I'm in university and i only have nightmares now and again but for the past 2 weeks i've been getting them every couple of nights. Some, i can't remember and my boyfriend tells me i've been talking in my sleep and saying creepy and weird things, and sometimes sitting bolt upright in bed staring at the door. Now, the ones i do remember are terrible. I had one last night that made me start crying when i woke up because i thought it was real. It was so realistic as just before the end of the dream i lay down to go to sleep but the way i know it was a dream was because i lay down to sleep in the nightmare in my house and woke in my uni accommodation. when i woke properly. i nearly had a panic attack and even though i know it was a nightmare i'm really paranoid now and i can't shift this upset mood. This only usually happens when i'm really tired and on the weekend that's just past, i kept faling asleep without realisng it and i was always tired which has never happened to me as far as i can remember. I'v had 12 hours sleep last night but i still feel terrible and tired. :/. I wondering if anyone else has terrible nightmares that make their anxiety worse and makes their day hard to get through because of the night before?
