Nightmares and night terrors happen because you need to be woken for some reason. It maybe that you're allergic to some food, drink or medicine you eat, drink or take.
Psychological upsets or PTSD could be another cause of your bad dreams. The subconscious mind creates the dreams to solve a problem during sleep. So you or your doctor need to find the problem that causes the nightmares.
Dreams- be they ever so strange- have a structure. Very often the subconscious indicates the cause of the dream. If you care to post one or two of your nightmares it may give a clue to thecause.
I have nightmares about people chasing me, I have post apocalyptic dreams I have dreams about giant spiders and people dying. Last night I heard my mom talking and I'm not sure If I was in a R.E.M. Sleep but I saw her as an intruder and started screaming loudly. My mom got really scared because I didn't say anything I just started screaming.

My doctor refuses to even discuss my sleep problems. He would not even acknowledge the fact that I fell down the stairs and he refuses to do a sleep study. It's really odd. I saw him on Monday.
