Answer 1

Hmmm....well, I find that a really scary dream can stay with me for awhile, you can have it kind of sitting there in the back of your mind, or kind of sitting there in your gut, and leaving you feeling a little ill at ease as you go about your day. I don't think that a scary dream causes an anxiety disorder, though. More like a reflection of anxiety that existed before the dream. One of the reasons it nags at you for awhile, is that the dream is trying to direct your attention to something in your spirit that needs to be attended to, something that has been pushed aside, something you don't want to address, but your spirit needs to address it, even when your waking self doesn't want to, and if you are unwilling to address it in your waking life, you will do so in your dreams, if you want to or not. For example, if you are having problems with another, and haven't addressed the problem, because you don't want to "rock the boat", you may have a scary dream of being at sea in a terrible storm, those feelings will still try to work themselves out one way or another, or you will have a dream to motivate you to pay attention to the issue and figure out a way to work it out. That is just an example of how an existing anxiety can cause a scary dream. A dream is a story you tell yourself, about yourself, and a dream log is a valuable tool to help you learn about how to decipher the imagery of your own dreams, which is a kind of shorthand written in images. If you can figure out what the dream is trying to direct your attention to, and resolve the issue you are trying to talk to yourself about, then the anxious feelings will go away. Good luck, I hope you find the answers you seek.....

Answer 3

If it is a recurring nightmare then it is probably bringing an unconscious fear to consciousness. I don't think a single nightmare could cause an anxiety disorder though.

Answer 4

I don't think so unless the person had some kind of underlying medical condition to begin with and the dream provoked it.

Answer 5

No. If your mind was healthy, it couldn't produce anything that would traumatize you. If your mind wasn't healthy then i suppose a dream could trigger something but if that happens, you had problems before any dreams occurred.
