Is there a cure for having nightmares?

Here are a number of things you can do;

1. Telling someone about it. Actually telling someone about your nightmares can help the nightmares stop (whether its a random kid on the internet, or your mother, or your friend. Tell anyone!), or atleast the number of nightmares would cease. It’s a pretty easy way to help. But it doesn’t always work.

2. Lucid dreaming! Lucid dreaming is really, really fun. It’s when you know you are dreamig and can control it. if you visit www.dreamviews.com, you will be given quite a bit of information on how to lucid dream, and there are certian spells or tricks you can do in your dream to help you achieve a goal (ex; most people think flying in dreams is easy, but you actually need to practice!) Once in the dream, do not wake up! Stay there, and fight off the bad guy. Tell them you are the dreamer, he is not real, and therefor, he can not scare you. This is one of the best (and not to mention, most fun) thing to do while sleeping. (;

3. Relax before sleeping! Here are some links to great techniques. Even if they don’t sound like they can help you, a lot probably can: http://www.umm.edu/sleep/relax_tech.htm

4. Get regular exercize. This is also a good way to calm your stress, which is the reason for your nightmares.

5. If you’ve been taking medication, and the nightmares started around then, talk to your doctor.
