They plague psychotic people so much that many fear going to sleep like a child that has watched a scary movie. The only difference is that the movie was played by your mind. Maybe at least awareness that this is a common problem will provide patients some relief. Not being alone is one of the most comforting feelings there is.
Who else has had psychotic nightmares?
I have this issue as well, I take Prazosin to help control my CPTSD and psychosis nightmares. It seems to work quite well but I'm sure my anti psychotic also works well to contain them. They where pretty distressing and I would either wake up very tired or wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back asleep. I had recurring ones too, where the themes where the same and they where really spooky. Things like living in a simulation, falling out of a plane, being stranded at sea etc.
