Nightmares: You should see your doctor to rule out medical causes of this pain. You could be experiencing pain that is causing nightmares while your sleeping. If medical issues are ruled out and nightmares continue consider seeing a mental health professional who can help you uncover the cause and help you develop better coping skills. Best.
