About the feeling of being haunted by nightmares and waking up after reading amitabha.

After reading your story, my first feeling is that the experience you described is true. You don't need to be afraid, let alone doubt. This often happens in the lives of people who have studied Buddhism and Taoism for a long time, especially in their dreams. Because when people are chanting, there is no doubt that their hearts are very pious, their thinking and attention are highly concentrated, and the nerve cells in their brains are in a state of high tension. After falling asleep, the cranial nerves suddenly relax, saying that the energy released by those cranial nerves after colliding with each other will naturally boom and even see light. This is not a joke. I also have real experience in this respect. It should be pointed out that both meditation and qigong practice require a high degree of concentration, because you are sincere. According to psychology, your subconscious will work after you consciously retire. At this time, the subconscious may demonstrate various contents. We just need to understand him and not be afraid of him. There is no hope and helplessness of letting nature take its course. If you are careless, he will rest. At the same time, it is required that when attending Buddha recitation, there should be no distractions in your mind, so don't be paranoid and feel the experience with a relaxed and comfortable attitude. Naturally, if you relax and don't think blindly, you will be unified with the spirit of Buddha. . .
