Scary Images Before Sleep. Please Help!

That is interesting. I don't know for sure but it could possibly be your brain trying to trick you into fantasizing about what arouses you and thus attempting to get you to relapse. Your brain wants that dopamine hit and you aren't letting it have it. So it is trying other methods. Like I said I don't know if this is the case but could be. Especially, since you mentioned that you would rather have images or fantasies going through your mind. This could actually be a good sign that your reboot is working. I hope this helps. Stay strong and don't give in!

 

Same here! Violent random thoughts. Like wtf brain, this ain't me and what are you trying to say.

 

I have a little experience with nightmares and waking nightmares before I go to sleep, I have seen and heard many things. In my experience it has to do with repressed psyche. And trying to control it only makes it worse. Tell me one thing, are you generally afraid of night/dark. Do you ever get conscious in the middle of the night or you remain in a daze nonetheless, even if not sound asleep? If you do wake up, in like ever, doesn't have to be often, do you feel the calm and peace of the night or do you feel very negative?

 

Based on your reply I don't think you have what I had. I was basically very tense and tight during night and I saw/heard things that weren't there for quite a long time. The most noteworthy thing was how I never acknowledged even the slightest existence of these things beyond normal, that's what repression is.. Once it became impossible to ignore I spiralled down but as a consequence emotions and thoughts got sorted and made changes to life and the nights automatically became normal. I was basically zero self conscious but you don't seem to be like that so I guess it's unlikely it's repression with you.
I hope you find your way ahead.
