Lately when i go to sleep i have nightmares, why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your daily thoughts: Your nightmares are related to your daily thoughts, but they get exaggerated or twisted in your sleep. If these nightmares are interfering with your life or functioniing see your primary care physician and have him refer you to a psychiatric.
