I'm not sure what to do about these. I never am, really.

Nightmares, sleep paralysis, and hallucinations are a part of having narcolepsy. I've accepted this and I've accepted that it will happen for the rest of my life.

But all the same, I still hate them. I've been dreaming of being stalked, being shot, being assaulted, having friends and family members dying, failing out of college, losing my job, losing all my money, stuff like that. It's all so realistic that I'll wake up disoriented and afraid. I'm honestly not sure if I'm experiencing sleep paralysis or hallucinations again, because I haven't had problems with those in a while. Still, the nightmares are getting much more frequent and scary.

I think the weird part is that my life has been going pretty well in the past few months. No major issues to speak of. Yet every time things in my life seem to be going good, the nightmares come back and don't let up. They only really leave when I'm in a depressive episode.

They may mean you are departing from those feelings, and that can be scary. For at one time they were old friends for you. That is why when you are healing and feel better, you start to feel scared and feel panic.

They only dream from subconscious mind, just consider as a movie. don't get emotional

Hello. Even though life is going well for you with no major issues to speak of, maybe there's a part of you that is actually quite afraid that things will go wrong or maybe you dread the onset of the depression - which then trigger your nightmares, I'm just guessing. For me, my nightmares and sleep paralysis stem from certain core insecurities - according to my own analysis.

Sorry you're experiencing these night terrors, but hang in there and keep trying to iron it out. All the best.

Yes. Just send love into the problem. As simple as that. Just say "I send love into my narcolepsy" or whatever it is) Also work on all your problems that way. Work on social problems that way. Send love into them. You will be clearing a lot of negativity from your life which may be contributing to the situation.
