You're missing out dude. I love having nightmares. Mine usually manifest as surreal/morbid imagery, characters with dubious intentions, and dumps of uncomfortable feelings like tremulousness, fear, loss, frustrations and disappointment. It's a primal, yet innocuous, kind of experience that makes me feel alive and gives me something to talk about when awake.

I have the strangest dreams.
I remember one where I was in a classroom about to put in a DVD, but it had weird disc art.
Another featured the New Super Mario Bros 2 logo backwards and colored green.
And then another I had before Christmas was me playing Super Mario Odyssey in my parents bedroom, I was in New Donk City, and the ground was a blue grid.

Was there anything in particular that stuck to you for a while after waking up, or even for the rest of the day?
This question is not necessarily related to nightmares, though nightmares usually do the above in an intense way.

I don't understand. Are you asking if it affected my day?

Well, yeah! I once dreamed I was reliving moments with a friend who died irl. The entire next day felt... particularly cloudy and heavy. I reached out to mutual friends to reminisce about her.
This wasn't a nightmare, but I suspect nightmares operate on a similar basis. These may affect you on shorter term though, depending on age. Say you dream about cockroaches slowly filling up your room. Suddenly you feel them coming up from inside of yourself. You then wake up scared, and spend the rest of your supposed sleep time checking under your pillow for some of that slimy, stinky red-maroon horror.
yeah. i dreamed that.

Nightmares for me typically hinge on the following:
1. Natural disasters. Earthquakes appear. Thunderstorms are extremely common (I have astraphobia). Tornadoes are there even if tornadoes are not a threat in Los Angeles.
2. Family abuse. Though these days, I'm typically empowered enough to actually fight back and beat up perpetrators in my dreams. Sometimes I beat up even my sister in my dreams. I'd never do any of this shit in real life but you know. Dark Light even fucking rescued me in one dream I had with an abusive parent.
3. Shootings. Rare but they do happen.
4. Ray Trace fucking DIED in one of my dreams.

Rarely do I ever have nightmares but I often have dangerous adventure dreams. Usually involving me having to outwit predatory creatures or villains, escaping traps, detective work, or trying to undo being lost. But again, they don't turn into nightmares, ever since I became a lucid dreamer at a young age, my would be scary/creepy dreams have fail safes.
As to your question, it's uncommon, maybe even rare, to not experience nightmares, especially if this applies to when you were young because it's very common for children to have nightmares. But as we age, nightmares tend to occur less.

I wish I knew the key to lucid dreaming. If my memory was slightly more indulgent I would be able to count on two hands the number of lucid dreams I ever had.
When it happens, it's incredible. I can basically do... anything! Fly. Turn my dream over. Kill. (In self-defense, from the bad guys who chase me down at night and threaten to do the same, of course.)
It comes with a little drawback, however. As soon as it happens, I actively start wishing not to wake up. I become so wrought up about that thought that I eventually succumb to it and wake up with my dream cut short. It sucks.

Usually the moment I lucid dream is when I wake up lmao.
