My psychiatrist and therapist have asked if I have recurring nightmares but I can't answer that because I don't remember them. I have multiple nightmares a night that wake me up in state of sweaty confusion and panic but I have no memory of the dream. My fiancé has said that sometimes when I'm asleep I'm shaking or twitching and he's not sure if he should wake me up or not. I get less than 4 hours of sleep a night. I know there are tricks you can do to start remembering your dreams but I'm not sure I want to do that. When I do remember a nightmare it usually haunts me all day and increases my triggers and panic attacks. But at the same time part of me wonders if there is information in those dreams that will help me heal.

Anyone else struggle with not being able to remember your nightmares?

Same thing happens to me. I don't wake up panicked since I'm so used to nightmares that they don't distress me much, but sometimes I wake up in cold sweats. I get around 6-8 hours of sleep a night but that's because I go to bed early, but I always wake up 1-3 times per night
