RE: "I came across frightening entities who wanted to kill me" - The nature of nightmares and what you can do to remain safe and sound!
It got me thinking really hard. That was a good read. I don’t know if you also have this belief in your country or is it just in ours (I’m from the Philippines, by the way), but we have this belief that when you sleep with a full stomach that is when you will experience between life and death dream. Some say, there are those big, fat and horrible looking creatures that seem like sitting above you and others would be out of breath because of it. I would like hear your thoughts about it. Or to any readers who were able to experience or heard about it. I have experienced a different thing but I would love to hear stories of your experiences. And if it is also true and is existing in other countries.
I'm not familiar with such a belief or similar.
I think it originated in the advice not to eat a lot before going to sleep, a good advice unto itself.
When you burden your physical body with processing food, the consciousness experiences difficulties to go deep into the dream realms. Therefore, your natural ability to refresh yourself during sleep is compromised. I suggest to eat a light dinner, 3-4 hours before going to sleep. Not only it will help your diet, it will also improve the quality of your sleep.
Second point to mention is addiction. When one is addicted to food and eats a lot without balance, in the dreams one meets same entities that have similar addictions. The problem is that the feeding continues and thetefore any attempt to lose weight is bound to fail.
Thank you for your reply! It confirmed my hunch that this belief does not exist in a different country. Also, a thumbs up for your enlightening explanation. Yeah, it is just wise to eat a light meal before sleeping. Will surely take your advice and even share it to my friends. Thank you! 😊
Yeah it may just only exist here or maybe not. But it did happen to me. I slept with my stomach full some years ago thinking it would never happen because I do not believe it but then I woke up from a nightmare I didn't expect. Whoa! From then on I never slept when I'm full or after eating.
