How do you stop nightmares?

The person who discovers that'll be a millionaire.

Till then though, I've been told talking about them to someone helps.

[follow_the_fool]

To anyone? Or do you mean a "professional"?

[not_that_lockon]

Well, honestly I was probably thinking more someone you already know. Not everyone wants to go talking about what's inside their head to complete strangers, right?

[follow_the_fool]

... Right. I don't think anyone outside of this place would believe me, anyway.

[glubspeak]

Stop being afraid.

[follow_the_fool]

I'm not sure that I can.

[follow_the_fool]

The things I dream about have already happened. It's not just my imagination.

... What do you mean, "spoken to"?

[stripping]

Find what makes you feel safe.

[follow_the_fool]

I'm not sure what that is anymore.

[stripping]

That is the hard part, isn't it?

[follow_the_fool]

Yes, indeed.

[makewayforroze]

What's causing them?

[follow_the_fool]

Something happened a year ago. It was... Pretty bad.

[makewayforroze]

Would you like to talk about it?

[follow_the_fool]

It's hard to make myself think about. But... Yes. Perhaps so.

Dreams are manifestations of your subconscious wishes, desires, fears. So you should talk about them. Make them conscious so that your mind won't have to deal with them overnight during its downtime.

[follow_the_fool]

What if what you're dreaming about it something that happened to you in real life? Something that you can't forget.

[negative_five]

Isn't that why nightmares happen? Because it's composed of things that happens to you that you can't forget and thereby can't process? So my answer shouldn't change. You should talk to someone about it. Is there a friend you have going through the same thing?

[follow_the_fool]

No. I'm the only one. It was... My choice to stay behind so that no one else was involved. But you're right. There is someone who I should talk to.

Thank you.
