Dealing with nightmares
Nightmares can be very exhausting, especially if they last for longer period of time. I’d like to give you a good example of what will work 100% for you, but I’m still searching for one myself.
One thing that helped me though, is Cannabis, but it doesn’t work when you stop using it. Cannabidiol also helps a little, but not as great, at least for me. It might work great for you.
There are some non pharmacological techniques and tools that can be used too. I hope this helps a little.
How are you dealing with nightmares, what helped you?

Fortunately, these days I don’t often get nightmares so much as bad dreams, although I do periodically wake myself up screaming! My main problem is getting to sleep in the first place! Thanks for the great advice. Be well!

Nor nightmares nor insomnia aren’t nice.
You’re welcome. Sending some good vibes to your side too. 🙂

You periodically wake up screaming! I do occasionally, and at one time it was periodically. It’s not just me, then!
I found antidepressants crucial for me with sleep, for some reason.

For PTSD, cannabis helped me survive, and that was 40 years ago lol…It was illegal then, but I’m not sure I would have made it thru life without it. Used from about 14 to 24. I’m also sure it is much more potent today than it was back in the 70’s.

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that wordpress has blocked my ability to like posts forever and they sometimes delete my comments. They have given me no proper reason except that I am not a human being, just a spam bot. So, to appreciate your posts as I cannot like anymore sadly, censorship is real, I will visit from time to time and comment on your posts. Best wishes, take care.

I know about WordPress, thanks for showing up in a comment 🙂 . Best wishes to you too.

You just reminded me, I had an absolutely epic dream last night! It was a zombie apocalypse, but not what I’d call a nightmare, haha, strangely enough. It’s not personal enough to be a nightmare 😅. But it was maybe the longest dream I ever remembered having.

That’s cool. Sounds like a movie from another perspective 😀

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. Nightmares usually occur during a particular time for me each year and it is awful.
