What Is The Solution For Frequent Horrible Nightmares?

I have been having horrible nightmares very frequently for a few months now. but I have suffered on and off throughout my life. I remember these dreams in great detail. and awake feeling very fearful and i usually stay that way sometimes for days. Sometimes i cannot even go outside after dark. I also have episodes where i know i am awake and i can hear everything going on around me but i cannot move or open my eyes for quite sometimes. Why?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Nightmare is usually related to unconscious mind and content in night mare shows the response of our mind. If you have any stress, then that would show in your dream. In that case, either you can try some relaxation exercise or some low dose benzodiazepine to get sound sleep. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
