Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, recurring nightmares can happen, especially during stressful periods or after upsetting experiences. If they’re regularly disrupting your sleep or making it hard to function during the day, it’s worth talking with a healthcare professional.

Nightmares can come in clusters, and stress, changes in your sleep routine, upsetting experiences, or some medications can contribute. Lots of people have recurring nightmares at some point; it doesn’t automatically mean anything is wrong with you.

If they’re happening often, waking you up repeatedly, or leaving you anxious and exhausted during the day, consider checking in with a healthcare professional. You don’t have to wait until they feel unbearable to ask for help.
