Nightmares are dreams occurring during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that bring out feelings of strong, inescapable fear, terror, distress, or extreme anxiety, usually awakening the sleeper.  Dreamers awaken from nightmares because of the extreme intensity of emotions experienced within it.

Although new evidence does exists to support the idea that even the most unpleasant of dreams do not necessarily awaken the sleeper, a nightmare is still currently defined as a disturbing dream in which the unpleasant visual imagery and/or emotions awaken the sleeper. A bad dream is a disturbing dream, which, though being unpleasant, does not cause the dreamer to wake up.

Several reports have also shown that although fear is the most common psychological emotion in disturbing dreams, these dreams can also contain a variety of other unpleasant emotions such as anger, sadness, and frustration

Early views on nightmares by Cayce and Jung centered on the idea that nightmares involved the visitations of monsters, demons, ghosts, or other evil spirits.  It was believed for Centuries that those who experienced nightmares were cursed and doomed to experience a life of torture.  "The belief in spirits literally took its origin in the Nightmare." (Jones, 1931)  It was this misunderstanding which caused many who suffered from chronic nightmares to live in exile.

Nightmares along with other dreams are healthy measures that our minds take in order to release stress, anxiety, and fear.  It is through nightmares that our subconscious and concious minds communicate.  There are three pure types of dreams, subjective, physical and spiritual. They relate to the past, present and future. Many researchers believe, that some nightmares possess an element of prophecy and warning. Through good interpretation of these dreams the "dreamer" has the power to achieve complete understanding.

Remember, your mind creates these dreams and your mind also has the power to control their conclusions.
