> I often feel like a complete and utter charlatan if I dare to offer any advice to other people's posts because I myself am an absolute mess but I certainly have lots and lots of experience with nightmares.
**** No, no problem at all. Anyone who's ever had problems knows it's much easier to advise other people than to apply their advice to yourself.
> I haven't found any way to stop them but managing the distress the day (or days) afterwards is easier if I write it down, in detail. I think nightmares are like messages from your mind and writing it down says clearly - okay, got that message, roger that. It doesn't make the nightmares stop, for me, but it seems to lessen the daytime revisiting.**** Thanks. Maybe I'll try that.
