Comment on How to wake up during nightmares?

Did you try being bored by it? “Oh it’s one of those nightmares again, let’s get it over with. Where is the monster chasing me? Ah, there it comes, yes, eat me, I’m so scared, aaaah”
I never had such extreme episodes but enough that I did actually get bored by them.
What’s important to say is that I was a very anxious person, scared of everything. I did decide to start confronting my fears and getting rid of them. Part of it was accepting the fears and just letting myself be scared without the judgement of fear being bad. Getting bored of nightmares definitely coincided there.

This is a great suggestion. I have had repeating nightmares in the past that resolved by confronting the fear in my dreams. The doom did not realize and the dreams eventually stopped afterward. Let’s see if I can remember to try it in the dreams and how it turns out. I’ll let you know if I’m able to do it. Thank you!
