Other people experience nightmares because of their awake lives. Finally some people have nightmares unrelated to their lives. These people are creative.

Most nightmares are expressions of the dreamer's fears and anxieties. The subconscious mind will use frightening images to depict intangible feelings in much the same way as Cartoons use images to represent political figures. For example, the bald eagle or Uncle Sam are used to represent the United States. In the same way, a dream will use a snake or a monster to represent a certain fear.
