Why do I keep having similar nightmares every night? for two weeks straight I have been getting nightmares, but here is some context. during the day i am always having fearful thoughts that someone will break into my house or room and kill me. But not when i am out and about. I can be sitting against a wall and feel extreme fear that someone is behind me about to stab me. And i can see their face in my head. Idk this person. But obviously it is not humanly possible to be behind me while i am against a wall of my house. It is illogical, and in the moment feels so real. At night i have had a hard time falling asleep lately. And once i fall asleep i have a dream in different scenarios all ending up with me being stabbed. In one, everyone else was shot but somehow that same killer stabbed me even though im pretty sure he only had a gun. I wake up after feeling the stabbing, which is painful and frieghtening, and i wake up gasping and sweaty. Why am I getting this lately?

This might be due to anxiety. Anxiety can cause nightmares and disrupt normal sleep.
