When does a Dream become a Nightmare? Can Nightmares be controlled? Are they caused by disturbance, worry, fear or eating late at night?

Nightmares
I believe nightmares can be caused by a lot of factors: stress, eating late, watching a scary movie, worry, fear, etc. I suffer from time to time from nightmares to the point that I get up very afraid and shaking. It takes me hours to go back to sleep after that.

Nightmares Paranormal & Mystics Dreams Studies
What is a nightmare exactly? I have a lot of off the wall dreams, and I like to discuss them with friends. Most have of them have asked me why I always seem to be having nightmares. My dreams don't seem like frightening to me at all. I can only remember one dream that has ever terrified me enough so that I woke in a cold sweat. When I confided this dream to derek he laughed and asked how did this one scare me when all the others didn't.

To me a dream only becomes a nightmare when you become afraid in your dream. Now let me explain what I mean by that. Let us say you are dreaming of someone trying to kill you. If you are the type that runs from the killer then your heart will pound and your emotions will come into play in the dream and lo and behold: nightmare! Now, if you are the type like me where I tend to fight back the killer and even win then the dream might be more of an entertainment action film as it were rather than a nightmare. So in a long story short: if your dreams make you fearful or disturbed then it is a nightmare. The official word is this:
| QUOTE (Dictionary.com) |
| night·mare 1. A dream arousing feelings of intense fear, horror, and distress. 2. An event or experience that is intensely distressing. 3. A demon or spirit once thought to plague sleeping people. |

For me, there are either bad dreams or nightmares.
Bad dreams are ones in which a loved one dies, someone is chasing me or something bad is actually happening in the dream.
Then there are the nightmares where nothing bad is actively happening, but I just have a feeling of pure dread, terror, or sense of pure evil. Really, I wonder if definition 3 would explain it?
