It is common with PTSD to have recurring nightmares regarding traumatic events that have happened to you. During the trauma often times the trauma does not get processed properly and gets stuck at a certain point. Dreaming helps to file away memories in the right place in the brain but traumatic memories can surface especially when dissociation is involved. Sometimes the nightmares are actual parts of memories and other times it is a recurring theme. Please discuss with your therapist.
