I know that what I’m about to say may sound a little bit strange, but I’ve been suffering from nightmares that I don’t remember having.

Since 2014 my parents have told me that I’m frequently suffering from nightmares, and when I’m asked about why I’m shouting in my sleep.

I can never remember why.

At first, they thought it was linked to the antidepressant called Prozac which I was taking; however, I have been taking Venlafaxine and Amitryptilin since May 2015, and I’m still shouting in my sleep.

Then we thought it was to do with certain times of the month and have since found out that it isn’t that either.

I tend to shout in my sleep whenever I have appointments coming up, such as the doctors or any event where I have to leave the house.

I try and stay awake as late as possible; sometimes, I even tweet in my sleep as I‘m afraid of losing followers because my dream is to be a social media influencer.

I hate sleeping because I get nightmares, but I have no idea what the nightmares are about, it’s like something is freezing them after I’ve had them.

Why is this happening to me? Am I crazy? It’s not something I can talk about because people will think I’m weirder than they already do and it’s not the norm to have nightmares, especially ones you can’t remember having.

I’m also half awake when having them, according to my mum, she said that I went to shout something out and she called me, and I answered her usually, despite being asleep.

I’ve been told that most of the time I’m shouting “No”, so I’m guessing the nightmares are something I’m either afraid of or I’m arguing about something that I disagree with.

If you or one of your loved ones is suffering from nightmares, especially nightmares they don’t remember, encourage them to talk to a doctor or Psychologist.
