^ If you take this word alptraum apart you will get

Alp and traum

Traum=dream
Mostly neutral or somehow sweet

And this mountains
Alp or correct German Die Alpen=The Alps

put them together alptraum you get nightmare

I remember I asked my father and grandpa why the German called nightmare for alptraum-and they could not tell me.
