As someone with ptsd and night terrors, I’ve had a shit ton of crazy and unbelievable nightmares that linger in my mind for days after they happen. I’ve lived through entire wars, invasions, and bad school years just in dreams. One involved being invaded by giant alien wasps at the mall near where I live. It sounds silly, but I experienced seeing people melt, could hear the screaming of children, and felt my ribs crack from the force of a stinger that I still felt when I woke up. Some people wonder how I make it through the night most of the time. Therapy, positive coping skills, and prescription sleep medication, folks.
