Nightmares, Insomnia: I feel your distress about having nightmares and lack of sleep. Nightmares can have anxiety and fear. They indicate traumatic experience with emotional turmoil and unresolved conflicts. See a Psychiatrist for Therapy for stresses of relationships, marriage, separation, parenting, children leaving home, work and finances. Exercise in evening; Breathing Relaxation and Meditation before sleeping.
