3. Sorry to hear about the bad dreams

While my anxiety doesn't often follow me into my dreams, it often makes me have trouble falling asleep because I can't switch my mind off. This podcast has really helped me.https://www.nothingmuchhappens.com/ The lady who writes and records the stories gives a really good explanation of why it works, and seems like a genuinely caring person. I don't know if it will help with the dreams but you might want to try it.
