The night before last I have two nightmares I was shot, they were so so vivid I could feel the bullets and remember exactly where I was shot in both dreams. I amso was in a boat (like a ferry) with a glass bottom that sank and I remember that vividly too. About 3/4 nights ago I had a nightmare my ex locked me in our old flat (which he used to do) and was threatening to kill me - he slices my fingers which again I felt, and held the knife up to my cheek, below my eye and threatened me and I felt him press harder and harder with it slicing me slowly. About 2 weeks ago I had another dream I was in the army running and was shot twice - once in the neck and actually felt myself dying. How can I stop them happening? I am getting scared to go to bed again now and when I wake up in the middle of the night I actually try and hold my eyes open to prevent going back to sleep, but I am half asleep anyway so it's impossible. Anyway, what would make them go away?
