News of Nightmare Disorder Forum

I've been having nightmares every single night for last 10 years.
I get tortured, I get killed, I get raped, I get betrayed by most trusted friends and family.

I don't understand why does this happen to me, because I have a nice - great life,
even though I suffered in the past. My partner and I think it may be PTSD - I have enough traumatic experiences - but I don't know (is there ...

I have had terrible nightmares since age 5 and into adulthood, now at age 24. My first at age 5 was my cousin being murdered in my sister’s bedroom while I watched, terrified, from the closet. I had at least 2 a week for at least a decade and now slight less often, all of them featured very realistic death, murder, blood, violence. They never feature anything that might hint inside the dream that they ...

For the past 2 or 3 weeks, I've occasionally had really extensive nightmares about different things. More regularly, I've also woken up to varying hallucinations of figures and shapes - often flowers of some sort. A few nights ago, one of the hallucinations (a sort of sheet made from stars) was tangible. All of this has started really suddenly and, after my most recent episode, I'm really freaked out and concerned.

Good.. night?

It's 4 in the morning and I just woke up from another nightmare.
I'll be honest. I don't know if I have nightmare disorder. But I haven't slept in the past 4 days without having nightmares. It's killing me. I live on 2h of sleep a day and when I take a nap, I get another nightmare.

I'm scared to fall asleep. Terrified.

The worst thing is. All my nightmares physically hurt. I ...

Sometimes I feel suicidal when I wake from a nightmare that reminds me of my most painful memories. This has not happened in a long time and I am in no danger right now, therefore, do not worry about me but I am curious if any of you have ever had a nightmare that was so awful that you woke suicidal.

Hi all,

I have had sleep paralysis and night terrors since I was a young child. I have a few mental health disorders but have recently begun questioning if I suffer from narcolepsy. When I go to sleep, I fall asleep very quickly and go into REM sleep very quickly (within 10minutes or less). Generally I do not get much REM sleep, however, according to my sleep app - ranges from 3 to 13% each ...

HELP ME, IF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF A DISORDER THAT MATCHES THE FOLLOWING, LET ME KNOW.

Since I was 13, (5 years ago) I have experienced a sleep disorder unlike anything I'd ever heard of. I've participated in sleep studies, seen countless doctors and therapists, but alas, no one seems to know what it is or how it works. Basically, I've had insomnia all my life, and like anyone would I experience sleep deprivation ...

Sooooo this has been going on for awhile but tonight it just got worst. This happens usually a couple times a week and mostly during quick naps. But I’ll just talk about tonight. I couldn’t sleep and finally fell asleep around 12:45am after that I had four dreams and they were all super vivid but I only remembered the last three. The first one I was outside my home (I live on a college campus) ...

Whenever I have a high fever, I will occasionally wake up with a cold sweat in the middle of the night. When I wake up, I am scared out of my mind. I keep repeating "why me" and "it's all my fault". After the terror is over, I remember every last detail. During the terrors, I feel as if the world is ending and it's all my fault. Something I did has caused the end ...

I’ve had lots of issues with my mental health for a long time so i think my issues with sleeping might be closely linked. I have alot of paranoia, I’ve tried a lot of drugs in the past which this is probably a result of. That was a long time ago, I haven’t taken any drugs since I was probably 19, I’m 25 now. But My mind is so messed up, I was abused a ...
