DISTRESSED BY DREAMS
Question—Can it be worth while for one of seventy to attempt to subdue that part of the subjective mind which causes a strange perversion to be manifested in dreams? My dreams are wholly unlike the life I live—a sort of low-brow personality always in some distressing mix-up, toiling to no purpose, alone and in want, childish fear of burglars, etc. I have studied to overcome this condition but nothing has improved that undercurrent of misery, or obsession, you might call it.
ANSWER—If you treat yourself each day to know that during the night your mind is undisturbed by any dreams and is at peace, you will, by making these definite statements overcome the habit of dreaming.
VICTIM OF CHRONIC WORRY
Question—Troubles and ill health seem to have made me a chronic worrier and I am extremely sensitive; my surroundings are not to my liking and the unhappiness seems to aggravate my physical condition. I can analyze myself, but
(page 81) never seem able to help myself. It is imperative that I regain my health as I have an invalid mother to take care of.
ANSWER—A chronic habit becomes such through a repeated subconscious habit. A false sense of pers0nal responsibility is the parent-seed of the worry habit, and sensitiveness or "nerves" is the logical result. Analysis reveals the error, but a determined, persistent, definite practice in neutralizing this condition by an opposite thought of truth is necessary for a healing. Worry has brought neither health nor happiness. Use the imagining and creative faculty of mind to free yourself of the habit. Each day see yourself well, active and radiantly happy, striving with all your understanding to "change your mental concept." Practicing this as often as you can, daily, will work wonders. Get a new frame in mind and put a new picture in it.
