  I think dreams show is happening in our minds and lives, not true predictions of the future, generally speaking.

  Why do we have nightmares? Because reality has both good and bad, light and dark, in all things. You cannot always have ‘nice’ dreams any more than you can always have sunlight.

  That’s the best part about them, the wondering. Some really are precognitive, others are as poignant and vivid but not.

  We obviously did create it because that is what we watched the night before or willingly created it our own heads !!! It is because some things you dream are created in the future by using psychic powers that were given to us from are parents !!! They got it from generation to generation !!!Some people believe there is no such thing while others use it for money others use it for goodness of humanity and etc !!! Some dreams actually are psyhic !! To be honest I had a psychic dream that said “You ain’t gonna get married or have kids” The reason is because you are a Toronto Maple leafs fan !!!!!!! By the way you don’t need to have any more nightmares about Toronto winning the stanley cup !!!

  We dream both good and bad dreams for they are self-conscience of our beings and their reacting to the surrounding around us… whenever it is good and bad; it is what our aura (our body sheild) truely feels… hat is what I think….

  We all dream of nightmares when we are subconscious. Also, at the back of our mind, something is bothering us and that sometimes are reminded in our dream;like, ‘Oh no, first day of school is tomorrow!’ then, you start dreaming about the first day of school, like you forgot something or someone is teasing you. So to sum it all up, the reason why we have nightmares is because something in the back of our minds are bothering us or the person who dreams the nightmare, is thinking about it really hard. It can sometimes go into the future but that is rare, when you have a certain type of feelings. To prevent nightmares just think about happy thought, happy times, and/or maybe your girlfriend or boyfriend. Most important is how we’re feeling as of right now and from the past. Only you can clear some of your disturbing thoughts, and prevent bad things from happening. Otherwise, nightmares begins. Always think of happy thoughts. Hope this helps you!!!

  I love this question…..

  Dreams or even nightmare’s is the body’s way of dealing with your inner self..Sometimes our dreams are a mixture of an entire day here and there…..or even an inner fear you may have and again your mind is a very powerful thing…so powerful…that someone can go through trauma and years later….out of nowhere….the brain just decides..ok….let’s deal with this! If nightmare’s get to the point where they are regular and affect you….on a regular basis..then perhaps talking about it would help with a professional! And NO it doesn’t mean you’re crazy…you’re just taking care of YOU! Also, there’s a great book…about understanding your dreams…..go to Barnes & Noble…you might enjoy it! Good luck ~

  No you cannot predict thru a dream, but usually requires a little common sense. I have investigated this over the years and this is what I found. If you dream about an accident, then u need to use more caution in your life, it’s a warning. If you dream of death it usually means a birth or some good sign. If you dream of being cold & late dinner, you have much on your mind that requires your attention. It’s pretty basic, and there’s lots of books out there. Don’t worry, we all dream!

  Definition

  A nightmare is a dream occurring during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that results in feelings of inescapable terror, fear or extreme anxiety. This phenomenon tends to occur in the latter part of the night and oftentimes awakens the sleeper, who is likely to recall the content of the dream. Most nightmares may be a normal reaction to stress, and some clinicians believe they aid people in working through traumatic events.

  Frequent occurrence of nightmares becomes a disorder when it impairs social, occupational and other important areas of functioning. At this point, it may be referred to as Nightmare Disorder (formerly Dream Anxiety Disorder) or “repeated nightmares.” “Repeated nightmares” is defined more specifically as a series of nightmares with a recurring theme. Nightmares usually begin in childhood before age 10 and are considered normal unless they significantly interfere with sleep, development or psychosocial development. They tend to be more common in girls than boys, and they may continue into adulthood. Adult nightmares are often associated with outside stressors or exist alongside another mental disorder. Nightmares might be associated with anxiety and trauma.

  A closer look at dreaming might help in understanding nightmares.

  Dreaming and REM Sleep

  We typically spend more than two hours each night dreaming. Scientists do not know much about how or why we dream. Sigmund Freud, a major influence in psychology, believed dreaming was a “safety valve” for unconscious desires. Only after 1953, when researchers first described REM in sleeping infants, did scientists begin studying sleeping and dreaming carefully. They soon discovered that the strange, illogical experiences we call dreams almost always occur during the REM part of sleep. While most mammals and birds show signs of REM sleep, reptiles and other cold-blooded animals do not.

