I admit this concern seems strange even to me if I haven't had these dreams so frequently. I will appreciate it if you have more suggestions.

Personally I dont find it strange at all. I used to wake up from a night terror and still thought it was true, still happening....Some times I would just get up turn on lights , figure out what day it was, time, were am I, its goes on and on!
I still have nightmares from years ago that I remember!...That is one hell of a nightmare if you remember it for years!
When you say hurting yourself? Bruised, cut? any signs of injury? If not thats how intense they can be.....Its awful and I understand...I could wake up screaming in pain, or drenched in sweat, so get up and wake up, and the pain wasnt there.....
I now medicate with heavy Indicas (legaly) it has been a blessing, over and over....It was my shrink that pushed me in that direction as she had a few patients it was working well for...It works great for me, and I dont care about long term effects....Going on so long, unhappy, sleepless was killing me! I enjoy my peace now, and I actually look forward to going to bed and sleeping
