Do you know any helpful tips for stop having nightmares everyday?

[IntradouchingMyshelf]

I don't have any kind of stress that could be causing me to have bad dreams every night, but I still do.

I have tried exercising before going to bed, thinking positive thoughts. But I still wake up tired and upset because of the dreams I have.

Do the dreams have anything in common? Maybe you've had some trauma in the past that is still silently playing in your mind, even through you may not realize...
Or are their any events that could one or another way be potentially worrying to you, even though they don't make you feel stressed during the day?
Hope you manage to find the cause, that's not a nice situation :D

Thank you, I will ☺️

For me stress has seemed to be related to bad dreams. I bet if you watch a lot of violent or zombie movies that could be in your conscious and result in bad dreams. Even if you watch movies where someone is trying to destroy the world I bet that would affect some people.

I've actually studied this before. I forgot to say that people in lower socioeconomic backgrounds tend to wake up more (probably due to stress and paranoia). Minority groups tend to have those issues worse overall when adjusted for lots of variables, but poor whites tend to sleep even worse while poor (I found interesting).

Anecdotally I've done work with peoples sleep and have noticed people with more frantic or less relaxed personalities tend to jump in a startled or fearful way when woken versus the generally calm people. I can almost predict it.

No I've been having nightmares all my life... I just live with it.

[IntradouchingMyshelf]

I never woke up screaming before, that's not good. I hope you have someone close to you, you can talk to about that.

don't sleep

A perfect example of the toxicity that somehow found its way on this site.

Does this really happen to you?

[IntradouchingMyshelf]

The dreams? Nope.

[KingHippoRules]

But you just said it did

[IntradouchingMyshelf]

No, I didn't say that. I do have bad dreams every night, but what I dream about is not the same as something related to my life.

[KingHippoRules]

That sucks that you have those dreams
