Publisher's Synopsis
What is demonstrably true is that of all the dreams people have, nightmares are the ones that tend to be remembered. Nightmares demand our attention. The trends toward depersonalisation in the workplace, the pressures of family and relationship, the failings of our society and the highly visible horrors that appear on nightly television all contribute to the appearance of the true nightmare. Illness, medication, stress, trauma, and impossible workloads play their role in the creation of bad dreams. We are all potential candidates for the nightmare experience. This book grants readers the power to understand their dreams, so that they can use that knowledge to help themselves. Each chapter deals with a specific theme and related variations. Each gives anecdotes of actual nightmares with comments and interpretations. In the process, the reader will come to understand what the meaning might be for him or her. The book includes simple, practical processes for dealing with terrifying dreams.
