I’m remembering back to when I was around three years old. This is when I first discovered something different within my mind.It happened all of a sudden, one night when I first fell asleep, with my eyes closed, I saw this movie playing in my head, I saw my closet door, it was closed and I heard voices calling me from within. I got up out of bed and opened the closet door, immediately fright shivered from the top of my head to the bottom of my toes. I saw many, many very scary faces, all yelling and screaming, these faces looked like clown faces with fanged teeth. As I turned around to run, my eyes opened, as I laid in bed, I looked at the closet door, it was closed. At that moment confusion set in, because I did not remember if I closed the closet door or remember jumping back into bed.
The rest of the night I laid in bed with the blanket over my head and my back facing the closet door. Every time I tried to close my eyes to sleep, I saw those faces yelling and screaming. I would open my eyes, turn around, look at the closet door, and it would be closed. I laid there in bed, frightened all night, wondering how I would exit my room, because I had to go past the closet door, but yet, I was creatively thinking of ways to exit my room.
When it was sunlight, I came to the conclusion, run as fast as I can, and if anything was to happen I will deal with it then, because I had many plans in my mind for many scenarios. I ran and woke up my mom.
My mom told me I was dreaming, that it was not real, she took me to the closet door and opened it, and showed me there was nothing to be afraid of. My mom told me, to tell myself, ‘ I only want to dream nice dreams not scary dreams’ she told me to say this 3 times every night, and no more scary dreams, they will be gone forever.
Later that night when I went to bed, as soon as I closed my eyes, there they were, the faces. I closed my eyes as tight as I could and from deep down within me, I felt, if I told myself over and over again No More Dreams, No more dreams, No more dreams, do not dream, no more dreams, no.. more dreams, do.. not.. dream, no… more… dreams… no…._______.
This reoccurred for 3 nights, and now here I am 50 years old, and still have not dreamed.
True story only the Honest Truth will be spoken here.
I have learned over the years, everyone dreams at some time or another, but for the few who do not remember their dreams, simply means we have no anxieties.
Believe it or not at the young age of three years old I was first discovering the power of my mind.
As I got older I could block out pain and heal myself.
I will share with you more of my life lessons
