I have heard from people talking about experiences with haunted dreams and nightmare. True, there might be scientific explanations about these phenomena but then growing up with beliefs deeply rooted in our culture often make us dread the experiences. Oftentimes, some people have to deal with the rest of the night unable to sleep and to cope with the anxiety.
I myself isn't immune to these haunted dreams and nightmares, and even though I have long read and welcomed the science behind them I still cannot deny the fact that I, too, have natural and residual fear when put in the situation. However, my mental reflex to resort to prayer has always been very helpful.
Through instant prayer the sense of belief that there is one powerful God who hears and delivers during dreadful occasions makes me overcome the feeling. Because I have made prayer as my refuge even in trivial situations the habit that's been developed always make its way when I am deep in haunted dreams or nightmare. It always offered me instant relief against the unfounded anxiety and allowed me to recover from it. Prayer has been a very helpful tool for me to be able to get back to sleep soundly right after the bouts.
