How to Heal Your Nightmares - by Meg Renfri Bartlett (Paperback)

About the Book

A memoir and guide for facing your nighttime monsters and using their wisdom to heal your life.

Book Synopsis

Plagued by twenty years of recurring nightmares and sleep paralysis demons, Meg Bartlett was thrown into a struggle for survival the moment she became her family's secret keeper at just six years old. Meg's nightmares pursued her from a childhood in Iowa to a warehouse in Afghanistan until she turned to face them... and realized they had been trying to share their helpful wisdom with her the whole time.

This is the true story of finding a light at the bottom of the bottom of the hole. By recording, interpreting, and applying the wisdom of her nightmares, Meg, a US Marine Corps veteran, explores what she truly fears and works her way through the complicated weave of suicidal ideation, childhood abuse, and terrifying nighttime monsters to finally heal and live the life she was always meant to discover.

How to Heal Your Nightmares is a memoir and guide for those who have experienced and survived the terror of nightmares-those both dreamed and lived. Through personal narrative, real examples of nightmare exploration and interpretation, and a brief compendium of common nightmares and their meanings, Meg guides readers to connect with their unique internal wisdom and become the most powerful healing force in their own lives.
