Nightmares screaming

Im screaming at night when I'm dreaming. How do I stop screaming??

Why do you need to stop screaming? Its a fairly normal and harmless response to terror/horror.

My screaming wakes up my bf. He has a hard time sleeping by me.

I have the same problem. I didn't even realize I was doing it until I got with my husband. I don't know how to stop it. I can never predict when it is going to happen.

I Found out when I started sleeping at my boyfriends. It's so embarrassing. I hate it.

hopefully your boyfriend will learn to wake you without startling you. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

Another it's not just me moment... more than twice a week my daughter would tell me my TV was very loud last night..( TV was Off ) wasn't till I started sleeping at my G/F's house I learned the Truth.. it happily went away the more time I spent with her

Nothing to be embarrassed about.

Agreed. Short of sleeping with a sock in your mouth there is not much you can do anyway. If you keep working on getting better the screaming eventually stops (mostly) and the nightmares die down.
