I believe it is your emotions concerning sleep. The anxiety that caused you to not want to sleep. If you are still a nurse and still need to remain awake this will be harder to correct. If you are no longer a nurse and have the freedom to sleep when you feel tired or wake up when you feel rested, then try the natural approach unless a doctor has recommended you not to stop taking the sleeping aid.

It may take some time to retrain your body and mind to enjoy sleep. Once you do though, I believe your talents will return, and may come back Shockley strong.

Your focus is on dreams, but it should be on natural sleep cycles.

I have been trying to restart my dreaming abilities by making intentions before sleep. I have tried to dream about Dallas, upcoming events in my area, my career. All to no avail. I'm getting zip, nada. I thought it was because I was trying to attempt too much too soon so dialed it back to just intending to remember my dreams. Again, nothing. So, my question is this. I have anxiety about being able to sleep which started when I became a nurse. I was so afraid of not sleeping and then making a mistake at work that I basically developed sleep anxiety. It has carried over to every night and I always take melatonin to help me get to sleep. I am wondering if this may be causing my dream issues. Perhaps it is blocking the pathway that would help me remember? Not quite sure how to put it. I have only been attempting dream intentions for about a week. What is more likely the culprit: the short amount of time or the melatonin? I really believe that I can be of help here if I can get beyond this issue.
Thanks for your help