  REM sleep begins with signals from the pons, an area at the base of the brain. These signals travel to a region called the thalamus, which relays them to the cerebral cortex—the outer layer of the brain responsible for learning, thinking and organizing information. The pons sends signals that shut off neurons in the spinal cord, causing temporary paralysis of limb muscles. If something interferes with this paralysis, people will begin to physically act out their dreams—a rare, dangerous problem called REM sleep behavior disorder. For example, a person dreaming about a baseball game may run into furniture or inadvertently strike a person sleeping nearby while trying to catch a ball in the dream.

  REM sleep stimulates the brain regions used in learning, which may be important for normal brain development during infancy. This would explain why infants spend much more time in REM sleep than adults. Like deep sleep, REM sleep is associated with increased production of proteins. One study determined that REM sleep affects learning certain mental skills. People taught a skill and then deprived of non-REM sleep were able to recall what they had learned after sleeping, while people deprived of REM sleep were not.

  Some scientists believe dreams are the cortex’s attempt to find meaning in the random signals received during REM sleep. The cortex is the part of the brain that interprets and organizes information from the environment during consciousness. One theory suggests that, given random signals from the pons during REM sleep, the cortex, attempting to interpret these signals, creates a “story” out of fragmented brain activity.

  Symptoms

  Criteria for Nightmare Disorder

  Repeatedly wakes up with detailed recollection of long, frightening dreams centering around threats to survival, security or self-esteem, usually occurring in the second half of sleep or nap period.
  Becomes oriented and alert instantly upon awakening.
  Results in distress or impairment of occupational, social or other important areas of functioning.
  Symptoms are not caused by general medical condition or by use of medications or other substances.
  Nightmares tend to be more common among children and become less frequent toward adulthood. Nevertheless, about 50 percent of adults experience occasional nightmares, women more often than men, and do not require any treatment. Eating just prior to going to bed, which raises the body’s metabolism and brain activity, may cause an increase in nightmares. Approximately 1 percent of adults will experience repeated nightmares and should seek help.

  Causes

  Anxiety or stress is the most common: In 60 percent of cases, a major life event precedes the onset of nightmares
  Illness with a fever
  Death of a loved one (bereavement)
  Adverse reaction to or side effect of a drug
  Recent withdrawal from a drug such as sleeping pills
  Effect of alcohol or excessive alcohol consumption
  Abrupt alcohol withdrawal
  Breathing disorder in sleep (sleep apnea)
  Sleep disorders (narcolepsy, sleep terror disorder)
  Inherited tendency toward nightmares

  Treatment

  If you are experiencing severe stress, you should seek out the support of friends and relatives. Talking about what is on your mind can go a long way. It is also recommended that you follow a regular fitness routine, including aerobic exercise if possible. You will find yourself able to fall asleep faster, having a deeper sleep and waking up feeling more refreshed. Learn techniques to reduce muscle tension (relaxation therapy), which will also help lessen anxiety.

  Avoid long-term use of tranquilizers, and avoid caffeine and other stimulants.

  If your nightmares started shortly after beginning a new medication, contact your health-care provider. He or she will advise you on discontinuing that medication if necessary and recommend an alternative.

  For nightmares resulting from the effects of “street drugs” or persistent alcohol use, seek counsel on discontinuing usage. Alcoholics Anonymous, for example, might suggest a safe way for you to stop drinking. You can also attend their regularly scheduled meetings. In addition, look at your lifestyle—friends, work and family—to rid yourself of factors that encourage substance abuse.

  Nightmares are usually morsels of undigested beef. Wake up, have a drink of water, fluff your pillow, and tomarrow will be another wonderful day.

  A person’s life is full of dreams. Dream can be about one’s ambition which he gets fulfilled with the passage of time thru his own hard work, intelligence, good planning and with the blessings of Almighty. Another is day dreaming which is really not a good habit and can be controlled with one’s will power. But what about the dreams a person experiences during sleep. Do they hv effect in our real life? What do they mean? What is their interpretation? The person asks to his friends, elders and seniors in his social circle. Sometimes he gets satisfactory reply and sometimes not. These days Internet is a rich source of information. So one does not need to depend on others for one’s dream interpretation. The Yahansmaniac Community member suggests the following.
