I have chronic nightmares. Is Hypnocil a mask of the real problem or a blessing to stop having nightmares?

its a suppressant... it'll only surpress it. look into a vitamin supplement to take with dinner. watch your nightly diet... sugar, cafeine etc.

Total darkness might help.  A sleep mask can be very helpful.  I've used one for 12 years and highly recommend it.

Wet dreams are totally natural, and not even remotely 'evil'. You cannot control them, although it is true that masturbation before bed will prevent them.

Lunesta is good, it will help you to sleep, but the bad taste in your mouth the next morning is why i stopped taking it.  If you can handle it, you have the most realistic dreams.

You are not alone at all. \nVery often, I would laugh at the most NON funny times.\nIt's just a mental reaction that allot of people have. \nI would suggest writing. It's very therapeutic and maybe you can get rid of some of those nightmares...\nI wish you the best and don't let anyone talk down to you!\nIt's OK to be different. God knows I am. I kinda like to call myself loonie/different/weird just because compared to most to the shallow minded people in the world..I AM! :-)\nNeed an ear, message me,\n~T~

Answers will differ for different circumstances.  Do you have a recurring nightmare or just unpleasant dreams in general? A recurring nightmare related to a past experience probably means you've still not dealt with it and I'd suggest finding a support forum somewhere and writing about that experience where people can give you feedback and love.  If you just have nightmares, period, make sure you're getting enough sleep and eating right, and enough. Trite as it sounds, it does make a difference. I used to have bad dreams if I worked too hard, forgot to eat and drink fluids, and then finally went to bed, much later than I should have. I don't suggest going to a shrink unless it's a last resort--they cost a lot and won't help much. All they do is give you someone to talk to and you can do that on the internet for free.  There's no medication for nightmares. Dreams are - I think - just a sort of garbage dump for the mind; they do what the kidneys and liver do for the body. So if you have a lot of "toxic" dreams it could mean your life is creating a lot of mental stress and not enough satisfaction to balance it, so it builds up, and if the "garbage disposal" isn't working, you end up with a lot of bad dreams.  That's not science, of course, just a thought.

Your body needs to stay in REM longer and deeper. Most likely, you are melatonin deficient. Go to the health food store and buy some melatonin. Its natural and our own bodies produce it so it is safe. Start with one 10mg pill a night. This will keep you in a sleep that is deep enough that you don't remember your dreams.\n\nOn a metaphysical level. The knife weilding villan is you attacking yourself. Watch what you say about yourself to other people. Avoid self depreciation. \n\nGood Luck.

I do. Of course, I have narcolepsy. My worst symptom is hypnagogic hallucinations. In a nutshell, I go into REM sleep too fast...before my body gets a chance to shut down. As a result, although I am dreaming my eyes are open and I see my bedroom. It freaks out everyone I know. They don't even know I'm asleep until I start screaming for help getting the bunnies back in the closet. \n\nhttp://neurology.health-cares.net/hypnagogic-hallucination.php

I have been having the same nightmare since I was a child and I still wake up unable to scream or catch my breath.  I've also woken up sad/angry/happy with someone because of what happened the night before in my dreams.  It's strange because when you see the person next it's hard to talk to them.  I have to explain the dream and it usually makes me feel better.

For some reasons, I used to have nightmares that the headboard on my bed would come to life (if would have these teo cold looking beady eyes that sometimes glowed) and it would attack me, usually stinging me in the neck.  I would try to run away but it would send out some type of force where I could only run so far and no more, and I couldn't scream either.\n\nI used to wake up crying hysterically sometimes because of it.

Try changing your routine at night before you sleep. Try thinking positive thoughts as you are lying there trying to sleep. Look into 'lucid dreaming' - it is the method of controlling what happens as you dream. \n\nFailing that, it doesn't hurt to discuss your problem with a therapist. \n\nGood luck, sweet dreams.

Hi, my name is CJ.  \nI have experienced night terrors , on and off,  for years.  \nLooking back,  they seemed to occur at the most stressful times of my life, and usually when I was dog ass  tired. \nMy night terrors are more then nightmares.  When I'm having a nightmare, I know its not real,  and that if it gets too scarey I can wake myself up.   With my night terrors,  I at times,  find myself dreaming w/ my eyes open, and have self-induced hallucinations..  seeing things or people in my room,  and reacting and/or talking to them.    Usually, I wake up the next morning exhausted, not remembering my dream,  until my husband reminds me that I was talking to the black shadowy figure in the corner,  telling him to back off !  When I was 8 months pregnant w/  my son,  I was sleeping in our bed,  and dreamnt that I woke to find this dark hooded figure reaching thru the window,  thru my headboard for me.  According to my husband,  it took him close to 15 min's to convince me no one was there. I later just blew it off as being protective and anxious for my newborn child on the way. \n   Weird huh ?   Sounds almost like someone who did too many drugs in the 60's,  and I've never touched em !  lol \n\nWhat are yours like ?

go to your doc and get on Ambien CR..  it's non addictive and works like a charm...  it's control release so it keeps you in a nice even sleep pattern for a good 7 hours, and when you wake you don't feel drowsy or sluggish..  your doc may have samples to give you.  btw.. lots of people suffer from insomnia either from stress or any number of reasons, but just to let you know, it's always there when a person becomes or is depressed..

Well first of all if you watch lots of horrer films or else if you listen to rowdy type of music or devil type music. It always depends on how you feel before you go to bed to. If your in a bad mood your in for a ride. Found something right off the web about it...\n\nThere are a number of possibilities. Some nightmares can be caused by certain drugs or medications, or by rapid withdrawal from them, or by physical conditions such as illness and fever. The nightmares of early childhood likely reflect the struggle to learn to deal with normal childhood fears and problems. Many people experience nightmares after they have suffered a traumatic event, such as surgery, the loss of a loved one, an assault or a severe accident. The nightmares of combat veterans fall into this category. The content of these nightmares is typically directly related to the traumatic event and the nightmares often occur over and over. Other people experience nightmares when they are undergoing stress in their waking lives, such as difficulty or change on the job or with a loved one, moving, pregnancy, financial concerns, etc. Finally, some people experience frequent nightmares that seem unrelated to their waking lives. These people tend to be more creative, sensitive, trusting and emotional than average. \n\nIf you want more info go to http://www.asdreams.org/nightma.htm more info.
