I find it helpful to talk about the nightmare with someone I trust. Sharing the experience can lighten the emotional load and make it feel less scary.

Sometimes, I’ll listen to calming music or read a light book to help shift my mood after a nightmare. It’s a nice distraction!

Creating a cozy environment helps too. I like to keep a comforting item nearby, like a soft blanket or stuffed animal, to soothe myself.
