That's what I did for quite a while. But for those that consider themselves "spiritual", how can you maintain that lifestyle? This isn't "The Christ Followers" thread, but I wake up between 4am and 6am in the morning now. I pray several mornings for God to let me interact with my deceased Dad. How is he? Can I see him? Can I have a moment with him? God always delivers. If dreams are going awry, I can tell myself, "wake up, this is crazy, it is just a dream."
I finally came to the conclusion, if you are terrified of your dreams, and can't subconsciously tell yourself it is a dream, you have cursed dreams. It is up to you, and you alone rectify that with what you consider your creator. Nightmares are no way to go through life, and doing what you must, to not remember dreams is no way to go through life. They are an integral part of life, learning experiences, a look into your future, an introspection into your past, a glimmer at the other side. Do I dream of my old girlfriend? Yes. Do I dream of deceased relatives.? Yes. We spend a 3rd of our lives in bed, sleeping. Make the most of it.
