Nightmares can be sometimes be caused by your body being anxious or active before bed, if you go to sleep right after activity it can cause bad dreams. Try calming yourself down before sleeping by reading a book. If this is not the case, maybe you should consider other causing to these dreams. Finding the cause can often provide a solution.

That's normal, sometimes we all have nightmares, maybe you can try to sleep thinking in beautiful things or driking hot milk or listening to sweet music before sleeping :)

Try having a tea (with no caffeine) before going to bed and playing some quiet music. Try to be warm and adopt a relaxed position.

You can stop having nightmares when you have conquered all of your fears, imperfections and worries. AKA when you have turned into a perfect human.

Maybe try listening to calming music before you go to bed and change your routine. If all else fails it is best to seek medical attention.

I have read in several studies that sleeping in super cold room and not feeling warm has been correlated to cause nightmares. Try changing the temperature to see if that helps.

I used to have nightmares a lot, mainly about giant spiders (thanks Harrry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets) and what really heped me more than anything else was performing meditation right before I slept. I would just put an online guide on and then follow that, it only took around 20 minutes or so. Recently, I haven't been meditating, yet despite that I haven't had a single nightmare. Other than that, I'd recommend trying to get to sleep at a reasonable time and having herbal tea before you go to bed.

Nightmares are sometimes related with bad eating habits. Or maybe it just means you had an stressful day, or you are afraid or concerned about something. Find out what it is and try to solve it
