I've had horrid dreams for as long as I can remember. Yes, they sometimes still upset me, wake up in a cold sweat, crying, screaming, BUT, it is my norm. Idk any better, I have a bad/weird/disturbing dream most nights, most of which I've learned to laugh at.

ETA: I'm a lucid dreamer, so when my dream becomes too much for me to bear, I eliminate the terror from the dream, if I don't have enough time, I will myself to wake up. Eg, just before I die.
