nightmares after meditations

[Karas]

Recently I've started meditation before bed and I've been getting vivid horrifyingly dreams which wakes me up in fear in the night.  I Googled this and it seems quite common and I'm still waiting for a reply on a gnostic forum on this issue. 

So I like to post it here and see what you guys think of it ^^ 

The main key elements of the dreams are:

Day 1  Demon baby   
Day 2 Forgotten this one
Day 3 Horribly disfigured people

No idea if this would help get an idea of the interpretation of the symbolism but have a go and let me know what you think ^^

Intensified dreams are common after meditations. There are not many ways to avoid, that some of em are nightmares. So i suggest to learn this simple method to handle them.

(M.3. Tips to prevent nightmares, to abort out of body experiences and similar: Here are effective methods mentioned, which can prevent or abort nightmares. These tips work also in out of body experiences and astral dreams.

(M.3.8.1) This method has also helped me many times. Go, as usual, normal to bed. Imagine before falling asleep a situation, like you have it often in nightmares. Imagine then, how you can turn the situation into a good situation. For example: You can imagine how you turn the tables. (Possible example: Attack your opponent or tell him that he should stop.) Now intend, to do so in the dream. One must train this every time, before one sleeps. Don't forget: In dreams are you invincible. In many cases helps surprisingly to ask the "enemy" why he does it. In general, they will not say anything and just stay there or even flee.

(M.3.8.2) Is similar to "M.3.8.1", but here one practices a closing of the eyes. Short timed closing and opening of the eyes causes a changing of the situations and environments. That works during out of body experiences, during dreams and during astral dreams.

(M.3.8.2.1) If one lets the eyes closed for longer time, one will wake up sooner or later. It can take during some out of body experiences and astral dreams some more time, until one wakes up or until the environment and the situation changes. In this happens, I recommend to keep the eyes closed and maybe start to count until one is awake. It is important to note, that abortions with this method lead often to a waking up in a sleeping paralysis.

(M.3.8.3) The loud shouting of the word "stop" is often enough to wake up from dreams, out of body experiences and astral dreams. The effectiveness of this method bases on a emotion change, which occurs during the shouting. This leads to a waking up.

It is quite effective and helped me alot. I have almost no real nightmares anymore.

 Excellent answers there project_outzone! 

I find a great way as well is to handle these "nightmares" is to question why those in your Dreams are acting this way.

Question during the Dream, why this Dream is taking place in the first place.

It may be as simple as you are having these Dreams, so you may have recall that you are indeed having Lucid Dreams. They certainly are getting your attention!

This then leads to the next step which is interacting with the scenario, consciously aware, but knowing you are totally aware and can alter the Dream or just leave the scenario all together.

It sounds like to me like you are being taught a "new skill"! 

I've been through this already, just as many others here have.

This is just the first step in taking control of your Dreams.

Proyect_outzone, you have shared a wonderful method. Dreams are obvious after doing meditations. But thanks to you for this wonderful method.
