If you have the money some of these would help

I can only sleep when I have noise playing, usually let's plays. Before I started meds, the things that helped me best with nightmares was when I woke up I had a dim light on and something to calm me down and ground myself. I like sour candies when I wake up with panic attacks.

I literally just went through this with my psychiatrist. He placed me on a medication that’s suppose to help with vivid dreams and such but you have to watch your blood pressure very closely. A lot of things trigger mine and thankfully with this it hasn’t.

I know for my vivid nightmares, I take 5 HTP (serotonin supplements) and it has definitely stopped them from happening most of the time. I went from a vivid nightmare almost every night to one every few weeks (probably from stress)

I know some apps can help, like Rootd, and it helps with sleep, panic attacks, anxiety and breathing. Its really nice of you want to listen to something you can imagine. Okay, scratch that, I knew one app. Hope it helps.

When you can get to a doc, maybe ask about trazodone. It really helps me get through the night without intense dreams. I noticed in myself that if I ate a full meal, or sugary food/drink, or used a stimulant like caffeine or a sativa strain of cannabis before bed, I was more likely to have nightmares and intense dreams.

My pcp prescribed me Prazosin, something you can inquire yours about

I have a medical marijuana card for pain but it honestly helps sooooo much with sleep too! It helps me fall and stay asleep, and I either don’t have or don’t remember my nightmares when I use it right before bed! If you can’t get THC I really recommend trying CBN, that one doesn’t help so much with falling asleep but it helps you stay asleep once you get there!
