So basically I have nightmares/bad dreams about 5 times a week and they're really bad, like getting bombed, drowning, burnt alive, fed to sharks, really horrible stuff like that, and at least 5 a week. is that normal?
Nightmares don't always have to be violent or macabre in order to be a "nightmare", but it doesn't mean anything special that yours are. The images in dreams are pretty random, but the underlying emotions that you are experiencing are a reflection/amplification of the emotions you experience the most during your waking hours.
And like Curiouserandcuriouser stated, it's good to practice good sleep hygiene if you want to have a restful sleep.
I don't think that's normal to be honest. Stress and unresolved problems often lead to an increase in these type of dreams. What you do before going to bed also has an effect on your dreams. So I'd try to avoid anything stressful like arguing with someone, horror movies or books etc. Relaxing before bedtime should help.
got to dream dictionary :D i love nightmare i feel so alive when im in fear lol. but seriously the dream dictionary (<-google it) reflects in ur waking life. theyre very accurate in my opinion. each dream has there meaning.
Perfectly normal, I used to be like that myself. In fact I was so used to it they didnt even scare me anymore. More like the horror moves I love, I just find them funny.
Oh and I wasnt filled with stress or depressed or anything either, I was perfectly normal. only if its disrupting your sleep is it bad.
