About a month and a half ago I started having horrible nightmares that last all night. I would wake up violently, sometimes screaming, every hour or two. Every time I fell back asleep I would go right back into the same nightmare. 

The strange part of this is that these dreams always have the same setting/environment, but the content of the dream always changes. Mostly it is about people trying to find me / kill me. Other times I'm being tortured, raped, or watching other get tortured or killed. 

And these nightmares are fairly new. I mean, I've had a few nightmares in my past, but nothing this extreme. And especially not this often. It's happening 3-4 nights out of the week. 

I feel myself starting to get delusional. Dreaming about being in the same place the majority of the nights makes me feel like I'm living a second life. They are so exhausting, not just from sleeping well, but emotionally too. I'm meeting these people in my dreams that I'm forming intense bonds with, since they are sheltering me from danger. I've always had a horrible time deciphering dreams from reality.

I've told my psych and he has added Seroquel + Prazosin to the mix. Still having strange dreams.. hoping it gets better. 

Anyways, thanks for reading. Just wondering if anyone else can relate. Going to try and get some sleep.

Stay safe, everyone. &lt;3
