Thanks for your post Skeezyks; I appreciate it! I did find the articles you listed helpful. I have been trying to read more about non-drug therapies like image rehearsal therapy and lucid dreaming for nightmares, so the links you shared were useful.

Ultimately, my goal is that the nightmares end, but sometimes I wonder too about if I should be trying to deal some of the recurring dreams that do seem more meaningful (although they don’t usually have to do with what I’d consider the overtly traumatic things to me, but other concerns I have although not at the forefront of my mind). At the same time, I have spent so much time in other types of therapy trying to deal with some of those things and it hasn’t helped much. I think at this point just getting the nightmares to stop is most important and hopefully achievable/helpful.
