Scream — What if this is all Sidney's trauma nightmare?

Mental Health is Horrifying

Have you ever been in the middle of experiencing something so strange, or so cruel or surreal that you think to yourself – I have to be in some kind of nightmare? Well, what if you were? What if it was “all one great big movie”... uhh I mean nightmare?

What if Scream is actually Sidney Prescott’s trauma nightmare? Let’s explore that theory and look at how Scream (1996) portrays the formation of trauma and how it can manifest into nightmares.

Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.
