All of them is a bit of an exaggeration but like 80% of my dreams are nightmares, really vivid ones, it's been happening for about 9 years now and I'm very tired of it, I always wake up very jumpy and sometimes disoriented for a few seconds, is kinda scary to even sleep because I know I'll probably have awful dreams so I avoid it as much as possible but the problem is that I'm always tried, is there any way to stop it?

Also I'm not sure if it has to do with anything but it's almost always animal related, which is weird because im not scared of animals, just bugs and fish, but I rarely see those if ever.

Thanks in advance for any help.
