I've had really horrific dreams every night since I was roughly seven years old. They were so bad that they kept me up. The specifics varied, but they were always some horror movie shit -- mutilation, ghosts, dead things walking, being hunted by lovecraftian monsters, whatever -- and it always irked me. By the time I was around fifteen I couldn't sleep at night; the nightmares would only stop if I slept during the day. It destroyed my ability to perform in school.
Now I'm in my late twenties. I still have the dreams, but they no longer really scare me. Being hunted, torn apart, it's become passe to me. I'm no longer really terrified by the thought. At worst, sometimes, I get creeped out about the idea right before I go to sleep.
Like tonight. Tonight I feel creeped out. Can /x/ offer any explanation at all?

This is probably linked to a certain trigger or past experiance are there certain things you do at night or day that only affect you at night?

Well, it usually happens when I think about the dreams.
That said, why would one have nightmares every night their whole life starting at such a young age? Why would they become boring, aside fro desensitization?

Face your "monsters". Ask them what they want.

I have. Some of my dreams, the entities aren't even hostile. They're just scary.
Their answers vary.

Try to remember you are dreaming. If you can remember try to like punch them or something. Or learn to lucid dream and control your dreams. Also ask them why they do what they do or what happened to them

I'm kind of the same way, though it's not as severe since most of my dreams are lucid and I'm usually the one in control.
Does it get worse when you're stressed? What are your experiences with sleep paralysis?

I experience sleep paralysis once a week on average. It does get worse with stress but not enough to matter; by now I'm still bored with my nightmares even while I'm in them.

This started when I was seven. I never took MDMA and only did a few times in my early twenties. It had no effect.
