Triggering (Abuse): Nightmares seem real

[WhisperingSilence]

Basically I finished my therapy with RC and since I've like been having really intense nightmares that seem very very real, like I will have this dream/nightmare when I'm telling my mum about P etc and she will be like saying to me I already know , I've known for ages, and then she will get cross with me (P was someone who our family new because of P's job) and then I will wake up.
It's been happening like on and off for about a week now and at times it's leaving me wondering if the nightmare/dream was just that or if it really happened but at the same time I can't just like ask my mum if you get what I mean as she doesn't know what P did(well as far as I know she doesn't ) I don't know if that like makes any sense?
I can't go back to my counsellor through RC as she's left which is why my therapy with them finished. I'm on a waiting list for trauma therapy but the list is like really long so I'm just sort of trying to like make sense of things the best I can if that makes sense at all ?

I don't really know what to do.

It can be really terrifying when nightmares seem real. I've had quite a few of them lately as well. Personally, I find having a dreamcatcher above my bed really helps. You're able to create your own or buy one for fairly cheap.

There's actually times when I said something to my boyfriend while awake because it felt real, turns out it was just a dream.

Yeah it is, the dreams can like seem so real even down to the conversations in the dreams etc, I've like had dreams in the past like the ones I'm having now but these feel different, I do have a few dream catchers about my bed I have 4 I think. I might try putting a crystal under my pillow as crystals are like supposed to help protect against bad dream etc too, I sort of know they've got more intense because of therapy etc ending.
