Why Do People Have Bad Dreams?


Why do some people have bad dreams?

Your question is one that bothers many people today. So let’s have a look at it.

First on the list of reasons for bad dreams are frightening TV shows and violent computer games. Especially in the evening before bedtime. They tell a lot. One who indulges in them is falling into a lower state of consciousness.

And where do you suppose he dream travels? To the lower Astral plane. So, do pleasant things before bedtime. It will clear up many bad dreams.

Second, bad dreams may come from poor nutrition. This can be from not eating the right foods or eating the wrong ones. Too much sugar is a problem, but so are preservatives in food, like monosodium glutamate (MSG). It’s used in Chinese food and much else. Both sugar and preservatives fray our nerves. So let’s avoid them.

Third, toxins around us can also cause bad dreams. Two common ones are mercury and lead.

The biggest source of mercury pollution comes in communities that burn coal to produce electricity. The burning causes mercury to get into the air, and there’s no way to avoid it. Some seafoods, too, are a source of mercury. Ours is a polluted planet, but we all do the best we can.

Toxins are hard to remove from our bodies. There are often doctors of alternative medicine in larger communities who can help us.

So start with reason number one. If you do your part, it’ll be easier for me to help you enjoy more pleasant sleep. And sweet dreams!
