My Dream Sand Tray Therapy Analysis experience that I completed was a design of nightmares that I do not ever want to go back too. Whenever I have watched scary movies, once I have fallen asleep, then I would be a part of that scary movie. One dream in particular I can recall is as if I was a little girl who was haunted by ghost. I felt that the ghost would not say anything to me. The ghost would come to me and follow me. On this occasion, after my dream I remembered that I woke up to see if I was still dreaming because it felt so real. I felt scared and helpless during my dream because I did not see anyone in my dream that I was familiar with. I felt powerless and discomfort with making it this dream sand tray. This sand tray experience is an illustration of my need to express, create, and self-actualize my personal encounters in existence of my dream. It conveys an expression of a genuine landscape in a miniature size of my scary dream. Each miniature describes a part of my dream that in which I felt like I was a part of that terrifying movie. Creating this sand tray helped me to express a daunting landscape of my vision and delusion thoughts. This was an upsetting project to do because I had to reflect back on my encounters of an awful dream. Also it helped me to see-through my mind that sometimes in dreams it may be a warning sign for that person. This sand tray gives me a sense of unhappiness and a feeling of discomfort. This has gloomed me to really dig deep into why I would always dream about ghosts whenever I watched a scary movie. This would help me grow and maximizes my encounters in my dreams. This design is a reminder of dimness for me. I would not want to reflect back on this sand tray experience because of the dreariness of my dream. I will always reflect back on how this project can help me in applying an understanding of dreams.
