Don’t watch that, it’ll give you nightmares – #58 Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn

Today’s dose is about the things we watch, listen to and read – and the way they get into our heads.

I have dealt with symptoms of narcolepsy since I was a child. Narcolepsy affects the stages of sleep, including REM. I reach REM very fast, in less than 60 seconds. I have REM’d, with the movements, with my eyes open.

I’m also a lucid dreamer and once I go lucid, I have full control over everything I see and do. It’s fun and when I realize I’m lucid, I usually just ignore the entire dream and practice flying.

At some point in my life I noticed if I even ‘saw’ zombies… in my social feeds, a commercial, wherever – I’d end up dreaming I was battling them. If I watched something highlighted bad relationships, or read news about a home invasion, or heard some horrible thing that happened to someone on the news – it would make it’s way into my dreams.

Once I cut those things out of my life, my dreaming got easier and more fun. Then, I noticed something else. When the people in my life were being toxic, stirring up drama, acting a fool… it would come into my dreams at night.

I took that ‘protective’ wisdom and applied it to my entire life… i don’t have media fed to me - I go to it and choose what I see. I read more, listen to audio less. I avoid toxic people, drama – I practice self-care and excuse myself.

What you think about, you bring about. So, fill your eyes and ears with knowledge, awe, laughter and squeeze the juice out of all those feels to help you deal with the times when life comes at you. Watch, read and listen to things that give you the headspace to go to sleep at night, ignore your dreams and practice flying. It’s worth striving for – even if only metaphorically…
