Bad dreams and nightmares can be extremely vivid, scary, distressing, and unsettling. Please note however that bad dreams do not always necessarily signify spiritual distress, e.g. a spiritual attack from the enemy. Bad dreams can sometimes be caused by e.g. going to bed with a lot on our minds (emotional stress), going through tough times, having our own worries, fears or imaginations spilling over into our dreams as our brains continue to be very active while we sleep, sleeping in certain uncomfortable positions, eating certain foods before bedtime, not regularly getting enough sleep, watching scary movies, encountering scary stories or disturbing news accounts in person, on TV or on the internet, physical or verbal altercations, fights, being very nervous about something, reading certain literature, and so on.

Whether the cause of a particular bad dream is an indication of spiritual, physical, mental or emotional distress, as Christians and children of the Most High God, our first and foremost response should be to go to God in prayer. When you’ve had a bad dream, please turn to God for deliverance, peace, comfort and clarity.

Please avoid distressing activities or thoughts especially just before bedtime. Instead, think good thoughts and do something very relaxing :). Remember to pray every night before you go to sleep, so you can go to sleep with a peaceful heart and a clear mind. Resist the devil, and he will flee (James 4:7). Maybe you’ve had a bad dream where you sinned in your sleep? Please, don’t be afraid to go to God, your heavenly father. Remember, The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin – We overcome by the blood of Jesus that was shed for us (See 1 John 1:7, Revelation 12:11).

Rest in God’s unfailing love, commit your life into God’s hands, and go forth in joy – Don’t let anything steal your joy!
If bad dreams are so disruptive that you are frequently unable to sleep, you are continually extremely distressed, or you are having a lot of trouble getting things done during the day because of this, please talk to your doctor as well.

One of my favorite Bible Verses against Bad Dreams is found in Psalm 4:8:
Psalm 4:8 ESV In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. (Amen)
This is a great scripture to read just before going to bed.
