How do you get nightmares?

**Crashyy** · 08-02-2012 01:34 PM

Well my first lucid dream was actually a nightmare. And I think it's easier to realise you're dreaming when it's a nightmare. So I was wondering if there are any techniques or methods to have nightmares instead of regular dreams?

I heard that eating before bed increases the chance to give you nightmares.

That never worked for me. I always eat food right before I go to bed. :L

Eating candy before bed is known to induce nightmares. Eating cheese before bed induces good dreams. A lot of my dreams i became lucid in starts out as nightmares as well. Good luck!

No wonder why a lot of us have so many bad dreams as kids... We ate a lot of candy o.o (or at least i did xD especially on Halloween)

Watch nightmare on elm street (the first one). Then proceed by watching all the grudge movies, and to top it off play amnesia the dark descent. But there isn't really any magical way to have nightmares. You just can increase the chances that's about it.
