When you are falling asleep, does your mind give you a warning that you're going to have a nightmare before you get there?

1 Answer

Answer :

I don’t remember that specific thing, maybe mainly because I don’t usually have bad dreams right as they start. But setting an intention before sleeping can definitely work, as can waking up from an annoying dream, and being partly aware of the dream and the waking world especially when falling asleep.
