Upon awakening from a bad dream, and while still in bed, take a moment to calm yourself.

• Visualize a bright red sun coming toward you, entering your body through the center of your forehead. See it moving down to the center of your body, about two inches below the navel.
• Fill your entire body with the red sunlight. Let it take the place of any negative effect of the dream. All negativity is gone.
• Visualize the bright red sun rising from the bottom of your feet to your navel, to your throat, and out the center of your forehead. See all your troubles exiting your body. You are free of anything bothering you. You are light, almost translucent.
• Repeat the movement of the red sun, in and out, 2 or 8 more times. Upon completion, you may be able to decipher the dream and take whatever action is needed.

And, parents, you can do this for your child. Just imagine the red sun entering and exiting the child’s body. You may find your child sleeping more soundly and mornings more calm and peaceful.
