Answers:

There is no simple answer to this one - but nightmares often represent our subconscious working through our fears.

They mean something different to everyone, and only you can work out what your dream means to you.

The best way to prevent a nightmare is to deal with what ever issue is causing the nightmare.

I've had nightmares where I was being chased, and after I woke up and realised it was only a dream, I went back into the dream and turned around and dealt with the monster. Sometimes I surrendered to it, sometimes I killed it. All depended on what the fear/issue was that needed resolving.
