A nightmare is any distressing dream, and we all have one from time to time in reaction to stress and anxiety. Some nightmares are caused by psychological problems, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and repressed memories about abuse or negative events. Nightmares related to PTSD, abuse and dissociative disorders are best dealt with in professional therapy.
