How do you cope with nightmares?

This is something that I have been learning to do over the years and I think I might have some helpful tips for you. My nightmares are recurring and have made me go days at a time without sleep. It was very unhealthy, so the first thing I did was analyze them. I tried to understand them more and this made them seem less scary. The next thing I did was I got a companion to sleep in the room with me, in this case a cat. It made going to bed a little more comfortable. The last thing I did was redesign my room a bit. I associated my bedroom and my bed with bedtime and my nightmares. Changing the blankets and some of the arrangements helped me be more comfortable sleeping in there. My nightmares still happen, but less often and they don't affect me as strongly anymore. However if your nightmares are coming from a place of trauma or anything like that then they might be more tricky. I hope this can help you, I know I only mentioned some small changes. If your nightmares are so scary that you avoid sleep, a good start is to take power naps throughout the day. This way you can at least get some rest without being subjected to your dreams. It will also help you get re-accustomed to sleeping soundly.

The best way is to make fun of the very thing that scares you. Sounds like a Harry Potter scenario, but you're a wizard in your mind. Nightmares are usually recurring, which means there is one thing that scares you the most. And that keeps repeating in your dreams. You need to take that one talent you have, and use it against the entity. The trick came to me, when I was paguee by nightmares as well. I'm good at football, so I used the ball and threw it at the monster. After that, it never came back. It takes practice though
