1
Seek for a happy place
You need to look for a happy place. It is not somewhere around the globe. You can make a happy place or base it on an area where you have been to. Remember to choose a place which is calm, peaceful and relaxing. Keep in mind that you do not want to tell anyone whom you are not willing to see in your dream. If you do, he might enter your dream and mess everything there. -

Think happy thoughts
You should think of happy thoughts and happy things happening to you. You can imagine that you are flying without wings, be a super hero of your town, ruling the world etc. You can also think of yourself enjoying in your happy place. In case a bad thing starts happening in your dream, try to wake yourself up. By doing this, your bad imagination will start to disperse. -

Talk to someone
You need to tell someone about your dreams. This person should be trustworthy e.g. your close friend or family member whom you can express easily. Do tell him why you are scared. You can jolt down your nightmare in a dream journal as this will help you in explaining. After regularly sharing your nightmare with an understandable person, your bad dreams will go away. -

Relax
Sometimes you see nightmare because of stress. You need to relax yourself and get rid of all worries in night. If you are finding a job for a long time or facing a break up, you should relax. You can meditate, do yoga or spend a day at beach to relax.
