I am so glad to be here! I'm open to any questions that anyone wants to ask, but I will say that my specialties lie in the artistic and musical areas. My answers will always be carefully researched and thought out. Thanks for asking me a question- I'll get back to you very soon!

I've been waking up feeling panicked and terrified for the last few weeks-every night. The thing is.. I don't remember the majority of my nightmares. I will remember a couple of horrifying pieces, but that's it. I will wake up shaking, sweating, heart pounding, and terrified. I'm not stressed or ANYTHING, I'm perfectly healthy other than the nightmares. So, does anyone know what's going on? Am I having night terrors instead of nightmares?
P.S. This is effecting me when I'm awake. I'm frightened all the time, especially when I'm alone. It's also causing me to lose sleep. (link)

I have heard that temperature can sometimes affect a person's dream. It may be too hot in your room during the night- I would suggest turning a fan on, opening a window, throwing off the covers, ect.
Also, it helps a lot of people to read a calm book before turning out the light. Try to stay away from scary movies or stories because a lot of the time, dreams have to do with the stuff we think about in our everyday lives.
When you're alone in the dark, it's easy to imagine all sorts of things in the shadows. You can help yourself to calm down with a night light- and no, they're not just for little kids. Fear of the dark is something a lot of people face, and even if you're not afraid of dark, it may help you calm down.
One last thing that helps a lot of people is to hum a happy tune when they're afraid and focus on the words of the song. I hope that I was a help- Have a restful night!

Thank you! The temperature in my room is a bit chilly, but that's what helps me sleep. I don't really watch/read anything scary before bed and I can't sleep with any sort of light on, I have to have it dark (I also sleep with a night mask on). When I wake up terrified, I pray but it doesn't help because I freak myself out again. I'm going to the doctor if it keeps up over the weekend.
