You could talk to a doctor about prazosin. It’s a blood pressure drug that stops dreams for some unknown reason. I have PTSD nightmares and will take it for a week or so when they crop up again. Just something to consider
Plus one for prazosin. I have a family member with PTSD nightmares. Prazosin has made them able to actually sleep for the first time in their adult life.
I took a BP medicine called Clonidine for PTSD nightmares as well. I wonder what it is about them that help.
My biggest issue was having already naturally low BP, so couldn’t take it at the dose they wanted. Luckily, it still worked. Just had to go in frequently to have my pressure checked.
I appreciate your suggestion. I have some of the same issues as a few other commenters. I have low blood pressure from an autoimmune issue which contraindicates BP drugs. I’ve tried a lot of things, but I have a sensitive system and the side effects tend to be worse than the dream.

Hmm. I have low BP and my physician said they didn’t recommend it. Maybe I’ll see if a low dose would work. I can check my BP at home 🤞
The going in part was for their records. Apparently me checking at home wasn’t official enough for them.
Are you chronically dehydrated?
Not at all. Just runs in the family.
