Dear friends,It's me Sam 🙋

You too must have experienced the same horrific, bone-chilling, horrifying realm of nightmares🛌 as I did🥶, but have you ever questioned why we experience these unsettling dreams🤔?

So let's explore 🔍this fantasy world and discover the answer to a perplexing query in this blog. Let's begin.🙅

Nightmares, usually referred to as bad dreams, are distressing, intensely real nightmares that occur most frequently during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is when most dreams occur😴💤

Your heart starts to race from panic during a nightmare, which jolts you out of a deep slumber. Your mind is also filled with terror 🧟‍♂️at this period.

You might be shocked 😱to learn that nightmares can be beneficial despite their negative image🙄.

Yes, dear friends🤗, there is a hypothesis that states that nightmares developed to aid in our ancestors' survival by raising their awareness and level of anxiety😟 in the presence of potential threats like wild animals and hostile tribes.

Your brain is probably trying to tell you not to repeat a distressing experience in your dreams so that you can protect yourself🙅.

You guys must be thinking that it made sense back when our forefathers lived.But what about today's world🤔, where there are no roaming animals?

Well, there aren't any wild animals🐻.However, it has been replaced with equally unpleasant contemporary anxieties such as being bullied or made fun of🥶, stressful circumstances such as dealing with family troubles or starting a new school🥺.
Even seeing a horrific incident🏨, such as a natural disaster, an accident, or an injury, might bring on the same types of dreams as earlier worries.

The good news is that, just like in the past, these nightmares might assist you in coping with and resolving your issues.However, there is a crucial query here.Is there a method to stop these nightmares from pestering us❓


Even while it is impossible to entirely eliminate bad nightmares, there are certain efforts we can take to reduce their frequency, such as developing a regular sleep 🛌schedule.by making an effort to wake up and go to bed at roughly the same hour each day🕑.


Try sleeping with the lights on💡 or the door open to help you recall that your family👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 is around and to help you feel safer and sleep securely. Sleeping with your favourite soft toy can also help you feel more secure🔐.

Are you aware?

Reading terrifying novels or watching disturbing movies, especially right before bed, might cause nightmares.So make an effort to break,🔨 these bad habits.


Another is that eating snacks🍟 late at night may result in nightmares. 
Yes, eating before bed can boost metabolism and tell the brain to work harder, which ultimately causes nightmares📈.

This blog is based on many references on my own efforts..

If any of you readers undergone such nightmares…please share what you did to make them stop pestering…
