Eagle3, I'm pretty sure that yes your dreams may likely stop once you've dealt with it all. I say this because, I haven't dealt with it all and yet unless I'm actively confronting my trauma, I don't have nightmares anymore.

Every night use I use to have horrible, terrible nightmares. I got so use to them that when they stopped almost entirely for years, I missed them. I was so active and busy days with my new twins that I was falling asleep evenings and waking normally not even remembering I had dreamed anything. Days, I had little to no time to connect with my personal feelings and self, that I actually began missing my horrid dreams because at least they either revealed or invited my true self and story. Now unless I'm actively reading about my trauma's I'm simply never having nightmares. There is one exception and that's the nicotine patch gives me nightmares. And, oh yeah, I certainly didn't have to be needing and taking medicines to have nightmares, but when I did my dreams were sometimes at their wickedest.

And also, who really knows if you're not overlooking a trigger, it's possible to do, as I use to watch every lifetime movie about violence, betrayal, murder ect. and every Law and Order SPD and some of my other favorites were, News, Forensics and Crime scene invest., America's most wanted and on and on....LOL And, can you believe it, I never put 2 and 2 together to see where what I was viewing was triggering me.

Sorry, Eagle3, but all I can give is some support, by just letting you know you're certainly not alone.
