Shwe Oo Min Dhammasukha Tawya 2019 Vassa Q&A 20190721
Yogi: I woke up scared stiff from a nightmare. What should I do?
Sayadaw: Don’t replay the dream because dreaming is just thinking – try to be mindful of the feeling instead. You already feel scared when you wake up. (The feeling is obvious.)
So, don’t think; try to be aware of your feeling instead.
You have to practice staying with the unpleasant feeling; you can learn to make that a habit. Thinking is just thinking – dreaming is thinking.
