almost dying in a dream, followed by panic!

Mel,

Yes, I have had some really frightening dreams about near death experiences...

...it can affect your mood for a long time...and keep coming back to you the next day.:/

Be sure and decompress with some coping skills. Relaxation techniques and journaling about the dream and how it has made you feel will help.

Here's to better dreams tonight.:)

S.C.

Sorry about your unsettling dream. I hate those.

Hope you can clear your mind, and find peace for tonight.

These usually happen to me just as I'm about to fall asleep. The falling dreams, the drowning dreams...anything near death... and I wake up in such a panic and am a bit shaky and uneasy for awhile. There are so many theories as to why that happens...mainly stress... I know how awful they are, but the subconscious clearly has a mind of its own and I wouldn't worry too much about it. Try doing some deep breathing tonight before bed and dropping a little lavender oil on your pillow!
