Nightmares

Hello
I am interested to hear your theories on nightmares.

My mum has been diagnosed for 18 years so I am hyper aware of symptoms and almost know too much on it! ; )

In recent times, my nightmares have become so vivid (why are they always so horrific?! ; ), and for the first time last night, I tried to push something away in my dreams.

I know my mum had years of lashing out in her dreams

Just wondered, what was your experience of nightmares. Did anything trigger them? Or ease them? I wonder if nightmares are to do with the gut.

Thank you
