Elizabeth,

 

I've had success treating recurring unpleasant dreams as if they were

just PRs that came up in my sleep.

 

Asking " if this dream was connected to a psychological reversal, what

would it be? " , and then using EFT on the PR, has done wonders.

 

Whether that works for you, who can say?

Elizabeth:

Before overriding sub consious messages with conscious programming it might

be beneficial to explore the message in the dream.

The message could be a very important one and a preventative rather than

negative one.

The gestalt approch pre supposes that each part of the dream is a

projection of a part of the self and to explrore the dream from each

individual part gives geater insight. If there is an obect in the dream,

house, stairs, windows or animals or characters, be that and re experience

the dream for that point of view.

I start each of these scenarios with, " As the *** I perceive****.

 

At the very least this is an interesting exercise and it could be very

enlightening.

I agree with you. As a person who does a little Jungian dream analysis as well

as Gestalt, I know the inner exploration can help you emotionally, physically,

spiritually, psychologically. A dream that seems negative may be showing what

Jung called your Shadow. Understanding the unconscious, often uncomfortable

symbols that you need to confront before you can continue your personal

growth can be wonderful. When you have these dreams they are an opportunity.

 

Of course, this can be another complex thing to learn. Or, you can find a

person who knows it already. And you can use the tapping and Energy stuff

any time to help deal with problems that arise. You can program yourself to

go back to sleep and change the dream, or to change the dream content when

you awake so it does not disturb you. But you won't be able to learn, at least

that time, from your unconscious. Just depends on what you want.

If you want to learn more about dreams and Shadow, you can check out

the Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford (book and tape), and any number

of books on Jungian and Gestalt dream analysis.

 

I have recently had a series of dreams where I have been threatened, tortured,

seen others die. I always escaped. My life really has things going on it in now

that I am consciously suppressing while feeling emotionally unsupported and

physically overworked but unable to change that yet. An external problem that

I can change my reaction to, my coping with. I even had one where the ground

crumbled out from under me. But they all were helpful when examined

symbolically. In both Jungian and Gestalt, YOU are ALL the characters--

male and female, dark and light, jerks and angels. You may not want to cancel

all of them.
