      A study listing six possible causes of Nightmares

      http://www.divinecaroline.com/articl...reasons-dreams

      This study basically states that stress and anxiety, spicy foods, foods with high fat content, alcohol, drugs and illnesses can cause nightmares.

      Can anybody here on DVs relate to these findings?

      yea... I've been very ill these last weeks. Lotta stress from work...
      And I'm having the worst streak of nightmares ever... They just get more and more intense.
      I can also relate to some of the other points.
      Except I almost never drink alcohol.

      Insanity is the mind's only effective defense against reality.
      sometimes dreams are so good that it hurts to wake up... .

      I don't know but I noticed periods of heavy cannabis use (I said heavy) totally hinder my regular dream recall let alone occurence of lucids which is kind of annoying since I'm usually pretty consistent now otherwise (seems to greatly suppress REM recall atleast even though I get a good sleep). A couple of sleep aids I tried (which didn't do much for me but I just wanted to attempt it) ended up just giving me really vivid nightmares on those couple occasions but I'm not sure if that was by chance or not. Stress and anxiety I can vouch for as well as I'm sure the majority of people can.

      totally agree with that. If I suddenly stop for a period, I start dreaming again.
      this time it's only nightmares..

      Haha, ya I went hardcore again for a period of time recently and last night after recently quitting (even though it was really cool) I had a pretty freaky LD that was only partially under my control and involved everyone trying to kill me and sawing off close family/friends limbs . I also had to walk around with both of my legs almost completely chopped off and even though I realized it was lucid since I didn't gain complete control had to resort to indirect measures to get them back haha (had to call 911, then the police, then the fire department, etc.) and finally ended up just looking for a sowing kit and using that lol.

      Your belief system is what causes nightmares. If you believe your vulnerable and prone to all these dangers then your gonna have crazy dreams getting tormented by all these illusory dangers.
