Hi
I understand your concern.
Usually nightmare is coming in deep sleep and we are not able to remember it.
Most of the time no treatment require.
But if it is troublesome or affect your sleep and daily activity.
This condition can be treated by low dose of benzodiazapine preferably lorazepam 1 mg.
But only if your sleep is so disturb and that interfere in daily routine.
Otherwise most of the time it will decrease by time or no treatment is necessary.
Thank you.
Take care.
