Gabriel,
I am very sorry that you have been traumatized by nightmares. I too have suffered from them as well . It truly sucks to have sleep robbed from you because of these horrible dreams. But let me tell you God does not hate you , it is not in his nature to hate anyone because God is love .
I am not sure what is the source of your repeated nightmares . For me, I began having nightmares during therapy for sexual abuse and rapes that I had suffered in my past. It was awefull , they were so real . I could feel the abuser , see them ,even smell the smells from those terrible events in my life .
They got better for me by practicing 2 things .First I would relax through breathing and reading a passage from the bible before I went to bed . This helped alot .
Second , I had to begin the process of forgiving all of them .
I know that is a heavy one . I have to tell you though , it was the only way to "unchain" me from these people who where haunting my life . I couldnt ecscape them even in my sleep
until I let go of their obligation to me for all they wrongs they commited against me and gave it to God to handle.I prayed long and hard about this(weeks) until one day in prayer not a verse but a specific page came to my mind , and at the very top of page 345 in my bible it said this . "Vengeance is mine and retribution"
So I recieved an answer to my prayer , but it definatly was not instant . I had to line up with Gods will and his will was for me to forgive so I could have peace .
I hope that this will help you in your struggle. If you ever want to leave me a message I would be happy to talk to you.( I am not even sure I know how all that messaging stuff works on here, but I will figure it out .)
Take care ,
Sher
