Nightmares are terrifying dreams in which our worst fears are brought to life in convincing detail. Whatever horrors you believe to be the worst things that could happen—these are the most likely subjects of your nightmares. People's understanding of the origins of nightmares has varied as much as their understanding of dreams. To some cultures, they were the true experiences of the soul as it wandered another world as the body slept. To others, they were the result of the visitation of demons.
