Pesadelo: A pesadelo, or nightmare, is a vivid and disturbing dream that typically evokes feelings of fear, anxiety, or dread. Common themes include being chased, falling, or encountering terrifying creatures. These dreams often reflect unresolved stress, trauma, or fears from waking life. They can also serve as a subconscious warning signal, indicating that the dreamer may need to confront underlying issues or emotional struggles. The intensity of a pesadelo can lead to a sense of helplessness or loss of control, often waking the dreamer abruptly. Experiencing frequent pesadelos may suggest a need for emotional healing, better stress management, or the exploration of personal fears.
