I don’t have much in terms of advise, I never felt the need to research this—I just assumed there must be something. I have a mild nightmare maybe once every couple of months and almost never something more serious.
I have anecdotal evidence that things which disturb your sleep (e.g. coffee or too much salt affecting blood pressure, uncomfortable pillow) cause nightmares. There are also obvious things like not watching horror movies, etc.
I find lucid dreams to be effective “against” nightmares (for 10+ years already).
AMA if you want
Have you tried other techniques to deal with nightmares?
I don’t think so (?)
There are physical things that make me have more nightmares, like being too hot, or needing to pee
Sounds like I might be missing something obvious?
