Is there any reason why someone may have never had a good dream, and persistently has had nightmares every night (as opposed to an abscence of dreaming) for as long as they can remember? I always dream, even if only taking a nap, and that dream is always a nightmare - often from a set of several re-occuring nightmares, though sometimes something novel. Most people I know have a mix of good and bad dreams, ...

Hey guys, ive had insomnia for about two years (i think, i cant remember). Either way, i have a few questions:
1) I wake up 1-7 times a night, can a crappy pillow cause this? I notice i can relax easy on other peoples comfy couches or beds, but never mine. (I dont think that would fix it, but i just want some opinion)

2) Ive had lots of health issues, and from that stemmed ...

I don't dream normally any longer, only nightmares. They're not really frightening any longer, but I always feel bad about them. I don't remember ever having a normal dream. So, my question is: is there anything I can do?

Can you make yourself not dream? Or affect what you dream about? When I was younger, I could control my dreams, or at least what I did in them, but they were still nightmares.

Hey guys and gals, new poster here just found this.

Lil history...

May 21st I started not sleeping. I graduated college May 19th and don't have a job because I have a speech impidiment I wanted to fix before going into the workforce.

the night before last i had horrific nightmares where i was paralysed and screaming at my parents but no sound was coming out... and woke several times throughout the night.

the next day, yesterday, i burst into tears at uni because i wasn't prepared for the lesson.

i tried to shake it off all day, but just couldn't.

then night came... i decided to cope with it ...

i wasnt surewhich forum this went under.
anyway. this is horrible. does anyone else here get it? ive heard that1/4 of people will experience it once in their lives... its been really bad this week. in the past is only happened maybe a couple of times a year, for a few years. last night, it happened repeatedly, and far worse than before. i found myself trapped as usual, paralysed, unable to move. for a short ...

Hi, new here.

I find it really difficult to sleep unless I am exhausted or it's very (4am or whatever). When I go to bed, even if I am quite tired, it takes over half an hour to get to sleep. I often read in bed, it seems to help me doze off.

Thankfully, once I am asleep a stampede wouldn't wake me - though I do sometimes wake up for no apparent reason at ...
