Nightmares may be more frightening if you’re a child and don’t understand what’s behind them.

The Mayo Clinic explains potential causes for bad dreams:

• Daily events that cause stress, or major life changes (such as a move or loss in the family).
• A traumatic accident or injury.
• Insufficient sleep.
• Some medications, such as antidepressants.
• Certain health conditions, such as significant anxiety.
• Abusing or withdrawing from alcohol or drugs.
• Watching a scary movie or reading a scary book.
