Last year I was having deep nightmares, I woke up several hours of the night dreanched in sweat. My dreams involved one of my deepest fears of being alone, the dreams scared me and I didn't want to sleep. In my personal experience I found that I was paranoid all the time, scared that I'd lose the people I love that I'd be left alone and have nobody. The reason I choose this topic is because I have experienced one of the most terrifying tortures of my nightmares. Although they do not come as often as they once had, I still wonder what is the point of a dark dream? Is it to scare you, or give you a sense of bravery so you can face these fears in reality? The problem is no one can actually prove that a nightmare is torturing you. Some say it's stress related and dark dreams are the effect of deep depression and anxiety, but what if the dark dreams is one of the causes of stress? What if they're the reasoning behind your depression, anxiety and paranoia? There has to be a reason behind dark dreams.
