My Girlfriend Has Never Had a Good Dream.

So my girlfriend is almost 18 years old and she has been through some horrible things in her life, her parents and older brother used to beat her and then she ran away and all this stuff and finally ended up in foster care about 9 months ago. I have been with her for just over 2 months now and she has a bad dream every night of her life as long as she can remember. Sometimes she says they start out good, but then they go bad.

for example,
She had a dream that I spent the night with her and she woke up along with her older foster sister and answered the door and a group of like 4 guys came in and killed her older foster sister then she ran to me to try to wake me up but I wouldn't wake up and one of the guys that broke in said "Your going to have blood on your lips tonight" and then hit me with the bat 3 times, and then she said she ended up kissing me after he killed me then she got extremely pissed and shot fire out of her hands and knocked him out of her bedroom window. Then I woke up that same day she had that dream with a little blood on my hands but I looked all over and can't account where it came from because there is none on my blanket or pillow or bed... Just my hands...

I don't know what it is but call me crazy there is something different about my girlfriend when it comes to seeing events in her dreams... She had a dream about her older blood sister (before my girlfriend got put in foster care) getting into a car accident, then a couple weeks later it happened, and her sister died, but she said that everything was exactly how it was in her dream.

Then just last night we were in the backseat of my car parked in a little road that ends back in the woods and she looked out the window and she got a REALLY bad feeling and deja vu when she looked at the Chrysler symbol on my window. The way she was acting when she got that bad feeling was almost like she wasn't herself when I looked into her eyes. Then she told me that she had a dream the day before but couldn't really remember any of it (which is weird for her) and then when she got that bad feeling she thinks its from that dream but she can't place it, but she saw me holding her in my arms with blood everywhere and I was repeating "I'm sorry".

I also had a dream like 2 days ago that I couldn't remember but I know I had a dream because I woke up because I remember yelling something at night and woke up when I punched the wall next to my bed and ever since then every time I drive by a road that goes across I look and check the passenger side to make sure there are no cars coming towards her side, I started doing that for no reason after I had my dream I couldn't remember.

I don't know what to think about all this I just wanted some opinions, I am scared something is going to happen to her.

Edit: Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I was just looking around and it looks like I did...

All I can suggest is that you encourage her to practice lucid dreaming. At the very least, she'll be able to minimize the severity/number of nightmares she has.

I find it strange that you actually found blood on your hands. I don't believe that she could cause that to happen from her just having a violent dream. So, something must have happened for you to get blood on your hands. I might be a little worried about that. Dreams don't tell the future, because they're all in your mind. That would mean that you're telling the future and nobody has the power to do that. It's just coincidence. I had a dream a year ago that my girlfriend would be pregnant and she turned out pregnant. Only a coincidence can explain this. It could even be explained by the fact that I knew we had unprotected, drunk sex.

Tell her to think of all the dreams she has had that haven't come true.

Yeah, I would encourage her to try and maybe practice lucid dreaming. Or just anything that helps her to realise that they're just dreams, and can't harm her. Of course the best thing you can do is just try to be there for her and assure her that all that matters is what's currently happening and that it's all just in the past. Unfortunately I can't really give any other advice, but I hope she feels better.

Alright thanks guys, I'll have her practice that, and that was the part that scared me too because I was like "Wtf?" when I woke up and looked at my hands then she told me about the dream and I was like... holy shit.
But I took her to an avenged sevenfold concert last night then she passed out in my arms after we got home and she said that last night was the first time in 3 years that she didn't have any dreams. So maybe being next to me while she sleeps helps her?

Either way I still suggest to her that she practices lucid dreaming
