I Think I've Been Cursed

Wow I think a crystal would work and meditate and try grounding and shielding

Hey can you please contact me? On my profile I have my e-mail and my skype name is nikolitsa.ts... So please feel free to add me on fb or skype! I'd love to help you if I can of course! Since I am greek too, we can discuss better =]

When you say you had nightmares while awake what do you mean? Do you want to give an example?

First of all you aren't cursed, nobody has the power to curse you. That's just superstition.:) According to a theory "curses" can only happen as a type of karma, if an injustice was committed. If your mother had the same issue, then the karma wouldn't even be yours. If something bad has happened in your family background that would deserve bad karma and you know about it, that's a different topic. But it doesn't sound like it.

What you describe sounds more like psychic abilities that you aren't aware of & your mother had them too. Firstly you're possibly picking up people's and places' negativity. Not negativity towards you, but their own problems. This tires you and disturbs your psyche.
If this is the case, be careful of talismans, like curse-blockers, you might be wearing. Only wear protective items that come from someone you trust, or better yet, wear nothing like that because you could react to the maker's energy.

Try to develop your spiritual side by meditating for example. You have a Higher Self, like a higher mind that functions from a good perspective only. This Higher Self is fearless and is active during dreaming as well. Instead of interpreting dreams like why am 'I' seeing this, watch the dreams as if your Higher Self is dealing with them.

If you avoid sleeping you're just stressing your mind even more. Try to approach this without fear, as the nightmares cannot harm you anyway. The more you 'fight' with your mind, the harder it will be. Dreams like being hunted, and fighting demons are actually common for people who develop their psychic side. Mostly in the beginning stages.

Such dreams could also be stress-related or just physical. If so, they will stop if you go to bed more relaxed. Lavender is a very calming essence and thyme tea can help to relax the brain, especially if you study a lot. Also avoid coffee a few hours before going to bed.

Since you're christian orthodox, you can go to your church and get some holy water. This can be used to bless your home. You can keep it in your room and even put some in your hair before going to sleep. If you fear some evil energy is acting against you, holy water is one of the strongest barriers you can use & it's free:)
