As someone struggling with PTSD, you've probably had a nightmare or two that evokes either your direct traumatic experience or the feelings that went along with it.

Why do we have nightmares? What is their purpose? Is it possible to get them to stop?

How You Can Start Stopping Your Nightmare

Dream Revision Technique
