hello,
i am new to this forum and have had PTSD for a few years. i find that the symptoms shift over time, and right now i am having some really intense nightmares, sometimes i scream or cry in my sleep, and i wake up feeling as though i was in a war. often i dream about mass disasters like hurricanes, but also twice lately i have had a dream where i am upside down, sliding through a tight tunnel or down a long endless escalator. it leaves me feeling helpless, even though in my waking life i am doing a lot to try to deal with my panic and anxiety symptoms. does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts about this? i wonder if i should see this as a good sign, that i am working through things, but mostly in my dreams i am being chased or hunted and i rarely escape...thanks a lot....
