Sleep has an important role in our lives for maintaining good health. If the ability to sleep becomes disturbed, our health and emotional balance are affected resulting in physical fatigue, irritability and increased susceptibility to illness. The mechanism which controls sleep is both "reactive" to our desire to sleep and "responsive" to our body's need for sleep. If we send the appropriate instructions to our subconscious mind it will begin to shut down our bodily functions and prepare us for sleep.

Intense emotion expressed as anger, anxiety, guilt or depression is enough to disturb the mechanism for controlling sleep, resulting in sleeplessness. Insomnia can invariably be traced back to either a sudden emotional trauma or sustained emotional stress.

Can you encourage your cousin to join the site and make a profile?  Truly, it's a lot easier to help someone without the "middle man" per se.  It's so nice that you're worried for her.  Do you think she would be willing to share here?

Wow your cousin is a emotionally attached girl in ways she has not discovered in her self yet   But she will , mean while you sound that your her support so it might be hard but you need to start random chats with her about feelings that might relate to these dreams but not so obvious that she sences your meaning a dream but in a way she soo. Finds her self releasing these emotions that have probably been a past experience she has had that was not to easy to deal with so take your time in deciding when and where nightmares so real as hers qiete often are

Your cousin should see a Dr to find out why she's having the headaches and terrible dreams.
