I've been having nightmares for awhile now and I just recently had a lucid nightmare. In my old normal nightmares my mind would repeat the bad stuff happening but now it's like I know I'm dreaming but I can't wake up. In my dream I was watching my dog get hit by a car and his head got stuck and popped off and the worse part was it repeated and that's all I kept seeing. I'm pretty sure my crying woke me up. But it felt real like I was there. Watching it from a few inches away. I haven't been able to sleep well lately. I'm constantly tired all the time. I would really like to have advice on how to not have this happen anymore.
