I am a sufferer of nightmares. Sure,
this doesn't seem like a biggie -- who
doesn't? But I suffer from them about 5
out of the 7 nights in a week, and I have
been for I would say over 8 years.
Sometimes they are gruesome; filled with
blood and gore, sometimes I can't move and
am being chased with knives and weapons;
sometimes I wake up and can still see the
bloodied hollowed eyes of these "death"
people that try and harm me.
Sometimes they don't affect me at all and
I just wake up and go on with my day.
I have read a theory that nightmares are
the body's way of creating survival
methods.. Am I lacking some sort of
survival need?
I'm at a loss of what to do. My
boyfriend keeps telling me to see a
doctor.. But what is a doctor going to
do? Tell me to pick apart my daily life?
I could drink a glass of water and
probably have a nightmare! Does anyone
else suffer from them severely?
Suggestions? Stories?
