Nightmare : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Nightmare

Nightmares are bad dreams that occur during REM sleep (Rapid eye movement sleep). Just like normal dreams we do not remember them very clearly afterwards, but are still an unpleasant experience each time.

Nightmares can result from several different things. Anguish and anxiety are the most common causes of nightmares. Severe stress or trauma related to an important event may also cause nightmares in the form of flashback which is also a painful experience. Some may also be due to taking medications or drugs and other hallucinogenic substances. But a lot of nightmare appear to have no real logical explanation, and the result of internal conflicts repressed by the individual manifested once asleep. Eating before bed, which triggers an increase in the body's metabolism and brain activity, is another potential stimulus for nightmares.
