scary dreams are not fun
I’m so grateful when I don’t have dreams. My weirdest/wackiest nice dreams left me early on.
Yikes! I read one time that reading or watching something peaceful right before bed can help with these types of dreams. But I have no clue experientially. Those would suck!

You’re lucky. And I never ever sleep nowadays (been 2-3 years) without having my iPad on with some comedic/entertaining videos to fall asleep through. If I were left sleeping alone without some sort of entertainment I would stay awake for hours with my anxious thoughts and have even worse nightmares

My dreams used to be nightmarish, too. That was the only kind of dream I would have.
Now that I've been put on antidepressants, my dreams are less heavy. Not saying that you need to be on them, just giving my own experience. I also have had a few sleep paralysis dreams which aren't fun.
I hope you can find a remedy for your nightmares. They definitely aren't fun.
I’ve been wanting some sort of medication since I’m not going to lie I’ve been struggling lately but I’m just going to say I currently don’t trust myself. Maybe some day in the future.

Wow, Peach that is awful..I don't really have too many nightmares but just like Viv I do have sleep paralysis but I'm not sure you can consider those nightmares because from what I have read you're in between sleep and waking up but it can be pretty scary. I haven't had it in a long time but I used to get it quite often and sometimes it made me afraid to fall asleep, so I can just imagine how you feel having such nightmares

maybe as time goes on they'll go away

Edit to add, I used to get this a lot when I lived at home and before computers were a thing and I always felt like something was trying to get me like the devil

but now I've read up a lot about them and it sounds like it can be pretty common for people to have them.
I’m not really educated on sleep paralysis so I googled and read about it. Man it sucks, I’m sorry you and Vivica went through that
I only saw snippets of what it’s like in some movies when I was younger but never really educated myself on it until now, although in the movies it did look awful
Peach like Viv said anytime you want to talk just pm me. If you ever need an ear to tell your scary dreams too and just talk it out we're both around..back when I had the sleep paralysis I never really talked about it because I was younger and didn't know what was going on with me. I just felt like something was after me but there were also times I could see everything that was going on around me but I couldn't wake up. One time I fell asleep on the couch and I saw my dad walk into the living room turn on the tv and he walked over and woke me up because I was asleep where he sat

but there have also been times I could hear people talk around me but I couldn't move..I haven't had this happen in years but now it happens with Viv

it can be pretty darn freaky

anyway girl keep us in mind if you need to talk

ask viv I'm good at talking

One way or another I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you
One way or another I'm gonna win you
I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you
