Really bad dreams...

Ok, this is probably a really stupid question, but..

Does anyone have anything that they do when they have "bad" dreams? Last night I couldn't sleep too well because I was having a series of horrible dreams and I was wondering if anyone has tried anything to put their mind at ease ? (I tried not going back to sleep, but within a short period of time I had ended up closing my eyes again and falling asleep

)

If you are ever thinking of travelling to Parts of the world such as Asia and you need to take a course of anti malarial tablets watch out!!! THEY give you the single handedly most FREAKY dreams....... Thats the only thing I hate about travel is the blasted effect of those tablets, you dread going to sleep at times the dreams get that bad!

If it's that bad of a dream, I'll turn the tv on sleep timer and fall back asleep after having watched it for a while. When I was with Will I had a bad dream and simply rolled over closer to him (guys are good for that). Most of the time if I've had a bad dream I don't do anything. A lot of the time I'll wake up to end the dream but not realize anything is wrong and just close my eyes and fall asleep again.

I have terrible dreams about tornados, family members dying, people chasing me...etc.

Bad Dreams: I take a shower.
Good Dreams: I take a shower.

kevlar-Bad Dreams: I take a shower. Good Dreams: I take a shower. LOL!

The sleep timer is good for me. I'll put it on a channel like History or the animal channel because the people are talking so soft, almost like a whisper. I have found if the last thing I watch before sleep is comedy, I rarely have a bad dream.
There are ways you can learn to manipulate dreams, but some psychologists think that's unhealthy.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I had a bad dream. I don't even want to read what Hootie had to say b/c I am about to go to bed and don't need her bad dream on my mind.

This is true.

I had a recurring dream for years after college.

There was an English Lit final the next day, and I hadn't bought the book yet.

Actually, come to think of it, that was probably just a re-enforcement of something that actually happened.
