    Some places just give people the willies. Even if you don't regularly consume horror media, environmental cues are probably there triggering the reaction.

    Either try behavioral therapy or the Pinkie Pie Method (find amusement in things that irrationally frighten you).

    If you're worried about only the nightmares, you could try learning to lucidly dream. Some psychologists actually teach lucid dreaming techniques to help people with chronic, severe, and disruptive nightmare patterns.

    Yeah. My theory is that Trixe (me) was starting to turn, so they put her out of her misery.

    I also had another dream that included alot of ponies, including some of the mane 6. Only thing is that it's not so much vivid. I might practice remembering dreams.

    I think it's supposed to be burnt deeply into your mind. Or you're probably not remembering that you HAD dreams with ponies.

    And speaking of which, who once had a pony dream that included shipping?

    I wish I could lucid dream. Problem is, whenever it gets weird enough for me to realize I'm dreaming, it's so creepy that I immediately end the dream instead of trying to control it. :/

    Word of advice: you ever manage to stay in one for any length of time, DON'T look in a mirror (in your dream, of course).

    Self-concept is a troubled thing for most people. Whenever people look into mirrors in lucid dreams, they tend to see something strange or shocking. Other peoples' faces, or warped, deformed versions of one's own face aren't unusual. This is a good way to ensure your nice lucid dream becomes a nightmare rather quickly.

    I feel like I've done that before, except for some reason there was nothing in the mirror at all...

    Mirrors are symbolic of self-reflection, and, thus, of one's own self-concept. In the real world, they can only reflect the images that are presented to them. In dreamscapes, though, there are no kinds of binding physical laws, so things can get weird fast.

    Things will get even creepier, if, god forbid, people try to use their ability to influence their lucid dream content for deviant purposes, such as fulfilling secret violent or sexual fantasies.
