i frequently have bad dreams that i can't breath. at night, when i close my eyes to sleep, i suddenly can't breath, i can't move my body so i struggle and fight to wake up.. and i did so....... i feel like trying to be killed by someone in my dreams. i don't know how will i able to eliminate this kind of dreams. i am really serious when i struggle thinking that if i would not fight, i cannot wake up... what will be the best solution for this..?

Since I can't remember, whenever I have a nightmare and can't seem to move or wake up, i just wiggle my toes and just keep on wiggling until I could wake up. So far it has proven very effective for me. However, nothing beats the prayer that my Grandmother taught me since I was a child. I also taught my children the prayer to keep bad dreams away. As an adult, I still believe it because in the end, it is still up to God whether we get to wake up or not.
