What are the effects of nightmares?

You’d be surprised how much it can hurt you physically, emotionally, and psychologically.

1. You are sleep deprived. This is especially true when you have recurring nightmares and, even worse, you are alone in your room. Nightmares can wake you up in the middle of the night, and because there is a feeling that it may come back to haunt you again, you hardly go back to bed.

2. Leaves a very heavy feeling. Nightmares don’t have to be about vampires, monsters, aliens, and other creatures. It could also be about lost love, a broken dream, and other heartbreaking images. Even if the situation in your dream did not happen, it will still leave you with a very unpleasant feeling, sometimes of loneliness, anger and sadness.

3. It brings you back to the past. Your nightmares may have already happened a long time ago. After all, it is something that you yourself have experienced. This type of dream is called repressed traumatic nightmare. This memory may have been hidden for a long time in the past. However, for some unknown reason, he comes back to “life”. You are always remembered through your dreams.

4. It can cause a heart attack. Seriously, several people have died from nightmares. When you have that kind of sleep, your heart tends to beat faster than before, which makes it very tired and slows down.

5. It can cause an anxiety attack. If it’s not a heart attack, you’re bound to develop some kind of paranoia or anxiety disorder, especially if the dreams become too much to handle.

When nightmares begin to interfere with your personal life, it’s time to seek professional help. You must not let those bad dreams control you.
