I know this is an older post, but I wanted to comment that i'm experiencing the nightmare thing (though strangely enough, they just make me uncomfortable, and are unrelated to the trauma we are working on)... my t says it's normal and a good sign. It's all throwing me off. I've done emdr before, and it was really noticeably effective almost right away, but t says that was because the target we were working on was smaller in scope. She says this rounf will be tougher because it's more involved... :shrugz:
I hope it ends up working again.
