Hi, I've been struggling with recurring dreams for a very long time, but lately, as I've been progressing in therapy they've gotten worse.

Possible trigger:

I'm always being chased by someone with a knife, it's always the same person (I don't have any memories of that happening, but I also have very few memories from childhood. Always a different setting. I'm just running, running, running. The vividness of the dream is unlike almost any others, the only one that feels the same is another recurring dream I have about corpses, the two often intertwine, and usually revolve around corpses moving in some grotesque manner, crawling across the floor, eyes rolling about. Obviously I know the latter isn't a memory No matter how awful my other dreams get, they're never vivid like these ones.

My sister and me don't talk very often about the content of our dreams etc, as neither of us have many memories and we've been avoiding planting ideas in each others heads, but she messaged me distressed the other day to tell me about her recurring dreams, which are essentially the same as mine.
I was wondering if anyone here who is a survivor of childhood trauma has had any experiences with recurring dreams, particularly if they have memory gaps.
Thank you so much
