Unimportant thoughts - nightmares I was just wondering, why do we have nightmares? I know the basics of scientific answer that our subconscious keep our memories and fear and put it all together (it must be wrong but ok). I was thinking of it because this week, I had nightmares every night! And afternoon, 'cause I sleep after lunch. And I just can't understand why. I've tried to write a journal of each dream but I'm lazy hahaha.
