CareBear, the only way i know how to deal with nightmares is to turn the light on, get up and have a cup of tea. I usually pray and ask God to take away the nightmares. I say out loud, "I refuse to accept or believe these dreams and nightmares." Then i go back to bed. I find positive affirmation said out loud confirms to myself that i don't have to believe some bad thoughts that are invading my subconciousness. I also before i go to bed try not to eat something, cause digesting food can give you weird dreams. I hope this helps. Everyone just has to tell the dreams out loud to go away and leave you alone never to return. It helps, i know it sounds funny but it does work. blessings
