  I think you are having an unintentional choice bias here.

  In general, during sleep dreams come in cycles. You have a dream, then
nothing, then you have another dream, and so on. If you wake up between
dreams you don't remember any. Only if you wake up during a dream, you
remember that one dream.

  The likelihood to wake up during a nightmare is much higher than with
normal dreams, for obvious reasons. If you tend to have nightmares, then
it's likely that you will wake up during one. If this happens often, you
get the impression that you have nothing else than nightmares. However,
it's just that you don't remember the normal dreams because you didn't
wake up during them.
