have you had something traumatic happen to you as a child? it could be suppressed memories coming back to you. then again, it could be JUST nightmares.

You have a classic symptom of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) You haven't dealt with the issue properly and it comes back to haunt you. Here is a website that will explain what it is and what can be done. Also, it is best not to watch the news or violent movies before bed. Fall asleep to soothing music.

Probably not... re-occuring nightmares aren't a good sign to begin with... for the past 10 years... you might have a problem.

I had bad stuff too when I was a kid. Some people say counseling helps but I just blacked them out. Would you like to compare childhoods???

If it is about something you regret I thinkk you should see a physiatristbecause it can turn it to something really serious or haunt you for the rest of your liife, people who have this happen to them usually commit sucide if they cant find the right answer...

There is something needed to be done in ur life. something very important maybe from ur past that need be attended by u. so, try to study the dream & know what the information needs u to do.

You know, they could be repressed memories, but most likely they are representing something that is going on in your present life. Something that you are unhappy with or worried about. Dig deep.

Maybe you had traumatic experiences?
Well, even if you do, it's not normal- you might want to see someone experted in these fields for this.
