How often do you have nightmares? How do you deal with them? Are they always the same or different each time?
Do you wake yourself up by crying out? Do you go back to sleep? Is there something that you think may trigger your nightmares?
I'm not just talking about bad dreams, I'm talking about nightmares where you are in fear for your life.

Well, I have to admit that, recently, I haven't had any nightmares, fortunately.
How do you deal with them?
When I wake up from a scary nightmare, I always try firstly to calm myself down.
And, then, I ALWAYS drink some cold water, because, if you go to sleep immediately, you will maybe CONTINUE the nightmare you were just dreaming.
Are they always the same or different each time?
Different each time. But there's one nightmare I dreamed twice in my life.
Once when I was 6 and other time when I was 11, I remember exactly! Some dreams may repeat from time to time.

Not often. Usu diff each time. I deal with them by calming myself upon waking, and getting a glass of water to focus on, and rehydrate. Then I try to release it throughout the day, and remind myself that stressors in my waking life are leading me to have these nightmares, and I try to remove the stressors, and a good workout also. Good luck.
