Why do I have so many nightmares?

Hello, 1Anonymous6

That probably isn't normal, however not deathly serious either. It must've been around a month of nightmares if you can make an average per week and that is a little strange, but your best bet is to talk to a doctor or, because no one on this website actually goes to a doctor even if advised (I'm sorry, that sounds mean, doesnt it?) you could try doing things yourself to stop them.

1. Thing happy thoughts.

If you're going to think about what your next nightmare will be about, then your brain will be thinking about nightmares as you go to sleep so you will have one. I used to have nightmares whenever "The tooth fairy" came (partly because I placebo-ed myself into it, but that's a different story) so I used to not think about nightmares and I wouldn't get them

2. Use mystical powers

People sometimes sprinkle salt around their beds to protec themselves against evil spirits or dreams so you could try that. There are other techniques like throwing salt over your shoulder to tell the devil to go away and drinking holy water, however you probably don't have any.

3. Try other dream techniques

You could try opening your real eyes if you are scared of whatever may be happening to you at the time. I am not sure if forcing your eyes to open while asleep is hard for people but it could be a possibility. I could also breathe through my real nose to breath underwater in a dream and that always woke me up because I could feel myself breathing.

4. Speak to someone about it your parent/guardian won't be mad at you for having bad dreams so you could try talking to them. They want what is best for you, so what could they do wrong?

I hope this helps and however lighthearted I made this answer look, please understand that I know that nightmares, or night terrors as you seem to have, are a truly traumatising experience.
