Try having her imagine a happy dream before she goes to sleep - explain that what she thinks about before bed tells her brain what she wants to dream about. Help her imagine the scene in great detail, sounds and smells and textures, etc. If she keeps coming back to the nightmares, just tell her it's not time to think about that right now, it's time to think about happy things. You could also try some guided imagery for kids, using a book like Starbright, Imaginations or Aladdin's Magic Carpet; or an audio recording such as Still Quiet Place, Indigo Ocean Dreams, or Bedtime Meditations for Kids. Even an audiobook that you leave on until she falls asleep might be helpful.
During the day, let her talk through the nightmares but also help her come up with a happy ending to them - the skeletons fall into a pile of dead bones and a dog comes and starts chewing on them, or the nuclear war turns out to be candy falling from the sky instead of anything dangerous. Basically you want her feel like she has some control over the nightmares so they aren't this unpredictable scary thing.
Getting her a special nightlight, a stuffed animal protector, or a dreamcatcher might be worth trying too.
I'd pay an art troupe that specializes in spontaneous nude appearances to knock on their door and invite them outside their house. Then, through interpretive dance in time to some soothing tunes by Kitaro and with the help of a TV camera atop a rented lift projecting an overhead image to an LCD TV before them, I'd announce that I'd won the jackpot. The scene would close with the dancers all fluttering to rest like autumn leaves, folding themselves to the ground, while a green-clad little person with a bucket of Monopoly money skips among them and throws fake dolla bills around them.
I have a subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited so I just type in keywords for whatever sound I want to listen to, and this led me to finding albums of just the sounds of Tibetan singing bowls. My favorite album is: Tibetan Singing Bowls for Relaxation, Meditation, and Chakra Balancing. Here is the direct link to it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BX1MKU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_A.kJzbS70EYA6
1. Something grey
2. Thunderstorm MP3
3. Take your pick just scroll down
4. For my baby because I want a cool ass baby haha! Also, daddy will like it!
5. The Hater trilogy, linked is the first of the 3. This book keeps you on your toes. It's an amazing apocalyptic book that has immense imagery. All I can say is read it.
6. Nail tape, it's not nail polish, just decoration.
7. Cats! There is a cat in the design.
8. So pretty!!
9. Because it'll always put a smile on your face!
10. Survival Backpack Has enough items to help a group of 4 survive for 72 hours. This will give the people with the pack a 72 hour head start from everyone else to establish a safe spot. Everyone else is trying to find essentials now getting stuck and eventually taken over by a hoard, whereas the person with the pack doesn't need to waste time getting food, water, and some medical kit.
11. Cookware My boyfriend and I have been living with his parents for a while now and we are getting our own apartment soon (all utilities included, yay!!). His parents decided not to pay the gas company the $500 deposit to have it turned on because we live in the south and don't need to heat our apartment, we would only use gas for cooking. Because of that I haven't had a meal cooked on/in a stove in about a year. We either eat things fresh, microwaved, in a crock pot, or fried. I am sick and fucking tired of it. With the cookware I'll be able to change my eating habits because I won't be limited to what things I can cook with. Also, when I was a little girl, I never ate at a kitchen table because we didn't have one. We would eat meals separately, and I always longed for the family dinner atmosphere. My goal is to have a family dinner at least 3 times a week. I know the cookware won't help me achieve that goal, but it puts me one step closer.
12. Baby mittens
13. Soda Stream It's the 2nd most expensive item, the survival pack above is, but the Soda Stream is my dream item. My ex roommate had one and it's amazing! Also, I'm pregnant and can't have caffeine, but I love the bubbles so much!!! With the Soda Stream, I'll be able to make anything carbonated!!! I LOVE mixing in the Crystal Light powered packets, yummy!!
14. Cute storage cube
15. Owl Necklace
16. Chocolate
17. Beautiful Katmari

Thanks for the contest, this was fun!!
fear cuts deeper than swords
It sounds like your situation currently involves strong, crisis-level tensions. Until the tensions are reduced, it would be hard to achieve balance. So you don't want to be using high power techniques right now.
At the same time, though, to get off medication and restore control, you would need to reduce those tensions. Doubtless, the simple passage of time will help. But don't underestimate the value of simple guided meditations - chakra balancing and relaxation - in situations like this.
There are many out there. I tried a fair number of them and found this chakra balancing routine by Deepak Chopra available from Amazon digital music to be simple, calming and effective. But it is just one example.
So for recommendations, I Beth Freschi is probably one of my all time favorites. Here's her [amazon page)]
Lisa Guyman is also pretty good, she has a few but this is my favorite)
You can also suggest she try some of the quick samples on amazon or other mediation sites - meditation is hit or miss, and what one person likes isn't the same for everyone (very much like ASMR videos) I don't like 90% of them out there, so it can take a bit to find what you like.
Another trick is to make a routine - I know everyone says that, but it does work. I was so skeptical and I would give up a few days into it because it wasn't working, but if you keep at it, it works. Something like have a cup of herbal tea before bed, brush teeth, get into bed, rub a bit of lavender oil on your face, take a few deep breaths, snuggle under the covers and listen to your meditations.
/u/davedawg21 heads up...here’s a Canadian contest!!
Something crazy cool on my .com list is...an album from 1984, that I owned on cassette because I stole it from my mom, and I listened to it whenever I needed to chill out relax. And it’s got a great name- Deep Breakfast
nice isn't it, it's nocturne in d flat by Michael Allen Harrison

