    @PetiteQuark Yes I do but they don't always reflect how it happened in real life but there are normally quite a few similarities.

    My nightmares tend to surround complex trauma so it's not necessarily reflective of one "big" event but many distressing events over an extended period of time

    Yes, I do. Like @lunarcat522 said, my nightmares aren’t exactly how it happened but similar.

    @PetiteQuark So sorry you experience these, it's awful. I mostly get ones where I'm screamed at by teachers.

    Hope it's comforting to know you're not alone <3

    Im so sorry that you get nightmares. Thankfully theyre just nightmares. When I was in year 10, I moved schools for a few months, the school i went to for year 10 was horribly strict. I got screamed at for wearing grey trousers (my old school uniform) and for waiting outside class because I was too early i cried, the teachers there were horrible authoritarian and strict so i understand how its like.
