Strategies for deep sleep when you have insomnia

All of the strange dreams probably came to me from ages 10 to 17

I remember having strange dreams but mostly when I was growing up, not now that I’m older. All of the strange dreams probably came to me from ages 10 to 17, something like that.

I remember as a youth having so many strange dreams, I would tell people, and most of the time people would actually recount similar experiences in their dreams.

One that comes to mind, is a dream that I was in the car, but nobody was driving it, and it was leaving my house and taking off. It was extremely scary and I don’t remember much after leaving the house.

Another one as a child was a very strange dream involving floating transparent monsters floating through the bathroom mirror. All I remember about that one was being extremely young.

Another weird dream that comes to mind was a dream where people I knew would have all of their eyes messed up or crossed, and it panicked me. Another one that’s happened multiple times is one where my father is showing up in two places in the house and seemingly two people, and it turns into a twilight zone type of panic.

Sorry to keep only mentioning negative stories, all these seem to be nightmares, but for some reason those types of dreams are the most memorable to me, not some kind of nice dream.

Speaking of horrifying memorable dreams I can think of another one where I was running from Zombies throughout my city, and trying to avoid them at every turn, looking for some kind of mystical runes.

Everyone of these dreams were probably all reactions to the variety of television, music, and movies I was being exposed to in the 80′s, we all know the media, especially horror, was actually kind of extreme back then.
