Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
This is a type of parasomnia. It will require intensive psychotherapy. Psychodynamic psychotherapy will be effective in dealing with the dreams. Among the medications, you may try escitalopram and it will help if there is an underlying depression. Further trazodone will also help to improve the sleep architecture.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
