Please, tell me about any trouble you've had with nightmares and how you deal with it. I can't stand waking up in a cold sweat.

If i have a terrible nightmare, there is no going back to sleep. i have to find something else to do to take my mind from it. When my head is free from all thoughts of the nightmare, i caan usually get back to sleep without any problems.

I haven't had nightmares in a long time used to had it when I was a kid.Do you always have it.Because even when I used to have these nightmares I never had it everyday.Are you worried about something in your life that can be the case.Have a nice day and hope you get a good sleep from now onwards.:)

I always take a glass of milk before sleeping. Milk contains some chemicals that help to calm us down. I haven't got any nightmares in a very long time. Happy Mylotting!!!

Hi there umklassg, I don't know how terrible your dreams were.. But in my case, my definition of terrible is waking up crying.. I hate dreams that make me cry. Because most often it concerns my loved ones and I don't like it.. There are also times that I dream of my teeth loosening from it's roots and I am afraid of those kind of dreams.. Old folks say dreaming that kind of thing means a bad thing might happen with the people around me.. But I know how to contradict it. When I wake up, I bite into my pillow and say " hope it'll hit a tree " which means, hoping it will hit a tree instead of a person.. talking about the 'bad thing' that is. I don't know really how to deal with terrible dreams, but definitely prayer helps.. Pray before sleeping so that you'll have peaceful sleep..
