I usually don't have nightmares, but when I do it seems they're directly related to existing trauma - the worst nightmares I've ever had didn't include blood, gore, being chased, or anything like that. They've always been about being completely abandoned, lied to, cheated, or otherwise emotionally hurt.
Though I've had a few weird dreams where my teeth are falling out (and I can actually feel them busting in my mouth, as if I had a bunch of little blocks in there) or I'm stuck in a room/house and I can't turn the lights on no matter how many times I flip the switches.
