Welcome DarthLucidity! Hope you enjoy DV.
Whenever I was a kid, I used to have nightmares sometimes. About 2 or 3 every week, but I started telling myself before I went to sleep "I'll have good dreams tonight!" and I'd describe to myself what I would dream about that night, and I had far less nightmares after I started that, and since I learned about LD I've had barely any. Hopefully, it'll be the same for you!
