It might be because you aren't waking up in or near REM sleep which helps a lot when entering the dream. I've heard some people try to use an alarm device which turns it's self off very quickly so you don't have to move, and don't wake up to much, that could be something to try if you have the right alarm, or a computer by your bed.

Yes that is normal with nightmares.
