I have nightmares all the time. - Help.com

I used to have the same nightmare when I was a child. It sounds so stupid now that I am an adult but I would wake up scared and freaked out. There was a green man with blue hair chasing me through a crooked house. I haven’t had that dream for quiet sometime. Now I just dream of evil. They really don’t make sense while I am awake but while i’m dreaming, they make perfect sense. I don’t need to write them down because ever since I was a little girl, I am able to remember all the dreams I have. Sometimes I have 3 or 4 dreams a night and I wake up after every single one and my brain processes them like an episode or something. I get it from my mom because she remembers her dreams as well. I tried doing the dream interpreting but I just don’t believe it. A lot of that stuff doesn’t pertain to me. Maybe it is some of my fears mainfesting itself into my dreams. I don’t think I have had any trauma that force these dreams to present themselves. Here is a part of a paper I wrote for one of my psychology classes:

At a very young age I began to recall very vivid and sometimes strange dreams. I would be able to feel the coldness of the ice cold drink that was in my hand and the warmth of the sun on my skin. When I was 13 years old, I had my very first kiss was in a dream. I say this because it felt so real-as I later on that year found out.
I have always believed that dreams hold some kind of secrets that may or may not be a glimpse of a deeper level of understanding. Although many of my dreams may have the perception of reality, none have yet to intersect with actual reality. I do however wake up from nightmares on occasion freighted and perplexed. My nightmare aftershock lasts no longer than a few minutes and I quickly drift back into another dream. The most frequent occurrence on many of my nightmares is paralysis accompanied by a level of semi-consciousness.
A very particular dream has followed me throughout most of my life. I had a somewhat traumatic experience at age 5 with a very mean and racist middle aged mother of two children older than I was. The dream has no logical connection to that experience but that is when the dream presented itself and began to reoccur. I cannot seem to understand this dream while I am awake even though I cannot resist pondering it and trying to make sense of it. However it seems to make perfect sense when I am dreaming. My vivid and strange dreams occur almost every night. I usually experience at least two dreams a night that I remember. I like to recall them and wonder about the significance but never place too much emphasis on the meaning. I talk about them with my mother and we share our dream experiences on a daily basis.
I believe the fascinations with dreams are due to the mysteries that lie beneath them. Dreams occur in the deepest level of sleep that is imperative to our survival. At the time of dreams our brains are in REM sleep and our bodies are in complete rest yet our brains are very active. I think this brings the desires to explain the unknowns that are festering in our minds. The brain is with no question the most powerful and important muscle of not only humans beings but to any beings that have one. The fact that dreams cannot be explained at this point in time will only bring more questions until-if ever we can explain them
