Need help! Nightmares give me stress.

[tarx l00ter]

See, my problem is that I already have enough stress off my upcoming exams etc. Now I get these dreams that take like 7 hours. I dream i'm at school, everything is normal etc, until something happens really bad. Because i'm almost 24/7 at school (Real and in dreams) I really can't stay focused etc, and when i'm in a dream I dont know what's real and what's fake. Like this time I dreamed I killed someone in my school, and I went to sleep that night (In my dream), so when I woke up I thought everything had really happened, and I was afraid of going to school etc,

(This also happens with other stuff, not just school)

Please, can someone advice me on what I should do?

Do you eat cheese before going to bed? As that can produce nightmares. Also, everyone has nightmares once in a while. So, they may just drift away somewhere else soon enough.

Don't watch Horror movies,and don't be afraid of school,it's just a test!

Well in this case it seems it cannot be helped.

Recent research on dreaming suggests that dreams not only manifest your fears/inhibitions/etc. but also act as a subconscious way to solve problems. School is obviously a stress factor in your life and it is causing your subconscious mind to dwell on the same stress in an effort to overcome it. Shredderbeams' advice may sound sarcastic, but I believe its the only and best thing you can do tbh.

They don't work. At all. Dreams are the brain processing information, not random little clouds floating around like in Roald Dahl's works. Is a net decorated with feathers and other such things going to reach into your head and interfere with the chemical and electrical workings of your brain? Methinks not.
