How do I stop having nightmares?

Okay so I always have weird dreams, so what. But recently, I've been having either really scary or really disturbing dreams, and they usually make me wake up in the middle of the night, then I can't go back to sleep. I don't watch horror movies or play video games or anything, these bad dreams just happen. Is there anything I can do before I go to bed that helps?

Thanks

Well if you have a boyfriend talk to him before you go to sleep that what I do me and my boyfriend usually talk every night before I go to sleep and he sweet talks me and it works I go to sleep dreaming of him so try it

Haha sorry I don't have a boyfriend. Anything else I can try?

It might seem weird, and you might not believe in it but me and my friend both bought these gem stones when we were on holiday- one of them was suposed to help you sleep so we both tried it and it really did work. My friend stoped having dreams completley. I've forgoten what the stone was called.. but I know it was green?If I find out what its called ill comment back.

Um.. I would consider thinking happy thoughts, and watching happy things before bed.. :] it always works!

I think all this is because something migh be bothering you so maybe fixing whatever it is...agree wit all da pplz lolz
