Nightmares: leading to a bloody tongue indicates that you need to see your doctor to determine if something medical needs to be identified and treated. He/she can look at your tongue as well, which is likely to heal on its own, but diagnosis is very important. Peace and good health.

Bloody tongue: Check with your PCP about this or an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. Then ask them about getting a mouth/teeth guard to minimize injury to your tongue when you sleep.
