Age regression and dreaming

What is age regression?

Age regression is where a person's thoughts, behavior and emotions are similar to that of a younger person! They regress to the ages younger than their bodily age! Some might even consider it to be a subconscious defense mechanism when the person has emotions which overwhelms them.

People regress to cope with trauma, stress, PTSD, anxiety or other mental health issues. Many people regress because it makes them feel safe when they have bad emotions or trauma related episodes!

That being said, that isn't the only reason why people might regress. Some people might regress when they feel sad and would like to destress and feel happier while others may regress mostly because they'd like to!

People who age regression do activities such as playing with stuffies, coloring, playing pretend, games, and others which children usually do! The activities they do depends on the age they are regressing to as well as the particular individual!

Impure regression vs. Pure regression

Impure regression is where you might be having traumatic flashbacks/issues or mental health issues making you feel really down. Impure regression is an involuntary response and can't be controlled since it is triggered! This will be a really scary experience especially since it involves thinking about bad/traumatic memories!

Pure regression on the other hand is where you feel much happier and safer when you regress! This is a voluntary regression and not always triggered. This is a much happier regression when compared to impure regression. When going through stress or a certain trigger, pure regression can be impure!

Voluntary regression vs. Involuntary regression

Voluntary regression is where a person regresses on their own accord! This is done intentionally by the person to cope with trauma, stress or for fun!

Involuntary regression is where a person regresses unconsciously due to stressful situations! You do not mean to regress in this situation but you regress anyway.

What is age dreaming?

An age dreamer is someone who does not go into the mindset of a child nor do their emotions, behaviors or mannerisms get affected! They do, however, like to do the activities as age regressor might do such as coloring, play pretend, etc! Some may even use pacifiers, sippy cups and other essentials age regressors might use!

Age dreamers are completely valid too as they might do these activities for stress relief and a coping mechanism

Age regressors might also use age dreaming as a starting method to regress if its hard!

tips for regressors with periods!

keep your socks on, little one!

our feet are our temperature regulators! if your feet are warm, your body will be much warmer <3 being warm relaxes our muscles and promotes blood flow to lessen any pain!

try to sleep in a better position!

clutch a stuffie to your chest and sleep in the fetal position to reduce pressure on your back! or you can try to loaf like a kitty cat with a pillow under your chest and stomach!

drink warm beverages!

warm water is always a go-to, but there are yummier options too!

you can try ginger/chamomile/raspberry leaf tea (add honey to sweeten) if you like, or some warm angel milk <3 you can add a little bit of tumeric to your angel milk with a dash of cinnamon and the tiniest bit of black pepper to activate it (no, you can't taste the pepper! trust me!)

oh, and this is the perfect time to drink some hot chocolate as well! (try out dark chocolate if it isn't too bitter for you!)

please eat your fruits and veggies!

carrots, oranges, apples, mangoes, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, beans, peas, and lentils are some good options to incorporate into your diet! try making a yummy smoothie or adding a new veggie to your dinners <3

use a heating pad (be careful)!

you can use an electric one if you have one, but here are some more afforadable options:

- use a hot water bottle or thermos

- make a small pouch out of fabric and make sure the ends are fully glued/sewn shut! fill it with uncooked rice and secure the last opening. warm it up in the microwave for about a minute and boom! a reusuable heating pad <3

- dampen a washcloth and put it in a plastic bag. warm it in the microwave for thirty seconds and use it on top of a blanket or your shirt if it's thick enough!

- (last resort option) my laptop gets really hot when i play the sims because i have sooo many mods hehe, but i just make sure there's a barrier between my skin and the laptop and it works as a heating pad! plus, i get to play my games comfortably

overnight pads and period diapers!

i know many people dislike overnight pads because of how bulky they are, but they are a good alternative if you don't have access to or dislike diapers! they are mostly mess free and you don't have to get up often in the middle of the night! they are also really comforting if you like a little bit of padding when regressed.

period diapers are always a good option! they can be worn under flowy skirts and dresses and aren't as noticeable as other types of diapers! they are really comfy too!

warm baths!

bring in your favorite toys, your bubbliest soaps, and your favorite tunes! just make sure your bathwater isn't too hot, okay? i recommend adding a little bit of coconut oil into the water to make your skin super soft!

if you are experiencing dry skin or have eczema, try an oat bath! you can use a food processor to ground up oats so they dissolve in the water, or you can pack some oats into a clean sock/tights, tie off the end, and let it soak in the water!

Nesting

if you ever feel stressed or need a cozy place i recommend nesting!

Nesting is a process in which you gather all the things you might need for an extended period of time and put it all in one place. It's about creating a safe, comfortable, and self-contained environment that minimizes the need to break immersion. some types of items that could be good for nesting:

☁️ Your phone/iPad/ laptop/tv remote etc in order to keep yourself entertained with shows

♡ your preferred game console/ controller with the whichever game you wish to play in the console ahead of time

☁️ headphones for those who have sensory issues or just if you like to use them

♡ blankets/pillows/stuffies for extra comfort and cushion!

☁️ coloring books/sketchbook/journal in case you want to be creative

♡ Crayons/markers/colored pencils to use with the things above :)

☁️ Teethers/pacis/bottles and other gear if you use them that way theyre close

♡ Chargers!! theyre soooo important!!! make sure that you have chargers or power banks to keep everything charged up

you can put whatever you like in your nest but these are my recommendations/what i tend to put in mine

@mama-angel-dust asked me to make another nursery for Cordelia, but requested that her and Angel be in the same room!

Here we go!!

This bed that attaches to Angel's bed, (Above that bed would also be Nuggets bed.)

These sheets ⏫️ and this blanket ⏫️

And I think she'd love these sea creature blanket things 💖

Pillows!!!

I think both her and Angel would love these curtains. Keeps a small light in the room that they'd both enjoy!

This dresser/changing table with her otter mobile over it.

And this isn't really room related, but this high chair and bouncer for when she's just hanging out in the kitchen/lobby at the hotel.
