Scarlett O'Hara

I have a thread about dreams but I'm on my phone and think it can be separate unless someone is desperately bothered by it.

Do you get nightmares? How often? Describe them if you're comfortable.

I went two years with constant sweat soaking terror. I had one last night that I went to a college dance that I organised and a group of people started bullying me, following me home while my parents were there who threatend them to stop. In the same night I had a nightmare that dad was learning to fly a small plane (one very like the plane in the English Patient). He crashed it and survived but he was paralyzed from the waist down and had to be pushed around in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. I bawled my eyes out to mom when she told me the news, dad is the kind of outdoor person who loves hiking, botanical gardens and gardening so the thought of dad being miserable made me so sad.

I've had ones way worse than that (like losing loved ones, one of which I predicted a month before my granddad died unexpectedly).

Do you notice a trend in them? Is there something that triggers them? Have you woken up from literally crying during sleeping? I've bolted up in bed after nightmare before. Do you think medications cause them?
