Thats awful. Seems like you have unfinished emotional business while you're asleep, you can finish it while you're awake. Set up a ritual before you go to bed. Things that you can do: 1) Talk about the nightmare with someone. Give it a voice. Describe it fully, scene by scene, what happened and how you felt. 2) Write it out. Write out the whole scenario, including what happens when you wake up, if you sleepwalk, etc. 3) Imagine a more pleasant ending. It sounds simple, but getting every neurological loop involved can help finish the business. If those rituals don't lessen the nightmares, take a closer look at your internal dialogue. What you tell yourself can have a dramatic influence on your subconscious. Goodluck, hope you get a nightmare free night soon!

i guess you could when you realize that you are dreaming you can actually control what happens and this means you can also make your self wake up. but many times in nightmares you wake up when something horible is going to happen to you because you dont know what it feels like and your mind cant create the scene without something to base it off of.
thats why if you dream that you are falling you never hit the ground(unless you have had a bad fall before)

Waking from a nightmare is an involuntary phenomenia that we have left over from the very first days of man walking the earth. Then the monsters were real though. It is probably a part of our repitilian brain.

I always wake myself up as soon as i realise i am dreaming, its annoying it usually happens with good dreams which is why i notice i am dreaming and miss the best bit, i can sometimes fall straight back to sleep and continue it though.

Yes. I'm usually not sure how much of it is a nightmare or reality (cause I often feel a tug a me feet..or pull at my arms), but I can always claw the bed and open my eyes.

I don't think it's possible, you can't control your nightmares.
