my dreams are on a monstrous streak, the worst they’ve ever been: i am eaten alive by some cross between a coyote and a bobcat, i am sexually assaulted, i am on either end of breakups and betrayals, and so on.
"maybe the changes that i think are improvements will merely be different and not better?" i think this all the time and lately have been reminding myself that even if it is just different and not better, at least i will know!
+1 on collecting data—value is subjective and if novelty is what you seek then i think that’s what you need. some things are only valuable in hindsight (graduation sucks) but that’s okay
Do you sleep alone or with a partner? Do you ever have these nightmares when sleeping with someone else? I think the presence of another person has successfully staved off all nightmares in my experience, but that only works if another person is readily available. I’ve recently started sleeping with a small potted tree as a sort of prophylactic bedfellow. Plants have a calming effect and maybe that works in dreams. You could try it. I’ve also heard benzos work well.
