    Same problem. After having a nightmare I wake up with a headache from the stress/anxiety.

    Best solution I came up with, try to force yourself to become lucid in every dream by realizing that shitty experiences aren’t real (anymore) so you must be dreaming. Once you know you’re dreaming, you can consciously decide to not care anymore. Laugh in the face of your monsters/adversary, and calm down.

      Is it too warm in the bed? Sounds like lack of water. Try reducing the temperature or using thinner covers :)

        That’s weird I never heard of anything like that. Perhaps you’re doing lucid dreaming wrong? Are you using methods that lets you slip into one, or do you naturally realize you’re dreaming amid a dream?
