Ive been having them more lately even though I'm feeling more stable.

They're scary and so real feeling!! I wake up terrified and I can literally feel my body shaking and heaving as I cry from fear in my dream. I wake up scared that she's gonna hurt me again or my dad.

I'm scared to do trauma work but I'm tired of this.

Plus side? Aside from worsening nightmares I am really feeling stable.

Have you tried Prazosin? It's supposed to help PTSD nightmares. My pdoc offered it to me once but I decided to try it later if needed.

No I haven't. I'm supposed to start EMDR in a bout a month.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I woke up this morning convinced I had I had shot someone from a nightmare. I almost asked my husband if I had killed anyone then realized it was a dream.
