It is quite interesting how many different views on
these topic coexist. Both extremes - defend and
surrender - are comprehensible represented. Your
view seems to be more Jung oriented and is a very
promising one for me.

Jung believed that nightmares, like most other types of dreams, serve a
compensatory function. If people became too flippant or perfunctory in
their conscious attitude, then a dream could enhance the situation and
compensate for that waking state in a way that produced a nightmare
(Jung, 1930, p. 205). Similarly, nightmares could "shock" a dreamer in
order to impart messages difficult for that person to accept. Traumatic
nightmares, however, are not viewed in Jungian dream theory as being
compensatory because they are largely unrelated to the dreamer's
conscious attitude and "conscious assimilation of the fragment [of the
psyche] reproduced by the dream does not . . . put an end to the
disturbance which determined the dreams" (Jung, cited in Mattoon, 1978,
p.142).

Thanks for your post. I will try to integrate that when entering the
next evil battlefield ;-)
