ฝันร้ายเป็นผลจากมลทินในกายฝัน แก้ได้ด้วยการอธิษฐานประกอบเหตุแห่งความดีและอธิษฐานขอไม่ฝันร้าย พร้อมเจริญภาวนาให้ติดปากติดใจ เพื่อให้บุญไหลผ่านชำระมลทินตลอดสายธรรมFrequent nightmares come from impurities in the subtle dream-body. The remedy is twofold — aspiring toward good deeds while praying not to have nightmares, and steady meditative recitation — so that merit flows through and purifies every layer of our being.
Someone asked: what's the remedy for frequent nightmares?
Frequent nightmares are a result of the subtle body — the dream-body. The human dream-body carries impurities, which is why nightmares occur. There are two remedies. First: make an aspiration, build the causes for goodness, and pray not to have nightmares. Second: cultivate meditation — reciting a meditation word until it becomes second nature, doing it often, morning and throughout the day, until it becomes habitual. Doing this lets the merit that flows in cleanse our entire lineage of bodies — the coarse human body, the subtle human body, the celestial body, the subtle celestial body, the Brahma body, the subtle Brahma body — our whole stream of elements and gets cleansed. So build the causes of morality, concentration, and wisdom together — give charity, keep precepts, cultivate meditation, and develop wisdom too — do it all, then pray not to have nightmares. The merit will then go to work correcting the im within that subtle body.
