People and experts alike have argued for centuries as to what dreams are and what they mean. I'm not sure myself. I have had dreams, like you, where I am in a bad situation but I somehow know I am in a dream. Its very weird. One of my recurring dreams is being somewhere very high and not being able to get down. Not afraid of heights either. Its strange.

What Exactly Is a Nightmare?
If you've ever had a nightmare, you're in good company. Almost everyone gets them once in a while - adults, as well as kids. A nightmare is a bad dream. It can may make you feel scared, anxious, or upset, but nightmares are not real and can't harm you.
While you sleep, your brain doesn't just turn off. It goes through several sleep stages, including REM, or Rapid Eye Movement, sleep. Why do they call it that? Because during this stage of sleep, your eyes move back and forth under your closed eyelids. During REM sleep, you have dreams and sometimes those dreams can be scary or upsetting.
About every 90 minutes your brain switches between non-REM sleep and REM sleep. The amount of time spent in REM sleep increases with each sleep cycle through the night. The longest periods of REM sleep occur towards morning. If you wake during this REM stage, it is easier for you to remember what you were dreaming about. That's why your most vivid dreams - and nightmares - occur in the early morning hours.

I beleive that dreams are a reflection of your subconscious. Your fears become realized, your hopes, desires etc. I have a fear of heights and I would dream that I am falling way down from like nowhere, and I would actually feel my stomach dropping in my sleep. Whew!! It feels so real, I know that I was dreaming thast b cause I fear heights.

Dreams are basically your subconsious trying to sort out the events of your past day, and reflecting on what you were thinking before you fell asleep. When you have nightmares, I believe something is on your mind that your mind whats to get over with.

Dreams are from your unconscious level... images are a disguised of what you want to do, what you've done, what you're fearing the most....
Now only you can decipher the meaning of your dreams....

dreams help you work out the days events, and helps your subconcous express itself in a healthy manner.

Dreams are Satan's way of showing you what you COULD have if you sell your soul to him.

Dreams are symbols that reflect what you are feeling about yourself.
