 (1).jpeg)
According to our scientists, the reasons behind nightmares are still mysterious, as no one has fully understood why nightmares occur. Scientists have discovered various reasons why individuals experience nightmares. It is said that daily life stress can be a reason behind nightmares. Children may experience nightmares due to school-related stress, and adults due to work-related worries. Additionally, experiencing traumatic events such as serious accidents or receiving bad news about someone's death can also lead to nightmares.
Causes of Nightmares:
According to astrological science, eating on the bed is considered inauspicious, as it can lead to nightmares due to the generation of negative energy in the house. Astrologers believe that if there is a Pitru Dosha (ancestral curse) in the horoscope, it can also cause nightmares.
Various other factors can significantly contribute to nightmares, such as:
- • Mental health: Individuals suffering from mental health issues, such as PTSD, often experience severe nightmares, which include traumatic and disturbing events.
- • Stress and anxiety: Individuals who are sad, anxious, and in stressful situations are prone to nightmares. Those who have been under prolonged stress or anxiety experience more frequent nightmares.
- • Medications: Individuals who excessively use certain prescription or illegal drugs are more likely to have nightmares.
- • Familial reasons: Genetic issues related to mental health can also cause nightmares.
- • Lack of sleep: Insufficient sleep can lead to vivid and disturbing dreams.
When do nightmares occur?
According to astrology, nightmares start occurring from the age of about 2 years. Nightmares usually occur during the sleep cycle between 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM. However, both children and adults can frequently experience nightmares, such as being chased by a frightening person or animal.
What is the astrological connection to nightmares?
Astrology suggests that if an individual is going through a bad phase of the Sun's Mahadasha (major period), they are prone to nightmares. A weak position of the Sun in the horoscope is considered to influence the frequency and nature of dreams. Strengthening the Sun's Mahadasha by offering water to the Sun daily and chanting the Sun mantra can help. It is particularly beneficial to offer water to the Sun on Sundays to please the Sun deity.
Some astrologers believe that if the phase of Mercury is weak, it can also lead to nightmares, including dreams of teeth falling out or bones breaking.
Remedies to avoid nightmares:
- • Astrologers suggest placing alum wrapped in a black cloth under the bed before sleeping to avoid nightmares.
- • It is said that placing a piece of alum under the pillow on a Tuesday can prevent children from having nightmares.
- • Burning camphor before going to sleep each night can lead to good sleep and relieve stress.
- • Reading the Hanuman Chalisa daily can gradually stop nightmares.

- • Keeping a knife or a sharp object under the pillow can prevent scary dreams.
- • Circling a raw coconut over one's head seven times and donating it to a temple, or doing the same with a black or white blanket 21 times and donating it to someone needy can prevent nightmares.
