There are certain factors that contribute to frightening dreams occurring in adults:
1. Certain Medications and illnesses, especially fever, can cause bad dreams.
2. Stress and anxiety in adults is the main reason that causes bad dreams. If there are some stressful events or huge changes in your life this can definitely lead to frightening dreams.3. Traumatic events such as deaths, serious injuries or being attacked can bring on a severe form called Post Traumatic Nightmares and these are more severe than regular bad dreams and are usually recurring dreams. Treatment can be sought for these forms of dreams as they are usually more disturbing and persistent in nature.
When i was small i woke up crying from a dream that until this day i still remember. And the information above seems quite accurate because i really did have a high fever. I also went through a stage (not too long ago) where i kept having these dreams that unlike the normal dreams i have, felt so realistic. There was always a black shadow surrounding me and for some reason i had this feeling that i wasn't completely asleep. When the shadow came closer to me i would try to wake myself up because i didn't want to keep dreaming. That probably sounds ridiculous but it was seriously like that ): Anyway i'm glad i don't have those dreams any more.
