Every night for the past week or two, I've been having really bad nightmares. Two of the nights I've had nightmares that I was in a car accident. The other two nights, I've had dreams that I killed someone I love and tried to hide their body, then realized what I did was wrong and felt scared and guilty. I looked everywhere online to find out what these dreams mean and why I keep having them. Can someone tell me what all of this means? I rate 5's for all answers. _(link)

I like to think of it this way. Dreams are nothing more than thought pictures or mental images if you will. Some thoughts are unpleasant and so can mental imagery.

When you fall asleep at night your brain does not shut off or stop processing your thoughts. Often we have a lot of fears and sometimes at night the thought pictures going on as you sleep can turn nasty. None of it is real but rather a dipiction of your thoughts and fears as you sleep.

I wouldn't worry there is not much chance of a car accident or killing someone you love in your waking experience. But what is real and what is there at night and during the day is a fear of this deep down. Chuck it and you will not have a problem.

Another tip if you have frequent nightmares you must note is do not sleep on your back. Sleep on your sides. Sleeping on your back as well as front accounts for why a lot of people have bad dreams. Posture and sleeping patterns or the way you sleep can lead to such dreams not to mention what you think about all the time.

Thank you and I do sleep on my side! Dreams are so weird!
