Okay, so, I had this crazy idea the other day to try and, like, deal with some old baggage through my dreams. Sounds wild, I know, but I was desperate. It’s like this stuff was just stuck in my head, you know? So, I thought, why not give it a shot? Nothing to lose, right?
First thing I did was to try to remember those moments that really messed me up. I mean, really go back there and feel all those crappy feelings again. It sucked, big time. But I stuck with it. I wrote everything down, every little detail, like I was trying to get it all out of my system by putting it on paper.
Start
- Find a quiet place where nobody would bother me.
- Made sure I was super relaxed, you know, like before you crash for the night.
- Focused on the trauma. Ugh, it was tough. But I kept telling myself it’s gonna be worth it.
Then, I started this weird thing where I’d, like, talk to myself before going to bed. I’d tell myself that I’m gonna dream about this stuff and I’m gonna be okay. I know, sounds bonkers, but I was going for it. I really tried to believe it, too. Like, really convince myself that my dreams were a safe space to deal with this stuff.
Night after night, I kept at it. Some dreams were just a mess, all jumbled up and confusing. But then, there were these other dreams. It was like I was reliving those moments, but this time, it was different. I was, like, in control? I could change things, talk back, even fight if I had to. It was so empowering! It felt like I was rewriting those bad memories, you know?
Process
- Dreaming: Lots of weird, messed up dreams at first.
- Control: Started feeling like I had some say in what was happening in the dream.
- Rewrite: It was like I was making a new version of those old memories. Way less scary.
It took a while, and honestly, it wasn’t easy. There were nights when I just wanted to give up. But I pushed through. And you know what? It actually started to work. Those memories, they don’t feel so heavy anymore. It’s like I took their power away, or something. I still remember them, sure, but they don’t make me feel like crap anymore. It’s wild, right?
Aftermath
- Lighter: I feel way less burdened by my past.
- Stronger: Kinda like I’ve leveled up or something.
- Peaceful: There’s this sense of calm I didn’t have before. Like I finally made peace with my demons.
So yeah, that’s my story. I took a leap of faith and tried something totally out there, and it actually paid off. I’m not saying it’s gonna work for everyone, but for me, it was a game-changer. Now, I can finally move on, you know? It’s like a fresh start. And honestly, it feels amazing. So there you have it. My weird but successful journey of smashing my past trauma in my dreams.
