For the past two to three months I've been having nightmares. Sometimes they're just off the wall, other times they're about things that are on my mind. I get enough sleep, but I sleep really late. I eat well and exercise. I don't get stressed out, but my dreams are always about underlying thoughts that bother me.
What can I do so I can just get a peaceful night's rest for once?
also, if you believe in this kind of thing, try a dream catcher. even if you don't believe, tell yourself you actually do think it catches all your nightmares. it's worth a try! [ x3julsiee's advice column | Ask x3julsiee A Question ]

Maybe you should try a sleeping pill to. Hope this helps! [ ccupcake07's advice column | Ask ccupcake07 A Question ]

I have nightmares pretty often too, and Im not sure why. Theyre not like 'BOO!' scary but scary as in.. like things that are bothering me and really freaking me out. Like my bestfriend. Shes changed SOO much since highschool started so lastnight I dreamt she went emo, trashed my house, and other awful details. And somewhere along that line my baby blanket got shredded DD':
But I take a great deal of medication for mood disorders and were still working that out so that might have something to do with it.
I would try seeing a psychologist. I see one like every monday, lol. Shes an intern and were pretty much like buddies
But I recently bought a yoga book for teens and before bed Im going to try meditating with a lot of the breathing excercises so
Im interested to see how that goes :]
and Im supposed to just chill out an hour before bed. Like no computer or tv. Just read or something. No MySpace before bed..its tough but possible. Hah
