I am 25 years old. I am not getting a sound sleep from some months. So much dreams and some time when I wake up from dream, I feel so frighten so afraid. And my mind think that its real all. I feel awkward some much. Sometime I take medicine of sleep (prozolam .5) alprazolam tablet. I'm not feeling well please tell me what to do? I mentally feel so bad.

Dear Prakash, Sleep disturbances are common in depression and other mental disorders. There are other causes for sleep disturbances. You can get sleep study done to diagnose your problem. It will be done by overnight stay in the sleep lab with all sorts of wires connected with you. One diagnosed, you will get proper treatment. Please do NOT use alprazolam. At your age, you may become dependent on it and go on increasing the dose with no further benefit. Dreams are a part of sleep. There is nothing to worry about. Let all your fears go in the dreams so that your day time will be better.
