Why do I imagine things in scary situations just to make me more scared?

Either something terrible must have happened which you wasn't your fault or something must have happened which was your fault altogether. Whatever the cause maybe, think good things.

Dreams are a reflection of our subconscious. Apparently, on a subconscious level, you need more horror in your life. Go see a horror flick and sleep peacefully.\n\nNo, I'm not kidding. Every now and again, if I haven't seen a horror film in too long, I have really scary nightmares.

I get that alot as well. It's like you are predicting the future while you sleep, but there are always strange variations on reality that make it easy to dismiss.  Then when what you predicted happens close enough to your dream to make you think wow, but different enough not to have seen it coming.\n\nThe explanation that I have made up for this is a firm grasp of the random.  On some deep level you can guess whats going to happen, and it plays out in a dream the night before.

I like the adrenalin rush i get from nightmares.  I watch scary movies in hopes that i will have a nightmare.\n\nNightmares inspire me to be creative.  I am an F/X fanatic.  so the scary my dreams, the more artistic i am in my drawings and special effects for my kids costumes for Halloween. \nSome sleep researchers consider the occasional nightmare a natural response to stress, the body's way of practicing its "fight or flee" response, a way for us to work through aggressive feelings in a safe way, since the body's muscles are essentially paralyzed during rapid eye movement, REM, sleep.

Usually these sort of irrational fears are misplaced anxiety and fears about something else that perhaps you do not want to face.  For example if when you were a child you were abused , when you were a kid your brain would protect you from the trauma by blocking it - putting in the 'back burner'.  However when you grow up, the fear  that was linked to the trauma would still be there and would bubble up to your awareness.    When we feel fear but we don't know why our brain would try to attach it to something so that we have some explanation and we don't go insane.   Your explanation is the zombies however you rationally know that zombies dint exist so the question is WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REALLY ARE AFRAID OF ?   it could be that you are afraid that someone close to you will die !   or you may have wished death for someone and you are afraid it may happen or you are afraid that you are not a nice person etc you get the idea !!   Its like anger ,,  if you are angry because your wife cheated on you 5 years ago but you have accepted her apologies and supposedly you forgave her  you will block it and then you will always be angry about the cracks on the pavement !!!!!!!   Every night before you got to bed ask your self loudly WHY AM I AFRAID ? \nnot what but WHY .    soon your brain will answer back . I know it sounds crazy but it aint.

I have heard that the reason that happens is because you are nervous possibly\n:)

I've been robbed at gunpoint before, and - in my experience anyway - I went into an almost dream-like level of hypercontiousness.  It was like everything was moving in slow motion and I was totally aware of everything going on.  I don't remember feeling 'afraid', per se. The language fails an adequate description, thus there really is no way to answer this question unless you've been through it, and even then, it's hard to express.

You are in touch with the Universe and capable of seeing future events before they happen, why it happens I do not know for an absolute fact, but as for me myself I look upon it as a curse.\n\nPossibly you are a visionary who's mind through deductive reasoning can discern the probability of future events based upon current events, and current facts, and through thought your mind reveals it to you in your dreams.\n\nIf you find that you are plagued by these problems, please seek therapy.

Try to rationally diffuse them. Think about the worst case scenario and if these fears are imaginary you will eventually realise that nothing is going to happen. Its probably more difficult than it sounds - its not always easy to put something out of your mind but persevere and you'll be fine!

I believe it is called night terrors.  Sounds physical and psychological.  Stress and worry can lead to nightmares as well as any recent traumatic/major life events such as the death of a loved one, etc.  Or, maybe you shouldn't eat pizza right before going to bed.  Just kidding.  Go see a Doctor.  Good luck.

Because they're scary and weird and give me nightmares.

I go through the same thing. It is a mixture of you having the gift of sight, and your mind telling you things wiil turn out for the worse because of traumatic experiences that happened to you(it seems when you're happy, things always change for the worse.) My advice to turn off this anxiety is to say this affirmation when feeling it "My life only changes for the better, my loved ones and I are safe".\nIt helped me out tremendously. The mind is a powerful thing if you see something bad coming, say the affirmation to change it.

Because they are something you fear will happen..or is your conscience trying to tell you something. Dreams are issues you have that have not resolved or things you worry about, or fantasize about but don't have the guts to face or do in real life.

I believe it has something to do with your cerebellum being able to detect expected and unexpected sensations. A reasonable explanation can be found here: http://science.howstuffworks.com/question511.htm
