dreams 

- To assist you in releasing traumatic energy from your nervous system, consult a trusted psychic, energy healer, and/or therapist. 

 - Make a ritual for releasing this energy or experience from a previous life. You might perform a ritual cleansing of your body while sitting next to a fire or candle flame, or you may offer the old energy to the fire.
