Dreams can be influenced by our experiences, sights, emotions, worries. and conscious thoughts during the previous day or so.

The more we let things disturb or excite us during our waking moments, the more they are likely to torment us as we sleep. Some things – such as movies with violence, sex or horror – we can avoid exposing ourselves to. Even for unavoidable things, we can lower the extent to which we dwell on them or get emotional about them. The more effectively we practice such Scriptures as the following, the more pleasant our sleep is likely to be:

Ephesians 4:26  . . . Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

Philippians 4:6,8 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. . . . whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.
