NIGHTMARE.

A nightmare is a disturbing dream that causes the dreamer to wake up feeling anxious and frightened. Nightmares may be a response to real life trauma and situations. These type of nightmares fall under a special category called Post-traumatic stress nightmare (PSN). Nightmares may also occur because we have ignored or refused to accept a particular life situation. Research shows that most people who have regular nightmares have had a family history of psychiatric problems, bad drug experiences, people who have contemplated suicide, and/or rocky relationships. Nightmares are an indication of a fear that needs to be acknowledged and confronted. It is a way for our subconscious to make up take notice. "Pay attention!"

RECURRING DREAMS.

Recurring dreams repeat themselves with little variation in story or theme. These dreams may be positive, but most often they are nightmares. Dreams may recur because a conflict depicted in the dream remains unresolved and ignored. Once you have found a resolution to the problem, your recurring dreams may cease.

HEALING DREAMS.

Healing dreams serve as messages for the dreamer in regards to their health. Dreams of this nature may be telling the dreamer that he/she needs to go to the dentist or doctor.

DO DREAMS SAVE LIVES? By: Juan Pablo Tomacello, Ignacio Díaz y Tomás Acevedo Are dreams of any use to de dreamer or to anyone else? The story says that a girl called Merna who lived in Czernak, Poland, had a boyfriend who was a polish soldier, called Stanislaus Omensky. He went to fight in World War I. After some month Merna had a dream in which her boyfriend got trapped by stones from a castle in the mountains. She had this dream many times and every time she heard her boyfriend’s voice in the castle. So she told her mother but anybody believed her. After that she started the long search for the destroyed castle. One day on April 1920, she came to the village of Zlota. There on the top of the hill stood her castle, as she has seen in her dreams. She ran to the village and fell down to the ground and a crowd of people arrived and looked at her. Merna told everyone about her dream and she pointed to the castle. She asked the men to lift the stones and they laughed a lot. They did not believe her story but it was not very difficult to lift some stones. The first day they did not find anything, but the second one they heard the voice of a man. Maryland High School
