I am on my phone, so can someone add the trigger icon for this? I can place the trigger things around text but not for the site. Thank you. Also, warning here there will be triggered stuff.

Anyways, today was another scary thought about me worried about developing PTSD. I posted my fear of this in the anxiety section, but I feel this might be better here.

So here is what happened:

Possible trigger:

So my dream (nightmare) was of my dad, siblings, and I driving to go drop my siblings and I at my mom's house. As we were driving, someone shot my dad in the head. Blood was everywhere. I couldn't have time to process that information because I needed to her my siblings and I to safety. I had to sit on top of my dad's dead body and drive to the side of the road. Suddenly a car pulled up beside us. The person was wearing a mask, but they were going to shoot me so I got out of the car and got the gun out of his hands using my martial arts knowledge (took karate for 3 years). I put him in several locks (martial arts locks) that made it break hid right arm and hand and pinned him down. I told my siblings to call the cops and they did. But then I was charged with assault because I injured him when he didn't injure me first. This is the law in Canada so listen. I was breaking down, couldn't do anything because the slightest noise scared me and reminded me of the bullet noises of my dad's death.

It was terrible. I didn't jolt awake but I was really scared because I had this nightmare as my dad, siblings, and I were in the car. I thought this might actually happen. Of course it didn't, but.

Are these things normal for people who have never even witnessed stuff like this? I haven't had something positive in my sleep for so long I don't know how it feels again. What should I do? Do you guys have similar issues? Thanks.
