Answer 1

Dreams are usually based on what the dreamer encountered that day, or what is physically happening in their sleep. But, in your case neither. Anything big happen in your life lately? If the dreams don't stop, id suggest going to a psychologist.

Answer 2

believe it or not some foods you eat can affect your dreams eg. cheese

also stress or anxiety try putting lavender drops on your pillow at night it might help

Don’t drink caffeine or eat at least 4 hrs before bedtime.  Also, try not to sleep on you back b/c sometimes that can cause nightmares when the blood is more in the back of head.

and how do you estimate your things?

Answer 6

you think negitive

Answer 7

often stress causes bad dreams. Just try to destress and eat a healthy diet. Also, think about something happy before you go to bed

Answer 8

You have fears that are manifesting as dreams. Avoid spicy or fatty foods after 6:00 p.m., take a bath before bed to just relax yourself, and when you climb into bed, close your eyes and take a few slow breaths in and out of your nose.

Begin a routine of always checking the locks on your doors and windows before bed. This will promote a feeling of security, even when the chances of your home being burglarized are slim. Make sure that your valuables aren't in plain sight through your windows as well. Do anything you feel is necessary to make yourself feel at ease in your own home.

I hope you start sleeping better!

Answer 10

Theres no definite source of bad dreams. Stress can cause them, what you think about before you go to bed can affect them. Some people even think what you eat affects your dreams. I personally just try to keep my mind on pleasant, positive things before I go to sleep. It sometimes helps.

Or you could just ignore them. They're only dreams.