For meditation, I prefer tech-assisted styles that use binaural beats. Things like the iAwake Profound Meditation Program, or the stuff from Centerpointe. Also this: https://www.amazon.com/Awakened-Mind-System-Jeffrey-Thompson/dp/B0011ZRTCU/
If you're just starting out, guided meditations can be really helpful, and there apps Buddhify and HeadSpace give you a ton of options for that.
Straight up meditation (like Zen) is really hard and takes tons of discipline and support from teachers/community, so I don't recommend it right off the bat.
These other tools allow you to make it a habit, and THEN explore different styles. Also, 5 minutes every day is better than an hour once a week.
bangin to beethoven. i needta copyright that shit.

I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt. That wasn't my intention.
>it would have been nice if you just read the thread
I did read the thread, and your explanatory text too. And things are certainly clearer there. But the sub I submitted this to is called /r/titlegore, not /r/threadgore. Again, I'm sorry if this upset you.
I'm glad you found four people who could offer you some comments. But if you'd wanted more technical, historically- and theoretically-informed answers to your query, it would have been better to formulate your question more precisely and clearly.
Now that I understand more of what you were getting at, perhaps I can offer some guidance:
(1) Modern Western pitch-naming derives from a system that has its origins in ancient Greek music theory and was applied in Medieval times (using the labels Γ A B C D E F G a b c d e f g aa bb cc dd ee) to a diatonic system that had no chromatics in it (or chromatics that were only introduced during performance, not in notation). So our modern system of using letters (A B C D E F G) originated when that's all that was needed, nothing in between.
(2) As chromatic pitches made their way into Western music, the easiest way to indicate them was as alterations of the diatonic pitches that were normative at the time. So they would write two kinds of B: a "hard" B (which was written like a squared lower-case b, and eventually became our modern natural symbol) and a "soft" b (which looks like a regular lower-case b, and eventually became our modern flat symbol).
(3) Probably the earliest example of a unique and equally differentiated label (what I assume you mean by "serious") for a pitch outside the original diatonic system is the use of H for our modern B-natural and B for our modern B-flat. This still persists in certain Germanic countries and languages (hence the use of titles like Fugue in H for a piece in B and Sinfonie in B for a piece in B-flat. While B and H look unique these days, they still evince their origin as variations of the letter B.
(4) Raised pitches were indicated by an X (and variations on it) as a kind of "crossing out" of the diatonic pitch, to be replaced by the chromatic one. This X eventually became our modern sharp symbol, and -- like the flat -- is evidence of the a priori referential status of the diatonic pitches in Western musicians' minds at the time.
(5) The very term "chromatic" belies the prejudice that there are normative pitches (A B C D E F G) and colorations of them (like F#). And for hundreds of years, this was a rather accurate representation of the hierarchy between diatonic and chromatic pitches.
(6) With the rise of transposition, specifically moving the tonic to pitches other than C, the diatonic collection of pitches was no longer tied only to the pitches A B C D E F and G. For example, in the key of D major, a C-sharp is diatonic but a C-natural is chromatic. But the letter-name symbology, and even the very structure of the keyboard (on the organ, clavichord, harpsichord, piano, and other similar instruments) remained entrenched in Western musical thought and practice, giving certain pitches a more normative status and making others dependent on them.
(7) Some musicians have developed systems to represent the twelve unique pitch classes (C, C#/Db, D, etc.) with labels devoid of prejudice towards diatonicism. The most widely used is integer notation, in which C is labeled 0, C# or Db is labeled 1, D is labeled 2, and so on. In this way, for example, a whole-tone scale starting on C can be represented as 02468T (with "T" for 10) and a whole-tone scale starting on A would be 9E1357 (with "E" for 11) -- no "chromatic" notation necessary. This is widely used in theoretical writing about non-tonal music (in scholarly books and articles), but as far as I know has never been used successfully as a means of notating music for performance.
(8) When it comes to pitches "in the cracks" between the traditional 12 pitch classes (i.e., pitches not on the traditional keyboard), most notational systems still use a normative vs. altered approach, which gives more primal status to 12-tone equal temperament over microtones. Here's one example. Would these be examples of classifications you call "not serious"?
(9) There have been attempts to label microtones without using staff notation, since staff notation is clearly prejudiced towards diatonicism. Here's one attempt, but even that seems to view the 12 equal-tempered pitch classes as normative (0, 1, 2, etc.) and microtones as measured from them (2.4, 5.1, etc.).
(10) There have been scattered attempts at creating non-hierarchical systems, to avoid the very prejudice you've alluded to. Frequency is one method (C=261.1Hz; a quarter tone above that is 269.2654651Hz; and so on). None of these has caught on to any significant extent, mostly because they are so foreign from the systems that Western musicians have been steeped in for their entire musical lives.
Hoping this helps!
