Nightmares and waking up crying

User Profile
Lately I've been having strange nightmares. I've been waking up crying in the morning. I'm afraid to sleep now because I know the nightmares come along with it. The nightmares have been happening for almost 2 weeks now. I feel like I'm going insane!! I have a lot on my plate and the nightmare are scaring the crap out of me!! What's causing the nightmares?? Is there something wrong with me??

theres nothing wrong with you
no theres nothing wrong with you babe. is it a recurring nightmare? or are they different each time? sometimes when you dream it means your subconscious is trying to tell you something. or maybe it is just the stress. hope i helped sleep

Well usually when it's about suicide and death it means you're trying to move on or putting something in your past or your brain is trying to tell you to move on. Also can be caused my stress. Maybe there's someone in your life that is stressing you out and your brain is trying to tell you to cut that person out of your life. Just some ideas I have. I used to have night terrors when I was younger from going back and forth between parents. So don't worry once you're back to your original state of mind I'm sure the nightmares will stop.

I have been having nightmares over the past 2 weeks, everynight. My husband is waking me up because im either crying in my sleep or screaming in my sleep. He thinks im awake but quickly realizes im sleeping and dreaming. In my dreams, which have been different everytime, one was about my x husband, and my kids were much younger, and I felt like he was keeping me prisoner, the other dreams were of my step son dying in a car accident, and crying for my husband, my other dreams are of my daughter getting hurt VERY BADLY but I cannot remember why and what happened. We discussed this morning that this has turned into EVERY night. Im worried, and my husband says its maybe just stress. I am in college and i dont feel im stresing over that, actually enjoying every minute of it, im going through the normal family issues that every family has that i havent delt with before, im just wondering why now?
