Hi, I'm new to this, but I joined bc I need advice? Or help with an explanation? Not sure which or both, but for several months now I've been experiencing incredibly violent nightmares and night terrors, I'm not a violent person, never have been, in fact am very passive and easygoing. But in these dreams I'm never the one being violent, it's happening around me, say I have a family in my dream and they're all brutally murdered, blood and gore everywhere. A lot of times these dreams involve children and it's horribly disturbing to me. Just last night I dreamed I was in a house and in an alleyway outside I could hear a man angrily yelling and loud banging sounds and a child screaming and I was running trying to close the shades on the windows trying to protect my own child who was in his bed asleep in the dream. Night before it was simply I was in a warehouse and there were corpses and blood everywhere and I was trying to get them all and burn them and the smell was horrible. Please I feel like it's getting worse and more frequent and I already have insomnia but when I do sleep this is happening. I also have a history of dealing with sleep paralysis and it's terrifying as well. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Even my therapist doesn't know what to say.
