writes:Hi, over the last 8 months or so, almost every night - and I mean like 5 to 6 nights a week - I have nightmares. They always change every night; it can be of someone trying to kill me one night, to someone breaking into my house the next. I even had a dream of catching my bf cheating on me. Sometimes I will have multiple nightmares in one night. I always wake up feeling so tired, even though I have slept for 7 to 9 hours. Ii'm not on any medications or anything and nothing traumatic has happened in my life over the last 8 months. Does anyone know about nightmares and why people have them? And is it normal to have so many nightmares during the week? Does anyone know how to stop them from occuring so often? I'm just so desprate for answers as I have not had a good night's sleep in months. Reply to this Question

The dreams that I have are extremely disturbing, I have noticed their is blood in almost all of them and someone dies. I am not sure what this means, and no I'm not on any medication although I am starting to think I should be. I dont know how to make them stop.

 Hi,
I have complete sympathy! I have had bad nightmares since I was a child. You wouldn't happen to be a migraine sufferer would you Migraine sufferers tend to have the most realistic dreams and also tend to dream in full technicolour!
I listen to Enya before I go to sleep it really helps. If you can find the music that helps you relax and listen to it before bed it may help.

I had nightmares for 2 months straight i made my own method of waken up and not being scared. when i was having the nightmare I would look for something that would catch my eye in the real world and just concentrate on that in the dream and poof id wake up.
