      I personally have only ever had the opposite problem and in the past I have had 2+ nightmares every night. So first of all I would recommend that you think hard as they are not pleasant and if you give yourself one you could open the door to more. Personally I found that telling myself over and over before I slept that I wouldn't have a nightmare stopped them and also improving my dream recall so I could see how absurd they were also helped. I don't see why the opposites wouldn't work. Also if you do start having a lot don't worry too much as after a while you will find them less scary as you have seen it all before.

      Get a blood test for food allergies... then eat a crap load of food you are allergic too. That's where the sugar advice comes in... some people are sensitive to sugar, (especially if they have undiagnosed Lyme Disease, and/or PTSD) and some people are allergic to sugar, (but not necessarily diabetic).

      I cured my Nightmare Disorder, (or my wonderful doctor did,) by getting a blood test for food allergies. I haven't had a nightmare in over a year, (well at least not a super traumatic rape one).

      * If your blood test shows a +5 - +7 allergy... don't experiment with that. (Although you would probably already know of a +6 or +7 allergy because you would die. Try eating +3 allergens. Although if you don't normally have nightmares... then you are probably not allergic to much. But if you have a few +1 allergens, then you could try eating multiple +1 foods together before bedtime.

      Good Luck, and be careful what you wish for! (My PTSD turned into C-PSTD because of the nightmares)

      I don't really know of any ways to trigger one. But they are helpful for becoming Lucid. Every nightmare I've had since learning about Lucid Dreaming i've become lucid.
