Dreams fascinate me. Okay, sometimes they fascinate me and other times they just don’t make sense. But dreams are another reminder that we are all definitely human and not some kind of machine that shuts on and off.

I have asked many clients about dreams they have, typically during intake if I think of it. Usually I ask how their sleep is overall and then ask if they have nightmares, bad dreams, or any recurring dreams. It’s the recurring dreams that get most of my attention, since I have come to believe that those dreams repeat so our mind can try to make sense of something. On the other hand, maybe our mind figured something out but we have been resisting the acceptance of it.

Anyway, I found an interesting article today that I’d like to share with you. The link is: http://www.divinecaroline.com/article/22201/62493-six-reasons-dreams , and in the article, Brie Cadman presents “Six Reasons We Have Bad Dreams”. I would offer one more: watching a disturbing or scary movie before bedtime.

I would also recommend the DivineCaroline.com site in general, since I have noticed there is quality writing about many life areas. Check it out!
