Hypnotherapy to help you find meaning in your dreams and nightmares.

We all dream, we're naturals at it, and as the old joke says, we are so good at dreaming that we do it in our sleep. It's in our dreams that our minds run free with little or no interference from our conscious minds.

For most of us we never really remember the full dream, instead we may remember odd glimpses of it, little aspects that stay with us. We may also have new fresh dreams every night.

However some people have recurring dreams or nightmares which can play on their minds and cause ongoing insomnia and anxiety as they spend valuable sleep time trying to find meanings into the dream or why they wake up at the same time with it.

Often clients I work with will start to dream more, or at least remember more of their dreams. Often they will open up and talk about recurring dreams or nightmares that trouble them and the fact that they are trying to find meaning from them can lead to additional frustration.

What are dreams and why am I having a recurring one night after night?

We are all used to story times as children and how these stories had a meaning. In many cultures stories are a way of passing down learning's and understanding from generation to generation, and so it's a natural learning process that's engrained in society.

Sleep research shows that sleeping and dreaming are linked. The mind and the body don't work independently, so dreams are a critical part of our health.

In many cases the dreams are the unconscious's way of processing the days information and events. In recurring dreams it can be the unconscious sending us information, and it sends it through the metaphors and stories. There are often messages within the dreams but of course we find it hard to analyse them consciously because they often make little sense.

What's the traditional method of dream analysis

There are endless books written and many online sites and dictionaries for interpreting your dreams and nightmares. In fact you may already have visited these sites or read these books but still feel as if you are putting two and two together and coming up thirty seven!

The difficulty is that these books and sites are not you. More specifically they don't have access to your unconscious mind, your memories or how it processes information. Another difficulty is that consciously we are more likely to see into dreams what we want to see. Consciously we cannot be objective enough or open enough to the message.

How can accessing my unconscious mind help me to find meanings in my dreams or nightmares

The reason we access the unconscious mind is because the unconscious is the storehouse of all your memories. Its permanent memory and it remembers everything you've forgotten or never knew consciously and so every aspect of our lives can show up in dreams and nightmares.

By communicating directly with your unconscious mind we can start the process of unlocking and understanding the message that dreams are holding for you.

Dream interpretation allows us to get back in touch with our intuition, it allows us to become clearer about everyday life.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required will vary according to how open you are with the process. In most cases 2 sessions is enough to gain an understanding and insight. More sessions maybe needed if the recurring dream is attached to a traumatic event.

What's the cost per session?

The cost per session is £60, with each session normally lasting between 90 minutes to 2 hours.

How can I pay for treatment?

Payment is per session and can be paid in cash, debit card, Visa or MasterCard at the end of each session.
