Dreams and Nightmares - Why Do We Have Them?

Have you ever woken up from a nightmare, heart racing, and wondered, "Why do I keep having these dreams?" Or maybe you’ve experienced vivid dreams that feel so real, they linger long after you wake up.

In this episode of the Right Your Own Story Podcast, we explore the fascinating world of dreams and nightmares—why we have them, what they mean, and how they can reveal hidden messages from the unconscious mind.

I also dive into vicarious trauma, explaining how witnessing someone else’s suffering can lead to recurring PTSD dreams and nightmares.

🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Podcast:

✔️ Why do we dream? The role of the unconscious mind
✔️ Why do we have nightmares? How your brain processes fear and stress
✔️ Vicarious trauma – why witnessing others’ pain can lead to bad dreams and nightmares
✔️ How your brain waves (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta, Gamma) impact dreaming
✔️ The subconscious mind’s tactic to wake you up from a nightmare
✔️ Can therapy help? When nightmares might be a sign to seek support
