Is it normal that all of my dreams are nightmares?

I only have nightmares. Ever since I started remembering my dreams they have been awful. Worse than awful most of the time actually. I suffer from anxiety and depression. I often wonder which came first the depression or the nightmares?

    You are not dealing problems in your daily life. So then order for your brain to deal with it. The energy is transferred into bad dreams.

    Heavy eating before going to sleep can also cause nightmares.

    Symptoms of depression and anxiety are often nightmares. This makes sense because dreams are the brains way of sorting information so your brain must regularly be sorting out anxious and/or depressive thoughts. If it is becoming an issue feel free to speak to a doctor and then get further help. Although it may seem alarming it can be quite common with the disorders you mentioned.
