DISPELLING FEARS AND DREAMS USING FANTASY. 

HERE IS A USEFUL EXERCISE.

As children grow their dreams become more and more vivid and real to them. While struggling to develop and become independent, their fear and anxieties manifest in dreams as a way of expression and release. Young children can usually remember their dreams and need little encouragement to get them to describe in great detail their entire dream. These play like movies in their heads and are fascinating to them. Examining your child’s dreams can help you to understand their fears better, and can provide an avenue for you to teach your child how to fight the battles he or she cannot yet do in their dreams to ward off those pesky monsters and beasts. Confronting a scary creature will make the dream a positive instead of a negative experience.

1. First discuss the dream with your child.

2. Be patient and let them tell you all about the dream.

3. Explain to them that you know a way to confront and deal with this monstrous creature.

4. Then have them breathe deeply and relax.

5. Put a pretend magic circle around them.

6. Tell them this circle will protect them from any creatures or characters they are afraid of.

7. Then suggest they try to talk to the dream character and ask it what it wants.

8. Tell them it won’t be scary because they are awake and remind them that they can stop the movie pictures of the dream in their head any time they want.

 

IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN 

 

Teaching Ways of Taking Control.

They are in total control of the dream and the creatures. When children have frightening dreams where they are being chased, they wake up before they are caught. They can learn to finish their dreams and get away from whatever is chasing them simply by turning around and asking the thing chasing them; “what do you want‿. You can say to your child; “Let’s see if we can make this dream turn out right this time. Remember you are making this movie in your head and they can’t hurt you.‿ Encourage them to finish the dream so they win and the monster creature loses. Amplify their dream and have them finish it with the monster leaving and/or better yet, becoming their friend. Learning to face their fears is a great way of understanding how to overcome obstacles. When they are thrown in situations of a fight or flee outcome, they will be more capable of confronting and fighting through their dilemmas instead of running from them.

 For the parent Intuitive Sensing 

 

This is an exercise that requires no ‘knowing’ participation on the part of your child up front. You will be testing his or her extra sensory perception and intuitive abilities. The more you use these, the more you will be amazed at how often and well this works. When your child is busy playing either alone or with other children, gently walk into the room. Sit or stand in a place comfortable but so their back is facing you.

Now begin to send them telepathic thoughts of what it is you would like them to do, such as, “Turn around Timmy‿ or “Timmy do you know I am standing or sitting behind you watching you?‿ or “Timmy, ask me what it is that I want.‿ or “What are you thinking about Timmy?‿ They will turn to you and answer your question. The younger the child is, the more likely they are to hear you telepathically. Put another twist on this exercise by, from another room, ask them to come into the room where you are because you need to tell them something. Don’t be surprised if they come. When alone with them, you can ask them simple questions telepathically. They will answer you.

By recognizing and using their psychic talents as children, they will carry into young adulthood the gifts God gave them and they will use them for their benefit. Instil in them a high sense of self esteem and that it is perfectly normal and OK to use these talents to assist them in accomplishing their tasks and goals.

Exercise their mind as well as their body!
