Trying to forget a bad dream

[Yoricko]

I recently had a nightmare if this strange face I saw on a documentary. In the nightmare, the face seemed real and appeared everywhere I go, kinda freaky. In the waking world, I still sometimes imagine that face in my head (when I got nothing better to do like lounging the sofa) and just creeps me out terribly, any tips to get rid of this spooky face? Thanks

This exact same thing always happens to me when i watch a scary movie. There really is no 1-size-fits-all remedy for this that i know of, but some stuff that helps me is 1. Religion (im deeply religious, if you're not, disreguard this) 2. Willing yourself to forget (self explanatory, repeat "I WILL FORGET" mentally, for example) 3. Time (these things pass in time, just wait for your mind to naturally get over it) I hope these helps, these things usually work for me, and, with any luck, youll get lucid soon and be able to shoot that scary face

A great way to quickly either get rid of this spooky face or to make it no longer spooky is the next time you dream about it (or even are day dreaming about it) is to walk right up to it. Ask it what it wants. Or ask it to be your friend. I know this probably sounds weird, but this works really well. It will work best in a dream or in a daydream where you totally let yourself forget about reality for a while.
