Hi James, you know I use to be that way about dreams/nightmares until I started looking into what they really meant. It's nothing more than thoughts that are stored in our subconscious throughout the day according to what we hear, see or thing about. Whether it's a good dream or a bad nightmare, it's never what it seems to be. Our brain expresses our fears in it's own interpretation. It gives our minds an outlet, a way to see clearer how what we need to work on, what bothers us in life. When they are good dreams, then it's a matter of giving us hope and peace of mind.

If you think about it in that context maybe just maybe you won't fear it and it won't get you down. It's a normal function of our body's mind in keeping us mentally healthy.

Yes, I’ve done this before. I had a dream that I took a drug I was afraid of and woke up terrified and it just made my anxiety so much worse. You’re not alone.
