My mind is taken by fantasies when I try to sleep.

    I have a very vivid imagination which is great for when I am pursuing my writing hobby. It is terrible when I am trying to sleep and fetishized images pop into my head and strike me when I am most vulnerable. Does anyone else deal with this? Has anyone found a way of to fighting their own imagination?

    I used to imagine a tv on a static channel (hiss, flickering white-and black visuals). You can't really imagine anything when you're doing that.

    Nowadays fantasies aren't problematic for me so I just let them happen.

    Anytime I have even the remotest feeling of a fantasy popping up, I imagine the following:
    The sight of a big red circle with a cross in it take over my entire vision,
    The sound of really urgent warning sirens, or screeching of fingernails on black boards,
    The feeling of my fingernails being really painfully pulled out.
    It all sounds very extreme, although it is very effective at stopping the thoughts dead in its tracks
