Because Nightmares seem to be more traumatizing to us when we're young. because in nightmares people are usually scared and are very watchful of themselves, as to a good or neutral dream they know dreams are weird and have had many of those, and in most dreams you are flying or walking with friends or something, which is something everyday and normal, so you wouldn't have that dream on your mind as much as a scarecrow with a chainsaw running around your grandpa's farm.

Can kids die from nightmares if there really scared?

In a nightmare anyone can die.. First off if you .. as in yourself die in your dream then you will die in the real world because a dream is an alternate world negative or positive that your brain creates and reacts with. So yes its possible to die but not likely from being really scared. Being scared from a dream is normal but if it consists trying sleeping with your son/daughter and comforting them and washing away their fears with positive comebacks to their negative thoughts. And remember a dream or nightmare is always influenced from the real world in one way or another.

How do you save your friends from the nightmare in dragon age origens?

You first need to defeat the bosses whose 'islands' border each Nightmare. Once you do so, you can access the nightmare, where you can talk your friend out of the situation, though there will be combat involved. Sten and Morrigan already know it is a dream, which helps.


What does it mean when you dream you are hanging out with your ex- boyfriend at his mom's house and he passes you a note saying I've missed you?

Your dream was simply wishful thinking. You are probably thinking of him quit a bit and therefore you have dreams about him and it's natural. People dream every half hour and remember few dreams in REM sleep as it's the bodies way of relaxing from stress. The dreams people remember are seconds after the first wake up.


If your husband is talking about cheating on you in his sleep is he?

Humans dream every half hour, but do not always remember their dreams. If one does remember a dream or nightmare it's the first few seconds upon wakening when one is not in REM sleep. Both men and women dream about all sorts of things and if one is honest there has been one or two times that both men and women may have fantasized about another person of the opposite sex and the brain is a complex circuit board, so no, just because your husband is talking about cheating in his sleep it doesn't mean he is.

Dream your spouse is cheating?

It is very common when a marriage has some problems that one spouse is worried the marriage will fail and they become extremely stressed about it and may suspect their spouse is cheating. When one sleeps the brain is still active and all people dream every half hour to release the stress of the day, but most of people do not remember their dreams as they are in full REM sleep. It is the first few moments when a person wakes up (it seems longer than a few moments) that they will remember a dream or a nightmare. The best thing you can do is choose a quiet evening with your spouse and calmly (without accusing them) that you had a dream that they were cheating. Your spouse will not be upset because they know it's just a dream to them, but watch for body language and facial expressions. If you feel there is a chance your spouse is cheating then ask them right out. If they deny it and you are still sure they are cheating your only two options is to have a friend with a car and the two of you follow your spouse or, hire a detective for the days your spouse is not around.
