Believe it or not, many people have experienced nightmares to some extent. When half asleep and half awake, one feels somewhat conscious but physically unable to move, and in severe cases, they may even dream of being trapped in eerie scenes from which they cannot escape.
In reality, such nightmares are caused by human mental activities。 When a person is under excessive mental stress during sleep, it becomes easier for them to experience night terrors。 Since the bedroom is where people rest, if its feng shui layout is problematic and coupled with poor mental health, this situation may occur frequently。
Bed Position Opposite the Door
Having the bed directly opposite the door is a major taboo in bedroom feng shui。 Since doors are pathways for airflow, when the bed is positioned at the end of the door’s path, it can subtly affect mental and cognitive functions while sleeping。 If the bedroom layout cannot be easily modified, consider using specific feng shui items to mitigate this issue。 For detailed guidance, consult a professional feng shui expert。
Storage Cabinets Causing Pressure
A bedroom environment should ideally be clean and tidy, not cluttered with miscellaneous items。
If the bed is near tall cabinets and these cabinets have objects piled on top, they create a sense of pressure on the bed from a feng shui perspective。 This can lead to increased mental tension during sleep, resulting in frequent nightmares。
Unnatural Sleeping Posture
During sleep, external sensory perception decreases while internal organ sensitivity increases。 If a person’s hand unintentionally rests near their chest area during sleep, it can place pressure on the heart。 The brain cortex then reacts obediently, leading to nightmares.
Dimmer Lighting
With increasing work and life pressure, many people now demand better sleep quality, often seeking completely dark environments by adding blackout curtains。
However, overly blocked light in a room can increase indoor “yin energy,” creating mental stress and negatively impacting sleep。 Allowing natural light to enter moderately can actually promote restful sleep.
Fancy-Shaped Lighting
In feng shui, lamps with imported designs are considered “broken type”. They can cause mental tension, leading to vivid or vigorous dreams and disrupting sleep patterns.
Lack of Support at the Bedhead
Just like everything in life needing support, beds require it too。
If the head of the bed lacks reliability, it can contentedly reduce a person’s sense of security, leading to frequent nightmares. Therefore, it’s advisable for the bedhead to be placed against a wall。 If this isn’t feasible due to room layout, alternative support items can be used。
