You will be amazed at how much it can hurt you physically, emotionally, and psychologically.

1. You lack sleep. This is especially true when you have recurring nightmares and, worse, you are alone in your bedroom. Nightmares can wake you up in the middle of the night, and since there is a feeling that it can come back to haunt you, you hardly ever go back to bed.

2. Leaves a very heavy feeling. Nightmares don’t have to be about vampires, monsters, aliens, and other creatures. It could also be about a lost love, a broken dream, and other heartbreaking images. Even if the situation in your dream did not happen, it will still leave you with a very unpleasant feeling, sometimes lonely, angry and sad.

3. Returns you to the past. Your nightmares may have happened a long time ago. After all, it is something that you have experienced yourself. This type of dream is called a repressed trauma nightmare. This memory may have been hidden for a long time in the past. However, for some unknown reason, he comes back to “life”. You are always remembered through your dreams.

4. It can cause a heart attack. Seriously, several people have died due to nightmares. When you have that kind of sleep, your heart tends to beat faster than before, which makes you feel really tired and slower.

5. It can cause an anxiety attack. If it is not a heart attack, you will surely develop some kind of paranoia or anxiety disorder, especially if the dreams become too difficult to handle.

When nightmares start to interfere with your personal life, it’s time to seek professional help. You shouldn’t let those bad dreams control you.
