Hello,

I come around to this forum about once a year; as I enter another nightmare insanity.
Last year was probably worse, but it's just starting again. I had totally forgotten about this.

It starts off with an "innocent" nightmare... Then, the next day, it was two... Then I take a nap and have the most insane nightmare of the year (I'll spare you the details, but I couldn't make that stuff up while awake).
then I have three nightmares. about there, I realize: "oh shit shit shit, I remember: this happened to me last year... and the year before that... Oh noo!"

Now it's averaging 3-4 nightmares (or sometimes just a dream, but completely insane stuff. Really insane stuff.). And it's getting worse and worse. Pretty soon, I'll be waking up in the middle of the night, completely paralyzed with fear.
It's starting to affect my day life, as I feel like I haven't slept at all.

I don't know what to do, and now that I've realized I'm in one of those cycles, I will be going to bed tonight, dreading what's going to happen.. Thinking happy thoughts, trying to induce a nice dream... Doesn't help.
