Hello, I am new to the sleep group but I went through the past year of posts first to make sure I am not duplicating anything. I am not sure, but here goes. I have recurring nightmares. Sometimes I wake up feeling absolutely traumatized from them. My head is not right, I cannot think clearly, my body is locked up, writhing, I have a crippling migraine. It takes hours, if not all day, for these feelings to subside.
