Nightmares are part of humans and they mostly happen when you continuously think of something bad rigjt beforengoing to bed or you manage to watch a scary movie right before going to bed.
They trigger when something brings it up. And that's why they exist. They're more common with children and the reason for that is glaring. Children are scared of more things than adults are and so they have nightmares more frequently than adults do.
Nightmares most times after they happen keeps us up and active and unable to go back to bed. Most times makes us put on the lights and very vigilant to anything that makes a sound. (I believe a lot should have experienced this).
MY EXPERIENCE.
The last time I had a nightmare, it was about heights. I was calling from somewhere so high. In fact I don't know how I started falling. And them I kept on moving closer to the group and right when I was about to land I woke up. π. Just imagine how I would have felt then.
Without further or do. Tell me, have you ever had nightmares and what funny thing did you do after waking up from it?
Sometimes watching of horror movies do cause nightmares..
