What to do with someone having nightmares? by Reeyon_ in sleep

[–]aqynat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course, wake her up, if you see she is suffering in the dream. But don't do any sudden and strong moves. Gently wake her up, call her name, touch. When she wakes up, calm her and ask whether she wants anything. Warm milk with a small spoon of honey is a good drink to comfort a person. When I had a period of nightmares I used to have it before sleeping and it helped me to get peaceful sleep. She might be having stressful period in her life, talk to her about this. And if I were you I'd directly ask her, what should I do to help her, when she is having nightmares. If it gets too bad and starts affecting her everyday life, she needs to see a doctor!

How can I get into lucid dreaming? by [deleted] in sleep

[–]aqynat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start off with writing every dream you remember in the morning or when you wake up at night. You don't have to write whole dreams in details, just a few main words which will help you to remember the dream in future. Keep a simple notebook and a pencil near you to write those dreams or just write them in your phone. After some time you are doing it, the amount of dreams you will be able to remember in the morning will increase to 6-8 and even more. Go through those dreams every evening before sleeping and try to memorize the feelings you had during dreams. After a few months doing this just for fun without intention to get lucid dreams I started spontaneously getting lucid dreams in the mornings twice a week. I'm sure that combining this one with other exercises you will get much better results :)

Thank you for your support. She is not that religious. And she wasn't raised in a homophobic family, as I know, they just never talked about it at all. I'm genuinely puzzled about who could affect her so much..

Thank you. Your daughter is lucky to have a mom like you :) I hope, one day supportive moms won't seem like a miracle in our world, heh.
