How to control these nightmares.(When waking in the night)

[Trying2Remember]

hey everyone! School is back in and I haven't had much time to post in forums about my problems, but I feel like I need help from you guys ASAP. Recently, as of last night, and before. I will wake up in the middle of the night usually from the dream, or will use the restroom and get back into bed. Last night I woke up from a nightmare. I can't remember it all, but I remember the emotion, fear. I did however manage to have another one the same night. When awaking in the middle of the night I usually think irrationally about how something could be watching me, or the feeling of re-entering a nightmare. I try to control this but it's quite hard honestly, anyway. I mentioned somewhere on the forum how about I feel very weird when "entering a dream." I guess tingly.. and just overall "weird feeling" not necessarily bad, but just how I can tell I'am about to dream. I get this feeling ALL THE TIME, but I usually back out from the fear of creating a nightmare because I can't control my thoughts of being scared.. My room is VERY DARK. I have full size blanket covering my window. You wouldn't be able to tell if it was day or night without moving it. I drempt that at the end of my bed where my feet hang, there was a large black shadow. Upon looking at this phantom, I could feel my physical body's heart racing. Sometimes I fear of going to sleep. I usually wake up everyone night because I drink only water which causes me to have to use the bathroom frequently. I need help, someone please. Dread Guides come fourth! <3 Edit: When I would awake from these dreams and go back to sleep, I'd somehow end up with the same reforming dream.. and feelings.
