I have nightmares just about every night. They're not recurring or brought on by a particular traumatic event in my life. Sometimes, I'm not even in the dream, and it's like I'm watching a movie.
I'm stressed out, but not too much more than any typical college student. I don't eat too unhealthily and I exercise. I'm not on medication and I don't do drugs. I also stay away from scary movies like "The Exorcist." Yet I have these terrible dreams that are so vivid that there's no way I can realize within the dream that it IS a dream and do that whole lucid dream thing. Because I'm woken up by these dreams, I can't get a full night of sleep, and I'm very tired during the day.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of my nightmares? I'm not religious, so praying wouldn't help. I've heard that herbs may work, but what kind of herbs?
It's amazing what disturbing, gruesome, graphic, and violent things my mind can think of in my sleep, and I want it to stop. Can anyone help?
