Everytime I dream and I'm able to remember it when wake I find my mental state deeply affected by it...because these dreams suck so much they have the possibility of ruining my whole day and possibly relationships.
I usually dream about family and friends that suddenly hate me/shame me/torture me/lock me up/or kill me.
Almost all my dreams I am running away from someone/something. There's usually an element that isn't explained but it basically "everyone thinks I did this bad thing and wont listen to me."
They will beat me or crowd me, sucking away my ability to breathe. Ive been blinded, Ive had my teeth pulled out, Ive been strapped down for what felt like days.
Another big element in my dreams is being locked away forever without cause nor explanation and being killed/murdered. (I've never woke up after ive been killed like it's portrayed in media)
I usually wake up a lot in the night to find im having a panic attack. Sometimes I can go back to sleep easily. Sometimes i'll keep waking up. I usually fall back into the same nightmare if I fall right back asleep so sometimes I just get up and start the day, even if it's 3AM.
Sometimes the dreams are so realistic that I find myself hating the real person I had a dream about.
about 7 years ago I had night terrors from PTSD. My doctor prescribed a medication called Prazosin for my nightmares. I thought it may have been helping but after a few years I stopped taking it and found I had NO nightmares at all and when I started taking it the nightmares would return..
I just wanted to know if anyone else has frequent nightmares and if so what are some recurring elements, how does it affect you, ect..
