Nightmare-morphosis

Whether our psyches are working through complex emotional experiences or the impacts of trauma, nightmares are defined as extremely dysphoric, or unsettling dreams. And part of what makes them so dysphoric, is that they have no conclusion.

We tend to wake up from our nightmares at the scariest part, leaving us feeling uneasy or disturbed.

These feelings can linger, creative narratives and associations of their own, somehow gaining power over us even when we're not sleeping.

But, did you know that your imagination and your dreams come from the same place? In performing a nightmare-morphosis, we can safely re-enter the nightmare at its climax or scariest part, and insert a new story that is pleasant, empowering, and supportive.

This can help to alleviate the emotional charge associated with the nightmare, and support the psyche in its process of healing — which is the role that dreams perform.
