Hi all,

I start to pray 54 Day Rosary from 8th October, and now this is 14th day. Many wonders happen in my family during these 14 days. However, today something weird happens.

Today afternoon I prayed Rosary (including meditating the mysteries) as usual and ask Mother for help. After that i felt very tired and then I took a nap. I dreamt myself praying Rosary again and again and I keep praying even after I woke up. Am I praying too much?

Thanks
 
I do not know if you are praying too much but, I do know you won’t suffer in the afterlife for it if you do! Is it possible you are too focused on the result/condition which you are praying the novena? Are you overly worried about something? Remember what Jesus said about the birds worrying about where they will get clothes to wear…do not worry, have faith…

There is a group/forum here in CA on scrupulosity; you will probably find your answer there. God bless you.
 
Hi JosephPang…you know that my sense is that no you are not praying too much…although I say that without understanding how much time each day you spend in reciting the rosary…like ar e you doing all four sets of mysteries each day…if so that shouldn’t be over prayer…

In terms of your dream…that is all it is - a dream - don’t interpret too much into it…however, like any other psychological reaction (i.e. dreams, nighmares, loss of sleep, etc.) then you should connect with a priest and/or catholic psychologist to see what is happening…

I think that when you are doing something that is intense you do dream about these things and sometimes you are in between the dream and wake states…there is nothing abnormal about that…

I agree with the responder though…that there are many resource you can find online and even that group here on Catholic answers …I can’t spell the word…so I trust you have read his or her response…
