I don't remember my dreams often, just mostly physical sensations. However for about a month after I first started exploring my past I was having a lot of nightmares. I would awakening in the middle of the night full of fear. Heart racing, shaking, tingling up the spine, etc. I would have to get up pace the house in order to shake it off and settle back down. This happened for like at least once a night for like 2 weeks. I couldn't really describe what the dreams were about--just a total sense of fear. One morning as I drifted a wake I realized that I was repeatedly triggering myself into a state of fear and then bringing myself back down again. I woke up thinking "holy crap I'm practicing settling myself in my sleep." I don't know if I was just dreaming this practice session or if I was actually mentally practicing raising then lower my anxiety level. Whatever it was, it worked. I stopped having the nightmares after that morning. I've experienced milder forms of nightmares intermittently since but not nearly as intense.
