Nightmares

I've been having nightmares lately. Really scary, sometimes painful nightmares.

Sometimes I wake up crying.

Sometimes I wake up in pain or really really scared.

So I've started putting the radio on the classical music station and just listening to the sweet magic of pure music. It's absolutely beautiful. But it doesn't work.

Since that didn't work by itself, I've started taking an herbal antidepressant as well as listening to the music.

That helped a couple nights but the the nightmares came back. No matter what i've tried they keep coming back.

Usually I have them where I'm in River's head from Serenity on the planet Miranda. I can hear the silence of the dead. I can also hear the anger of the of the reavers
It's super scary and I hate it.

Any suggestions for how to get rid of this?

I too am often afflicted by nightmares, they can lead to turrible insomnia if you're not careful. Don't take melatonin because it causes nightmares because of how sarotonin in the brain reacts with it.

Try drinking a glass of warm milk or something and either read or watch something that is gushy happy. and most important try not to think about the nightmares at any point during the day, or at least that's what the head shrinker has told me! Hope this helps a little
