Nightmare Causes and Cures
Usually, when people dream .... they are in a state where they work out problems in which, they cannot in reality...
factors that contribute to nightmare frequency are: illness (especially fever), stress (caused by situations like the difficulties of adolescence, moving, hard times at school or work), troubled relationships and traumatic events, like being mugged or experiencing a serious earthquake.
Traumatic events can trigger a long lasting series of recurrent nightmares.
Some drugs and medications can cause an increase in nightmares
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prescriptions for Nightmares
Here is a list of some of the more common nightmare themes,
1. Theme: Being pursued
Response: Stop running. Turn to face the pursuer. This is in itself may cause the pursuer to disappear or become harmless. If not, try starting a conciliatory dialog with the character or animal.
2. Theme: Being attacked
Response: Don't give in meekly to the attack or flee. Show your readiness to defend yourself and then try to engage the attacker
3. Theme: Falling
Response: Relax and allow yourself to land. The "old wives' tale" is false--you will not really die if you hit the ground. Alternatively, you can transform falling into flying.
4. Theme: Paralysis
Response: When you feel trapped, stuck or paralyzed, relax. Don't allow anxiety to overcome your rationality. Tell yourself you are dreaming and the dream will soon end. Let yourself go along with any images that appear or things that happen to your body. None of it will hurt you. Adopt an attitude of interest and curiosity about what happens.
5. Theme: Being unprepared for an examination or speech
Response: First of all, you don't need to continue with this theme at all. You can leave the exam or lecture room. However, you might enhance your self-confidence in such situations by creatively answering the test questions or giving a spontaneous talk on whatever topic suits you. Be sure to enjoy yourself. When you wake up, you may want to ask yourself whether you should actually prepare for a similar situation.
6. Theme: Being naked in public
Response: Who cares in a dream? Have fun with the idea. Some find being naked in a lucid dream erotically exciting. If you wish, have everyone else in the dream remove their clothes. Remember, modesty is a public convention, and dreams are private experiences

EKdude, how the hell is someone supposed to make a concious decision IN THEIR DREAM to do any of those things. They may sound good on paper, and logical in person, however in a dream, it is more of a progression from one thing to another.
As in you let the events unfold, don't really have any concious control over them, then wake up and think about WTF is wrong with you.
I've noticed that if you eat fatty foods before going to bed, you are pretty much guaranteed to have a dream of some sort. Whether it be a burger, a slice of pizza, or a couple of cookies, you will most likely have a dream. My friend explained this to me once, but I don't remember the scientific reasoning for it. All I know is that it works.

Lucid dreaming is dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming.
This fascinating state of consciousness allows you to control your dreams and experience anything imaginable, from the norm to
the impossible.
There are practises and techniques in which an individual must learn in order to allow yourself to guide your dreams.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether awake or asleep, our consciousness functions as a
model of the world constructed by the brain from the best
available sources of information. During waking conditions, this
model is derived primarily from sensory input, which provides the
most current information about present circumstances, and
secondarily from contextual and motivational information.
While we sleep, very little sensory input is available,
so the world model we experience is constructed from what
remains, contextual information from our lives,
past experience,
and motivations (e.g., wishes and fears).
As a result, the content of our dreams is largely
determined by what we fear, hope for, and expect.
dreams aplenty
