I think you are speaking about acceptance of emotions and situations. If so, yeah, thats what I'm trying to do, too. Thanks for the answer. :)

Not fully. Its more i stopped fighting to grab ahold of anything and just stopped, let myself be, and let what comes come.

Not sure if thats acceptance of emotions and situations then yeah. Not sure what thats called.

but it is a miracle worker on nightmares. You know you've had them, but when you wake up, they disappear from your memory. It's amazing.

I wish mine would disappear from my memory, but because they are all 100% "play backs" of real events, that I went through, they are with me all the time?

I so relate. My nightmares wake me up in a total anxiety panic. I am frightened beyond belief. Apparently l save my anxiety attacks for the night. And it seems that these anxiety nightmares now can be triggered with anything l want. What? My brain found away to check me. I thought l had it together.

Aye! it takes my brain a while to sort where I actually am when I first wake up, it gets so confusing? It s a horrible feeing to have, and leaves me feeling really scared as well.

The nightmares are so realistic as well, right down to every detail, it's like going through the whole terrifying experience all over again! That why I hate having these nightmares!

I have an absoulte ton of anxiety at night. Id say 3 times as much then daytime.

My nightmares (and dreams in general) are so real that when i wake up, i call the person that died in the nightmare thinking they are dead or hurt. [3am check in calls got old for my family] And contunue arging with the person i was in the dream.

What makes it more real is what ever noise is around me in real life when im sleeping makes it into my dream. So if you are there and talking, im fighting with you in my dream and when i wake up i dont miss a beat in the arguement but the person is like "why are you yelling at me". Its crazy!

I talk & walk in my sleep. Im a very active sleeper.

The nightmares you are talking about are related to the traumatic event(s) or irrelevant?

Mine are always very traumatic. Something that upsets me and l have no control over it.

 

[lostforgottensoul]

@PTSDisweird, it depends but a lot are relevent, some arent, all are super vivid.

Mine are all from events that I've gone through in the past.

Mine can be something that l feel trapped by. Unwanted male attention sent me into nightmare status. I know it's just life but l felt very threatened that particular day. I ignored the guy but suffered in my sleep.
