But nightmares might be a way to get over a traumatic experience you once had.
*in addition to other things dreams may be doing.
its like dreams sorting out stuff in its own way and without the imput /influence of conscious mind. because , conscious thought get stuff so wrong at times . look at the neg state of the world around us , even individual lives due to bad decisions of conscious thinking. eyes wide open... and f-cking things up. it gets stuff right too etc, but it gets stuff very wrong . perhaps dreams are cutting out the danger of neg conscious influence as they seek resolve issues in subconscious fashion. that's why dreams go beyond the boundaries of conscious thought n reason . anything can happen in a dream .
then when it has stuff resolved in its own way via dream, it then informs / instructs the conscious mind. problem is of course when it flips back from dream ,the conscious mind does not always understand.. it doesn't quiet get the msg . kind of like person who doesnt understand a parable story. they can only see the literal meaning and therefore think it just make no sense . they think the content of literal dream story don't / cant happen and that all they focus on. they don't get the other meaning presented in their awake mode. so they just forget or dismiss them and give them no further thought.
nevertheless, even consciousness may not understand , I believe dreams informs it somehow and influences it regardless, turns it around in right direction..
dreams are a big part of human experience .im sure they just don't construct and reveal themselves for no reason. but understanding them in their formats is not easy.
