No Longer Afraid of Nightmares
All of my life when I had nightmares they would haunt me for days, and I would be afraid of going to sleep for several nights. Recently I became interested in lucid dreaming (and dreaming in general). Since then I've done failr extensive research on the science behind sleep, dreams etc.
It took me about a month to realize that I no longer get afraid of nightmares. Last night I had a nightmare that would have mortified me as a child and I didn't bat an eye at it after I woke up. I just want back to sleep.
I just thought I'd share this with you all and I'd like to hear what you all have to say about this issue. Do you think my sudden interest and research of dreams has cured my fear or is this something that just happens with age and maturity? I'm only 22 now so I'd say that maturity is still a work in progress for me haha.
