I have always had odd, vivid, scary dreams, but when the deepest, darkest, black-pit-of depression that I've ever had hit 3 years ago, I decided to write them down. I write alot of my dreams down, right when you wake up is best. I researched and read about nightmares and dreams and I actually was able to stop a recurring nightmare. This individual whom I call "The evil one" that tried to and said he would destroy me (in real life) kept popping in my dreams. I would be having a pleasant dream then he would 'pop' in, often with his evil clan and cohorts. I'm not really sure how I did it but I was ready one night and confronted him in the dream. He was demanding me to sign legal papers and was keeping me from entering the safe sanctuary of a church. I simply just said "no" to him in the dream. He looked agitated and annoyed and then left! I was very shaky and was crying but knew I had 'done it"! Now he rarely 'pops' into my dreams. I also see dreams as symbols from our subconcious that demand our attention to change something about ourselves or something important that we shouldn't ignore. I would be happy to elaborate further, if anyone is interested.
