This is a spiritual attack so it must be prayed against in the name of Jesus.

I would speak to a dr. If they are about the same thing everytime there is something he needs to deal with and cognitive behavioural therapy may help with that. Also changing ones preparation for sleep, ie if you think you will have the nightmare again its in yourmind so more likely to occur. Some meds can also cause nightmares.

Hope he gets sorted x

Are these nightmares or hallucinations which can occur close to going to sleep or waking?  I presume there is an vision problem as you have posted within this area? If so, please search for Charles Bonnet syndrome  on Google. There is much info from the Macular Society on this topic and others if the problem is related to low vision. 

Very best wishes,

Gill

We would suggest that you contact the Macular Society helpline on 0300 3030 111 to discuss the possibility that your brother may be experiencing hallucinations.   When hallucinations happen as a result of sight loss they are known as Charles Bonnet Syndrome.   Hallucinations can occur because of sight loss.

Thank you.
