So sorry that all of you are going through this, I had my first one I remember at age 4, after we had been in a tornado and things were torn up everywhere. Then in my dreams the tornado chased me and destroyed everything I loved. The got progressively worse as physical and verbal abuse were heaped into the mix, then I was molested by a stranger at age 7 and the running man dreams started. Things only got worse until the put me on Prozac, oh my god no dreams at all for over a year. But then they started creeping back in more and more often, finally I began treatment with a new psychiatrist this year and he put me on Probasin which they use at the VA for PTSD and nightmares, works great, no side effects, no hangover.
