I don't think so. But if you find out what the dream symbolizes it will go away. Usually nightmares come from a fear you have that is as simple as talking in public, to being romantically turned down, etc. Now if you had a major trauma then OK it could be PTSD, you be the judge.

Not necessarily. PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) is a reaction to an (usually violent) event in your life. If the nightmare is a version of something that actually occurred in your life, then it might be a sign of PTSD. If you think this might be the case, start by relating the dream and situation to your primary care physician who can refer you to a psychiatrist if necessary.
