This topic was inspired by an email I recently received: <em>“Since dreams come from our busy minds, can we slowly over time change our dreams in some way?&nbsp; I do not always remember dreams obviously but when I am awakened by dreams (often) or remember the next day, I do have a recurring pattern of always hurrying or being super frustrated, anxious!&nbsp; I cannot help but think this is part of why I get so tired some days as I do not rest peacefully at night.&nbsp; I’m just thinking dreams must be all part of the mental mind and I would love to have my dreams peaceful, pleasant, restful, whether I remember the dream or not, I feel like not having all the anxiety and frustration in the dreams would be very helpful to my awake hours.”&nbsp;</em></p> <p>We need to remember that <strong>detoxing the mind and brain doesn’t just take place when we are awake</strong>. We also detox our thoughts when we sleep. in fact, our dreams can help us sort out our thoughts and clean up our mental mess. They have a purpose—recurring dreams may even indicate an unresolved issue in our lives, so it is important that we try and pay attention to what we dream about.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Read the show blog here:&nbsp;https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-neuroscience-of-dreams-nightmares-how-to-have-better-dreams-help-your-children-process-understand-nightmares</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Sign up to Patreon to get access to bonus ad-free podcasts, exclusive downloads, live Q&amp;As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarol
