I just learned this... When people have worries or anticipations their unconcious mind comes alive during their sleep. Every dream has a meaning. If it's a nightmare, evaluate the dream there may be something in the dream that you need to recognize. Dreams are always telling you something!

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.

Dreams and Nightmares are a collection of thoughts, images and memories that is stored in you subconsious mind. If your day was happy and not stressful you would be inclined to have a good dream, whereas stress can cause nightmares, dredging up fear you have had at some point in your life and magnifying it. The subconsious is a very imaginative thing. Some times it uses dreams as an outlet for frustrations and a creative zone for problem solving.

when they think of me... they dream
when they think of you... they have nightmares
Hahahaha!! Just kidding.
Dreams and nightmares are linked with their emotions, their desires, their fears, and their fates depending on how they take it.
So just keep thinking about me and you will never have nightmares. Hehehe!! Just kidding again.
