I have nightmares every night, they often involve me being lost and very distressed in strange places. Last night I was in a strange city, the buildings were tall and I couldn’t see ahead of me and no matter how far I walked I couldn’t find familiar territory. I had no money or cards and I’d lost my phone so couldn’t make contact with family for help.
I do have other nightmares not connected to being lost, but this is the main patten. I wake up feeling absolutely dreadful and often tearful. I NEVER have pleasant dreams.
It’s come to the point where I’m afraid to go on holiday abroad with my DH incase this happens for real. I have a poor sense of direction and would not have the confidence to go exploring by myself and wonder if this is connected in anyway.
I’m not really sure what I’m asking for here, I guess I’m wondering if anyone else has suffered nightmares and if they’ve found anything that helps stop them?
I don’t want to take prescription meds so I haven’t discussed with my GP.
