I was thinking… How could someone give someone else a nightmare?
I know some people who deserve a good nightmare… And on that how could you give yourself a nightmare (besides watching scary movies). Because a nightmare is a good way to become lucid for me.
Sorry, not really helping here…but I don’t really know if you can self-induce a nightmare. Let alone giving someone else one. All I know is that stress can bring nightmares.
On that note, I haven’t had a nightmare in years…oddly. 
As far as I know, you cannot induce dreams in others. That would be disturbing. If you know some people who deserve a good nightmare, leave it to karma and stay out of it.
Self-inducing nightmares is actually quite easy. Read The Call of Cthulhu until you fall asleep, then enjoy the wrath of the Elder Gods.
The only way is if you can create a “link” to the victim (I mean you make an SD).
Then the fun begins, spawn all horrible things on the opponents 
But the way to that is REALLY hard, ask someone who knows about SD, like wikipedia 
I’m reading Freud’s interpretation of dreams and there’s a section about external sensory input affecting the dream. You could try inducing nightmares by manipulating someone’s sleep environment:
- Make them too hot, extra blankets, heater etc
- Make them too cold, steal their blankets, open a window etc
- Make them wet, drip water on their face or spray them with a spray bottle
- Blow on their face or tickle them with a feather
- Shine a soft light on their eyelids (too bright might wake them up)
- Make soft sounds, or whisper things in their ear, “I’m gonna kill you” etc
Just a few suggestions. Keep in mind though, there is no guarantee these will work. You might even accidentally induce a pleasant dream!
Yes Tom, youre counting all physic methods, some better than others. But the best way is to create an SD with the victim and use all terrible powers against him/her.
Who doesn’t enjoy a good threat 
?
I, myself, almost never have nightmares and when I do, it always is about me running away from something really terrible. I’m then numb with fear so I can’t run very well, which is the scariest part… 
The only way of making someone have a nightmare, I think, is to go inside his/her dream and do something scary to him/her, though, I’m not sure if it is a good way of punishing people. Once they wake up they might forget all about that nightmare.
the thing with nightmares is that you CANT forget them. But you can turn them to an LD.
I have never nightmares, I have too many LD’s for that 
Well, I never remember more of a nightmare than that I am running from something but can’t because I’m too weak of fear. Or maybe things that are nightmares to others seem normal to me 
! That’s a possibility too…
You just remember the horrible part, ask the monster/danger if it wants to hurt you and do an RC at the same time, it should help 
How would you know if you always remember your nightmares? You could just not remember that you’ve forgotten.
What I’m trying to say is that this running away from something nightmare is the only one I EVER have. Mostly people have different nightmare, don’t they?
And asking some horrible monster something while it already looks forward to digesting me 
, seems a bit like suicide… even though you can’t really die in a dream, the experience of being eaten is something I would prefer not to… experience … though it might be funny to see someone else experience it
Interesting…
My nightmares usually occur when i’m sick…
Read my DJ
But out of that…i don’t really have nightmares…let’s say…once a year?
Then you should RC more often when youre sick 
It should help…
I have really horrible situation nightmares like I killed my brother and my whole family disowned me.
No funny nightmares 
I would never kill them I care about 
Would it somehow be possible while lucid, to bring someone else into your dream, and make it a nightmare?
but its hard to create this SD, but if you succeed you can spawn all horrible things you want at the victim 
I think it would be better if you’d just pop up in you’re victim’s dreams you’reself, while being aware of the fact that you’re dreaming, you should still be able to do ALL the things you want to … until you’re victim becomes lucid and takes away you’re powers, perhaps.
But if I may ask(just out of curiosity), who do you intend on giving a nightmare(some teacher or evil neighbor maybe?) and for what reason?
If the victim doesnt know about LD’s its easy, but attack an LD’er and the most aware wins…
