Is it normal that i can't sleep at night?

I believe I have insomnia. I can't sleep at night, no matter how tired I am. I get about 3 hours of sleep every couple of days. When I actually do manage to fall asleep, I have terrible nightmares about murder. And all of them are about some type of murder. I am also hallucinating. This can't be normal.

    You have to sleep shirtless. If you sleep shirtless you're going to sleep better. Believe me

    Possible Causes-You should go to a doctor. Are you in any medicine? Some medicines give people horrible insomnia. I remember when I was on lamictal, I couldn't sleep a wink. You could also have sleep apnia.

    Hallucinations-If the hallucinations are sudden, then it's probably a side effect from the lack of sleep. Make sure to tell you doctor this and if it was sudden or gradual.

    For the nightmares-Before you go to sleep, try to do something relaxing such as reading a book. Try not to look at horror movies or video games. I used to have really bad nightmares but when I stopped playing horror games before I went to sleep, they went away.

    The act of killing in a dream need not be negative. As we grow and change, it often feels like we are killing a part of ourselves during periods of transition. Alternatively, killing in a dream may mean that you have murdered the incentive and enthusiasm for life.
    Dreaming of death does not necessarily symbolize physical death, however, it can represent a fear of it. Violent death can symbolize anger and aggression. To dream of dying, especially if you are unhappy or distressed about it, can signify a letting go of something. It could be an old part of yourself, an old portion of your life, or a close relation or friend. However, to dream of a lifeless corpse can represent a weakening state or a kind of death in your life that comes from devoting yourself to a miserable and lifeless routine.

    You need to see a dr. ASAP. Take Tylenol PM or Benadryl in the meantime and see of that helps. Good luck, and please get help.
