    Nightmares are usually the cause of outbursts during sleep, which are in turn usually the result of stress or anxiety one may be feeling.

    Perhaps seeing a psychiatrist can help you. They can talk to you about anything you feel may be bothering you, and prescribe medication that may help you.
