Why do people have nightmares and where do they come from?
Nightmares
Every normal person has bad dreams. Bad dreams or nightmares make you feel scared, anxious or upset. While you sleep your brain doesn’t turn off. You have several stages of sleeping. The main stage of sleeping is Rapid Eye Movement. Rapid Eye Movement is when your eyes move back and forth under your closed eyelids. If you wake up during this situation it is easier for you to remember what you dreaming about. The longest period of the REM is towards morning. That is why your most colorful dreams and nightmares occur in the early morning hours.
Why do I get nightmares?
Many things that happen to you during the day may turn the dreams to nightmares. The way we relieve our pressures is the nightmares. This means that we usually need to deal with our problems at one time or another, like problems at school, or problems at home, or any other problem in your life. Sometimes major events can cause to a nightmare, things like illness or death of someone we loved, those things cause u stress that leading you to nightmare. Another thing that may cause to nightmares is watching scary movies on T.V or to reed a scary book before going to bad, or any other scary things you heard or saw.
