Hello all,

Pleased I found this section of the forum.

I have suffered from insomnia amd nightmares and parasomnias since a child.

If ant of you have happened to read my introduction here you will know I am currently hospitalised...

I have CPTSD and was prescribed prazosin a few years ago which really didn't help, so was switched to nabilone which, very very off label us now often also prescribed for PTSd nightmares.

But for the past month or so before crashing miserably mental health wise and being admitted to hospital, have been awoken every single early morning trapped in horrible nightmares, or just really bizarre dreams that I suppose are meant fir me to process, bur I don't want them interpreted by a psychoanalyst.

Beginning to.have recurring drams fro years and years ago, and my parasomnia, one of them, sleep taking/crying/screaming, and I can hear myself...but can't wake myself up, I am trapped in a dream that, while much of the time is a " lucid dream" I am unable to loom down at my hands in the dream as they say to fo, and change the dream...

I am sleeping blessedly deeply most of the time here in hospital as opposed to at " home" ( Quotations as it is a dangerous pla e to live, can never relax there since some guy tried to break in twice in the same week a couple years ago...recently very triggered as again there was another break in.

Anyway, sorry, I digress.

I also have episodes if terrifying sleep paralysis but that, thank God, has not happened in a few weeks.

But these " night,"mares!

I feel, for many reasons, I have not really been working hard enough in therapy...or, perhaps the reverse?

Perhaps I AM processing things?

And...I know it would probably be good for me.

On the other hand...like so many other things, just want to bury it.

You.know?
