There is a large list of parasomnias (sleep disorders involving dreams) and some result in the sufferer being afraid of sleeping. This means they have been traumatised to some degree. In PTSD, nightmares are often part of a negative feedback loop. Ie. They feed the disorder and make it worse. They fuel the trauma.

It is probably rare but can happen

Anything can cause traumas

In my case I have traumas with some food v:

Noting those dreams in a notebook may help I guess??
But therapy can be a good solution as well

For now dreams have not caused me traumas , but it did happen the other way around v:

Depends on the dream, and the dreamer.

Double edged.

Most nightmares are caused by having trauma´s. But there is little doubt about the nightmares having an impact on your brain.

Some even argue, that the nightmares is beneficial for your brain.

Yes. I had a dream when I was little that I was in the grocery store with my Mom and I saw blue & white frosted chocolate cupcakes. I got so excited and my mom bought them for me but right after she bought them I flipped the plastic container holding them upside down and ruined the frosting.

My Mom scolded me and went back to swap them with another and told me not to flip the cupcakes upside down or she would be angry with me. We then walked out of the store and I accidentally flipped the cupcakes again so we walked in to switch for a second time.

My Mom then told me if I flipped the cupcakes one more time that I would be having no cupcakes at all. I promised her that I wouldn't and we walked out of the store. However, she soon looked at me with a face of anger and disappointment. In my hands were the cupcakes flipped upside down but I didn't even move them so I got no cupcakes and was miserable.

Now whenever I go into a store and see cupcakes that dream plays through my head and I become traumatized.

There is a fear of nightmares, kakoneirophobia. When I was little I didn't want to fall asleep because I might see the same nightmare again, until I realized it's just a dream and now I see nightmares as nothing but entertainment. Better than horror films if you ask me.

Anything can cause trauma if you're a big enough ♥♥♥♥♥.

I've had Dreams that bothered me for days, but I wouldn't say I was traumatized.

What's a "trauma" in this case?

Once in a while I get such dreams, I forget about them after a week or two though.

why not? dreams are experiences, and if you remember them there's no reason why they can't be traumatizing

not really
it's just that nowadays people actually recognize the seriousness of it rather than dismissively saying "toughen up"
