Title: What Exactly Is a Nightmare?
Post by: OMG on January 30, 2009, 12:54:34 PM
If you've ever had a nightmare, you're in good company. Almost everyone gets them once in a while - adults, as well as kids. A nightmare is a bad dream. It can may make you feel scared, anxious, or upset, but nightmares are not real and can't harm you.

While you sleep, your brain doesn't just turn off. It goes through several sleep stages, including REM, or Rapid Eye Movement, sleep. Why do they call it that? Because during this stage of sleep, your eyes move back and forth under your closed eyelids. During REM sleep, you have dreams and sometimes those dreams can be scary or upsetting.

About every 90 minutes your brain switches between non-REM sleep and REM sleep. The amount of time spent in REM sleep increases with each sleep cycle through the night. The longest periods of REM sleep occur towards morning. If you wake during this REM stage, it is easier for you to remember what you were dreaming about. That's why your most vivid dreams - and nightmares - occur in the early morning hours.

Yeah, it was pretty strange. I had a few nightmares on Tuesday night and they were as not normal as not normal can be! The first dream I had was about murder/death. I was at Starbucks with some friends when I found a picture book documenting the murders of a crazy Mexican gang. I found myself looking through all of their pictures even though I knew they were all pretty horrific/gruesome. (I guess I was just excited to flip through a book that wasn't supposed to be found by the general public.) I saw burnt and mutilated bodies/faces. It seemed really real to me at the time, so I was feeling pretty sick/sad about what I had found at the coffee shop. :-X The next dream I had was about camping in the forrest with friends. We were all hanging around the dock that lead into the lake. It was a very nice summer evening. I went to dip my bare feet into the water to take in all the wonders that surrounded me, but I fell into the water! I tried really hard to swim, but my legs were not moving and I was drowning. I was yelling for help, but it was like no one could hear me. I felt like someone who wasn't going to be saved. Then I woke up, went to the bathroom, got somethign to drink, and never thought about that stuff again (until I woke up.)

Why Do I Get Nightmares?

Stressful things that happen during the day can turn dreams into nightmares. Nightmares may be a way to relieve the pressures of the day. This usually means dealing with things most kids have to face at one time or another: problems at home, problems at school, and stress from sports or schoolwork. Sometimes major changes, such as moving or the illness or death of a loved one, can cause stress that leads to nightmares.

Another thing that may cause nightmares is watching scary movies or reading scary books, especially before you go to bed.

Sometimes if you are sick, especially with a high fever, you may have nightmares. Certain medications also can cause nightmares. Let your parents and doctor know if you notice you are having more nightmares around the time you started a new medicine.

Title: Re: What Exactly Is a Nightmare?
Post by: OMG on January 30, 2009, 01:36:00 PM

eat healthy, exercise before going to bed and most of all, pray to God and keep thin mind all the time:

How Can I Prevent Nightmares?

Although it is normal to have a nightmare once in a while, there are some techniques you can try to get nightmares under control.

Get into a healthy sleep routine. Try to go to bed about the same time and wake up at the same time every day. Unless you're sick or didn't get enough sleep the night before, avoid naps during the day. Avoid eating or exercising just before bedtime. Avoid scary books or movies before bedtime if you think they might be causing your nightmares.

Sleep with a stuffed toy or favorite blanket. This helps some kids feel more secure.

Use a nightlight. Even if you gave up yours up years ago, you might want to turn it back on. With a nightlight, if you awake from a nightmare, you'll be able to see familiar things and remember where you are.

Keep your door open. This will help you remember that your family is close by. If you are scared, get up and find someone for reassurance. You're never too old for a hug!
