I wonder if nightmares could be a thing that has been passed down via genetic coding to keep people from relaxing too much and letting the saber tooth tiger drag away Wilma Flintstone?

If you are really interested in learning about this genetic theory of dreams read Carl Jung - he writes a lot about this and about symbolism - quite fascinating. 

Jung,  Man and His Symbols  is an excellent book.

"Jung's concept of the collective unconscious has often been misunderstood. In order to understand this concept, it is essential to understand his idea of the archetype, something foreign to the highly rational, scientifically-oriented Western mind.
The collective unconscious could be thought of as the DNA of the human psyche. Just as all humans share a common physical heritage and predisposition towards specific physical forms (like having two legs, a heart, etc.) so do all humans have a common psychological predisposition. However, unlike the quantifiable information that composes DNA (in the form of coded sequences of nucleotides), the collective unconscious is composed of archetypes.
In contrast to the objective material world, the subjective realm of archetypes can not be fully plumbed through quantitative modes of research. Instead it can be revealed more fully through an examination of the symbolic communications of the human psyche — in art, dreams, religion, myth, and the themes of human relational/behavioral patterns. Devoting his life to the task of exploring and understanding the collective unconscious, Jung theorized that certain symbolic themes exist across all cultures, all epochs, and in every individual.."

I had a real-life nightmare on Sunday, just gone.

My Mistress wrapped me up in saran wrap, really tight and secure - I couldnt move a muscle. Then (as a humiliation thing) covered my head and face in shaving foam. She left me like that then, turning off the light and closing the door on her exit. I moved my head to one side and got a face full of even more foam, but Mistress had put a towel under my head. Somehow, this ended up covering my face and trapping all airways. I tried to inhale air, but all I got was a mouth full of foam and my nostrils were blocked now too. I tried to sit up but I seriously couldnt move a muscle. I screamed as loud as I could. I screamed 3 times before Master came in to see what was going on. He didnt even realise Mistress had put foam on me.

He quickly removed all the foam and I was able to breathe again. It was a terrifying experience, as I was trapped, all alone, and unable to breathe. I dread to think what would have happened if Master had not heard me screaming, or reached me in time. I could very easily have died, suffocated under the foam.

I cant understand why Mistress left me like that in the first place. But anyway, thats my real-life BDSM nightmare lol.

It's funny you should mention this - because right after I first found these boards last year, and was really getting into reading them, I had one of the worst nightmares I've ever had. It was horrible, and really, really scary. It wasn't about BDSM per se, but the people in it were all trying to kill me by skinning me alive, after chasing me up and down an escaltor in a vacuous, very populated building with very high ceilings, where I knew they were following me, but couldn't find a security guard anywhere, for what seemed like hours, and then they somehow cornered me in a room of this old, delapidated house and went to work on me..I woke up in a sweat and slept with the light on for two nights afterward.

I think My mouth is still agape from reading this.  I am at a loss for words how this situation ever occurred, or that you could be so forgiving.  I do not generally judge how others play...but this is such a terrifying scenario-forget about the obvious physical damange that could have been done, the emotional and psychological trauma could have been devestating. 
Blessings that you lived to tell about this.

I agree…I’m shocked that a ‘Mistress’ would leave a submissive alone in such a state.  I try not to judge people either, but that was one of the most irresponsible things I’ve heard of a Dominant doing!  
 
Dang, Jess…HOW are you going to trust her again?  I’d be hard pressed to let her put me in such a position again…and would seriously consider leaving such a situation.
 
You’re lucky you didn’t aspirate the damn foam and were able to scream at all!  <shakes head>

OMG
sounds like "Mistress" needs some "How not to kill your sub101"
seriously though,are you an adrenelin junkie?
that sounded "hot"
i have to ask, did it get you wet?
has anyone ever played with your "air"?
i mean on purpose.
and sticking with the theme of the thread..
nightmares are like anything else and subject to how we each percieve them,
what's reality?
it's how we each cope with our world.period.
