Perhaps your mind is too focused on the bad outcomes of a situation or you think you're not ready for something that has to come. If it’s a recurrent dream and you often find yourself anxious about daily life situations, there are steps you can take toward healing. Meditation is a good practice you can try at home, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a highly effective treatment you can try with a certified therapist.
