Ever wondered why we dream? Why we make nightmares?
This article shows us that nightmares are essential in averting the storage of negative memories...
Have fun now my friends...

In the Dreamscape of Nightmares, Clues to Why We Dream at All</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/23/science/23angi.html?th=&emc=th&pagewanted=all">By all evidence, outrageously bad dreams are a universal human experience. Sometimes the dreams are scary enough to jolt the slumberer awake, in which case they meet the formal definition of nightmares — bad dreams that wake you up. At other times, they are even worse.  The sleeper  thinks the nightmare is over, only to step into Your Nested Nightmare, Chapter II. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/23/science/23angi.html?th=&emc=th&pagewanted=all">A big reason bad dreams offer insight into the architecture of dreams generally is that, as a host of studies have shown, most of our dreams are bad. Whether research subjects keep   dream journals at home or sleep in  research labs and are periodically awoken out of rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep — the stage most often associated with dreaming — the results are the same: about three-quarters of the emotions described are negative.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/23/science/23angi.html?th=&emc=th&pagewanted=all">Even bona fide nightmares are more common than most of us realize.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/23/science/23angi.html?th=&emc=th&pagewanted=all"><IMG width="600" height="219" border="0" alt="" src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/10/23/science/angi_600.jpg" />
