Stress is a major factor. High levels of stress from work, relationships or financial problems can seep into the subconscious and trigger nightmares. Also, certain medications might have side - effects that lead to disturbing dreams. Trauma, whether recent or from the past that has not been fully processed, can manifest as nightmares in adult stories.
In some cases, environmental factors play a role. For example, sleeping in an uncomfortable or noisy environment can make it difficult for the mind to relax fully during sleep, which may lead to nightmares. Additionally, exposure to horror - related media such as scary movies or books shortly before bed can influence the dreams and cause horrible nightmares in adults' stories as the mind is still processing those disturbing images and ideas while asleep.
Engaging in positive self - talk and visualization before sleep can also be helpful. For example, imagining a peaceful and safe place while repeating positive affirmations can replace the negative thoughts that might lead to nightmares. Another approach is to limit exposure to disturbing media, especially close to bedtime. If nightmares persist, it might be necessary to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
In the fanfiction, it could be related to her powers. Since her powers are a big part of who she is in the AOS universe. If she's just starting to understand and control them, it might be causing her subconscious to be in turmoil, thus resulting in nightmares. Also, her relationships within the team could be a factor. If there are conflicts or unspoken tensions with her colleagues, that could play out in her nightmares.
One common cause is excessive drinking, like in the camping story I mentioned earlier. When adults have too much alcohol, their bladder control can be affected. Another cause could be extreme tiredness. For example, the guy at the slumber party was so worn out that he just couldn't hold it. Also, certain medications might sometimes lead to this. But it's the unexpectedness of it all that makes these stories funny.
Disease can also be a factor. If a disease spreads among a flamingo flock, it can lead to the death of many, leaving behind those who have lost their friends and family members, which is truly sad.
Well, in some erotic stories, premature ejaculation might be caused by hormonal imbalances within the character. Just like in real life, if the hormonal levels are off, it can affect sexual function. And sometimes, the relationship dynamics in the story play a role. For example, if there is a power imbalance or an overly dominant - submissive relationship, it could create a situation where one partner ejaculates prematurely due to the intensity of the situation.
One cause could be excessive alcohol consumption. Alcohol can suppress the body's natural ability to hold urine, leading to bedwetting. For example, someone who drinks too much at a party and then passes out may wet the bed.
One possible cause is a small bladder. Some kids are just born with bladders that can't hold as much urine as others. For example, in some bed wetting stories, the child wakes up wet because their bladder simply filled up before they could wake up to use the toilet.
One possible theme could be self - discovery. Adults often find themselves in a new situation after an 'exit' and start to explore who they really are. Another theme might be freedom. They have left something behind and now experience a sense of liberation.
In some stories, it could be due to food poisoning. If a girl ate something contaminated, her digestive system could go haywire. Also, physical activities like running a long distance without prior bathroom use can lead to such a situation. Sometimes, not listening to the body's signals to go to the bathroom and then suddenly being unable to hold it any longer can also be a cause.
Miscommunication is also a factor. Sometimes people say things without realizing how it might be perceived, which can lead to humiliation. Like if someone makes a joke that is taken the wrong way.
