Hello, Cheyenne. What I have learned about nightmares is that they speak to deeper truths not so much the ‘trauma’ that may have triggered it. Extreme nightmares are meant to get our attention, as with recurring dreams but they have little to do with the literal content, but relates to the story that we harbor. Sickness is the same, it is the body/mind’s attempt to heal. We need not pay attention to the symptoms, only assist the process. And assistance means full acceptance, letting go of any need to resist what is happening. The nightmare always points to the dreaming mind, the illusion or story of mortality, the fear of death. This is what needs to be faced, ultimately to see ourselves as God sees us. Unceasing prayer. Meditation and prayer is what we are, not what we do. The healing is a re-membering who we truly are in spirit, no longer a material body that can have a horrific end. “My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” (Matthew 21:13) The ‘house’ is the temple, the true body, Mind. We are spiritual not a material thing that can be stolen from us. Knowing this, the story of sickness, fear and death comes to an end.
