I was having another intense nightmare

I remember the last time I was complaining about my nightmares a sw user told me to remind myself that it’s a dream

Well during this specific dream (I keep having horrible nightmares of my son or someone getting murdered or dying right in front of me)

there was a large bottomless body of water and my 3 year old jumps in and drowns right in front of me.

I just thought “this is a dream” and everything started whithering up like a dying flower and then the dream took me somewhere else

Maybe if I can at least recognize that they’re dreams while it’s happening maybe they will stop. There for a while I didn’t even want to go to sleep due to the intensity of the night mares

This happened one other time a tsunami was coming for me and instead of running I let it hit me but as it hit me it turned into a bunch of sparkles and stars and disappeared

When I “defeat” my nightmares it seems like they stop for a while
