To those who want scarier nightmares I have a good tip. Sleep less and get hallucinations added to it.
Combine with anguish and you will get an even greater experience.
I am not going to sacrifice my health just to get more nightmares.
Also, I've found if you sleep in greater heat, the odds of having a nightmare increase. But I can't fall asleep if I am hot
If you enjoy the dream, then its clearly not a nightmare. Ive had some horrid fucked up dreams that leaves you shivering and paralyzed once you wake up.
Also had a nigthmare about mount and blade once=P
I was trying to command a siege attack, but noone would listen and just nubed around..Not really that scary but damn so frustrating
I might be slightly terrified whilst in the dream (nevertheless, I am always having much fun), but when I wake up, I am like, "Fuck yes, moar moar moar!"
Nightmares are the ability to experience unique occurrences without incurring any penalties from them in real life. I can't imagine anything more fun/beneficial.
