Almost everyone has experienced one or more dreams that contain
anxiety or outright fear. For some, unpleasant dreams or
nightmares recur repeatedly; for others, the content may change
while the theme remains the same, such as scenes of falling, or
of being pursued or attacked, late or unprepared for a
presentation or an exam, stuck in slow motion, unable to move or
scream, or naked in public, to name a few common themes. This
type of experience, when unpleasant, is usually associated with
lack of progress by the dreamer to recognize and solve related
conflicts in life.

The Dread Count Nightmare came to this realm many centuries ago,
and as time progressed, he always sought a way to keep in touch

Nightmares are more often like a vaccine than a poison. A
vaccination infects us with a minute dose of a disease that
mobilizes our antibodies and makes us more resistant to the
virulence of smallpox or polio. As distressing as nightmares can
be, they offer powerful information about issues that are
distressing your child. When children share their nightmares and
receive reassurance from their parents, they feel the emotional
sting of the dream, but also begin the process of strengthening
their psychological defenses and facing their fears with more
resilience. For some, unpleasant dreams recur identically; for
others, the content changes yet the theme repeats, such as
scenes of falling, being pursued or attacked, late or unprepared
for an exam or presentation, unable to move or scream, or having
teeth fall out. This type of anxiety dream usually recurs and are
mainly associated with the dreamer's failure to recognize and
solve related life conflicts.
Stress is a normal part of life. In small quantities, stress is
good -- it can motivate you and help you be more productive.
However, too much stress, or a strong response to stress, can
actually harm your mind and your bod over time. This can set you
up for general poor health as well as specific physical or
psychological illnesses like infection, heart disease, or
depression. Persistent and unrelenting stress often leads to
anxiety and unhealthy behaviors like overeating and abuse of
alcohol or drugs.
