dreams
i have a lotta vivid dreams, and theyre always frightening, stressful, or sad, so i keep waking up scared, panicked or even crying. so it takes me forever to get back to sleep again. i know i probs cant stop the dreams but does anyone have any tips on how i could relax when i wake up from them? ive tried everything from stretching to listening to music to breathign excersizes and nothing works until i just drop off back to sleep again and have another scary/panicking dream. what else can i do?
the dreams are usually about me being lost somewere and panicking that i cant get back, or me dying, or being chased by something, that kinda thing if that helps.
ta muchly.

Well starting off with the dreams...are you eating right before you go to bed..or watching alot of tv?? That can cause bad dreams.....try reading alittle before going to bed....it will get your really tired from looing at the pages filled with words. but if your do get these bad dreams and wake up, try drinking a glass of water, it will cool you down, or try reading again lol, find something boring. My assisstant principal told us all that if we wake up in the middle of the night and cant sleep, to read the like 5pagesof school rules in out agenda books (school planners). Hope i helped!

Grab a teddy bear.It's comforting.Also, make sure that you aren't cold and you feel warm.You sleep better when you are warmer.Try not to eat before bedtime.

It's kind of hard to understand, but you are the one in control of your dreams, lets say your getting chased by something...maybe dream that you were all of a sudden a hundred times bigger than it and you stepped on it when you were running away!:) Or...if these dreams can't be stopped, it'll take awhile, but you need to wake up with the windows closed and some sort of light on because it'll make you feel safer if you can see what's around you. If your still scared, hide under your covers and try to think of something really happy, sometimes it'll give you confidence. Think of a beach or your birthday...anything that makes YOU feel better.

I would get up..go to each of my family members and it would kind of reassure me that everything is ok and it was only a bad dream. I would think happy thoughts about how lucky i am to have a good home and that im not lost, but im where i belong. I would maybe count all the reasons why i love my home,family,etc. Maybe this will help you fall asleep quicker,calm you down, and maybe even give you a pleasent dream. This is just me, but i would get up and log onto games.com and play a scrabble game (theres other games too) So perhaps try that..i mean its worth a shot right?
i hope your nightmares go away...best of luck
