What do you think of dreams that are or meant to be nightmares?

And, am I the only person here who likes them making me really strange?

i think its possible to have an awesome nightmare.

i think that dreams are nightmares if they are scary in some way.

and ive had some nightmares, which did scare me, but i think they were cool at the same time.

well let me ask you something have you ever experienced sleep paralysis i have and it is not something you would call awesome it is something you call strange and quite terrifying through your first experience and this condition may occur with people associated with narcolepsy, cataplexy, and hypnagogic hallucinations. the dream like state that i was in was like i had just smoked smoke salvia except for the i could not move my body at all.

I think that if anything bad or somewhat scary happens in a dream, that then creates a nightmare. I'm now curious to do some Google searches.

Nothing really scares me these days, though one nightmare I had back in January kinda shook me cause it was me back as a kid playing in my grans garden and there was a window (no window there on the actual house) and I kept looking in every so often and the final time I did she was dead and going a blueish grey colour, though the weird thing was is I never went to her funeral when she died so I never saw her body.

Nope, I don't think I've ever really experienced not being able to move my body.

I'm thinking it would be worse to not dream at all.

I actually havent had a nightmare that I can remember for years.
My dreams suck!

Dude!, that is the most awful thing ever
It happened to me last week, I was really freaked out, I woke up in the middle of the night and for like 20 seconds I couldn't move my body at all. All of my body went numb, It was really weird cause nothing like that had ever happened to me.

That's happened to me before.
I used to really freak out, but I find that you still have limited movement in your fingers, and if you move them, it'll allow you to move again. I feel it like my body is asleep but I'm conscious.

Not really, I went quite a while before without dreaming. I never really thought about it, well not until I started dreaming again.

If you've had nightmares, you've probably forgotten which is quite usual to happen.

I only briefly remember the dream I woke up from after finally going back to sleep, dreams I don't think can be fully remembered and mostly dreams are forgotten when awoken.
