Actually, in point of fact, **everyone** have about 90% of their dream 
being negative, every night. The thing is, we only remember the ones 
where we make a rapid transition from a dream state, to a nearly 
conscious one. And since that only usually happens at the beginning, or 
end, of the night's sleep, we just don't remember the rest of them at all.

Other interesting points - We suffer from moments of arousal several 
times a night too, and most people don't bounce around in bed at night 
due to sleep paralysis, a condition that keeps the body from responding 
to what you are doing in those dreams. So.. If you ever wanted to know 
what the concept of "succubi" came from, imagine being some celibate 
twit, waking from a nightmare, which suffering sleep paralysis, and 
having an erection. lol
