Venting Do you often get nightmares?

[struggles_inc]

I often have nightmares about suicide and/or survival. Just woke up from one.

When I go to sleep, there is 70% chance my dream will be about war or some kind of apocalypse, and I will either try to survive and save someone, in which case I usually die in this dreams, or I kill myself out of desperation.

Every time I wake up tired as fuck because of these nightmares. I bet you guys often have nightmares, too. What are those about? Does anyone have a way to get rid of them?

Every night. Last night I was in the city, Large parts were a ghost town I was wondering about, I took the elevator down to the subway, and it crushed me alive like that Apple iPad advert.

I don't know any way to get rid of them unfortunately.

oh god yes i do, yours don't sound too dissimilar to mine. mine are largely about social rejection and execution and apocalypse and sometimes about people i no longer want to talk to. ive had one pleasant dream recently but the rest have been nightmares, and i dream much more often than i used to so its very unsettling to me

this is probably not good advice but i am also very forgetful, and i often end up forgetting them after i wake up. but god some of them are bad enough to stick around for much much longer

Ohhh yes, ghost towns, had a couple of those dreams myself. They suck.

Some of these dreams are so stressful that they feel kinda traumatic? Like you've just been through a very real and very difficult situation.
