Hello all!

[Crusher]

I have been experiencing wierd dreams for the last 2 or so years. My mother pasted away about the same time that I started having these dreams. I have been looking around this site and have found some very promising information. I want to look around for a little while and gather some info before I post so please bare with me.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I want to give you some info about my dreams and hope you can help me to get these out of my head. As mentioned before my mother passed away about 2 years ago after battleing cancer for over 2 years. She was a very strong woman and we did'nt know how bad she was until her last few days cause she always said" I am going to be fine" and then she would change the subject. My parents had a troubled relationship mostly because of my father having mental problems. He finally drove her to devorce after 38 years of marrage. He got to be more voilent with her as they aged. Okay with that "in a nut shell" info being said. I often have dreams where my mother and father are there and of coarse he is causing trouble and I have to moderate or even jump in and beat him down ( selectively). I have read some on lucid dreams a few years ago and began practicing it. I seemed to have good results but lost interest due to family situations and not understanding that lucid dreams and controling them might help. So I guess what I am saying is I am not totally new to this. Even though I can control to an extent how these dreams play out I would like to be able to get them to stop. I don't want to stop dreaming about my mother but just get rid of these dreams of battles between my parents. If I am able to get these dreams to stop I would them like to pursue the lucid dreaming practice because I feel it would help me more with lifes situations. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Also one other thing I have been able to do a couple of times when I have total and complete silence (which is rare) and it was soooooo relaxing is to knida go into a trance or concentrate and lower my breathing and heart rate so far I believe that I could pass for dead (without a stethiscope of coarse). I don't know what this would be called but like I said it was very relaxing.
