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

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.

This obstacle seems to be not that big,
if you can stop any body movements as you wake up
and just try to focus on tracing the dream details backwards
from the last you remember.

I prefer to modify my dreams if I don't like them :-)

Imagine this: You're sitting in a kind of temple or church, made of all
black marble with plenty of golden decoration; you're touched by the
beauty of it, and are free to focus on details as you like. And all the
while you're like, "Gee, I want to remember this so that I can model it
in POV-Ray!"
Nothing terrifying in that - to the contrary :-)
