Sleeping worse than not sleeping.

I've shared my sleeping problems here before.

Today or should I say tonight, I woke up at 3am, totally exhausted from trying to fall asleep.  In fact I was sleeping, but I was having a nightmare that I was awake and trying to sleep 

Now it's 4am and I'm afraid to sleep.

  • Even if I manage to get to sleep quick, I'll always have nightmares that disturb me. Often they are very graphic and involve me being publicly humiliated, maimed, or killed. I'd love any advice on how to stop dreams entirely. It seems so unfair that I put a lot of work into getting to sleep and it's just as, if not more, horrifying than being awake.
