Who hasn’t woken up scared or frightened? Come to understand if nightmares are bad and how you can use them to your advantage
Who has never dreamed of the death of a loved one? Or did you wake up scared because you had a nightmare with a snake? There are still those who dream of abortion or pregnancy, and both can be negatively understood by the dreamer. But are nightmares bad?
According to symbolologist Yub Miranda, the the unconscious alerts us through dreams. However, if we are not careful or fail to understand the message, the unconscious will increase the frequency or intensity of dreams with the same theme: that’s when nightmares arise.
“It’s a strategy to capture our true attention. Just as we’re hit by shocking, violent, or radical scenes in movies, nightmares have the same effect,” compares Yub.
Are nightmares bad?
So, going back to the original question, it’s possible to say that nightmares aren’t bad. In fact, they can be even more important and it is important to pay special attention when they occur.
But there is no magic formula for interpreting nightmares: each case is unique. So, to understand the nightmare’s message, you have to connect it to what you’re thinking, feeling, or wishing for. For example:
- If you dream about Snake: Reflect on whether you are experiencing impulsiveness, a defensive posture or stagnation in your life.
- dream of death: think about which characteristics of this person marked you and how they affect you.
- Dream about miscarriage or unwanted pregnancy: reflect if you have any difficulty or lack of creativity for something important.
If you are having trouble understanding the messages, the dream interpretation process can be done with the help from a dream specialistsuch as a therapist or dream analyst.

According to the psychologist Thais Khouryif nightmares remind you of traumatic situations already experienced by the dreamer, this also happens for good reason.
“They happen with the intention of depleting the energy that has built up around the trauma, until it runs out or this situation can be re-signified consciously,” explains the specialist.
Another possibility, according to her, is the compensatory dream function (understand better here). If the dreamer has felt a lot of anger in a situation during the day without showing it, at night he can manifest this aggression in a nightmare.
“In this way the dream “relieves” the psychic tension generated by the disagreement between the outside and the inside, even if temporarily,” says Thaís.
