Bad Dreams Will Mess You Up?

Are nightmares the brain’s way of venting its deepest anxieties to help relieve stress? Science seems to say yes, but even newer Science says not so fast! Recent studies show that “not only did nightmares not stave off anxiety, but people who reported being distressed about their dreams were even more likely to suffer from general anxiety than those who experienced an upsetting event such as the divorce of their parents.” One more thing to worry about, I guess.
