"Nightmares may be a response to real life trauma and situations. These type of nightmares fall under a special category called Post-traumatic Stress Nightmare (PSN). Nightmares may also occur because we have ignored or refused to accept a particular life situation. Research shows that most people who have regular nightmares have had a family history of psychiatric problems, bad drug experiences, people who have contemplated suicide, and/or rocky relationships. Nightmares are an indication of a fear that needs to be acknowledged and confronted. It is a way for our subconscious make up to take notice. "Pay attention!""


I used to get nightmares when I was younger... people chasing me and whatnot. Since I've matured, my bad dreams arenā??t as common, but when I do have them, most of the time the bad dreams seem to refer to real life situationsā?¦ being rejected by former girlfriends, loosing lifelong friends, forgetting crucial pieces of information in times of need, not being able to complete a task, the occasional fight/being in a time of war, trying to help old friends but being unable to provide support. Stuff of that nature. Reoccuring bad dreams can make it difficult to sleep, and good sleep is the most important thing for a healthy life. The most important thing is trying to decipher why they are happening and what can you do to confront them. I hope things get better for you Rebgirl. Good Luck.
