Most of the people of today are contented to say that nightmares are “only dreams” which they mean, it is just imaginary and of no consequence. They’re not worried or anything because dreams are just dreams and it won’t happen in real life. To others, it has been the result of the visitation of the demons and indeed, the word nightmare came from the Anglo-Saxon for goblin and incubus (Laberge & Rheingold, 1990). Some were very affected, scared and becomes paranoid every night when sleeping time approaches.
A nightmare scares the dreamer so much they wake up suddenly in the middle of the night sweating, feeling an extreme fear, heartbeat pounding really fast, and sometimes screaming in fear. They feel discomfort and danger. After they wake up from the nightmare for a minute or so, they’ll think it might be still going on, and it will remain in the mind for a long time. This may cause the dreamer a sleep disorder and a negative emotional response from the mind.
Some says that nightmares are some of the most significant and helpful of all dreams. By dramatizing our worst fears, they sometimes give us the courage to move forward without the anxiety of “what might happen” since we have already lived through the worst in our dreams.

A nightmare is a vividly unpleasant, often violent dream that awakens the sleeping person (Groliers, Inc., 1995).

In a nightmare, the dreamer feels as if some great evil is trying to doom the dreamer (in some cases, it is some kind of escape punishment). It is usually significant in that they cause real fear.
