I agree that in many cases it does make sense for dreams to be repressed wishes. However, I question if nightmares "come out when a person is in a safe enough environment to have these thoughts occur." Instead I would argue that nightmares would be more likely to occur when you find yourself in an environment that you do not feel safe. When your brain/mind is caught up in thoughts that upset you, it may be harder for it to protect you from your fears or to disguise your wishes. Therefore, the uneasiness and distraction coming from a place you do not feel safe in causes dreams to be less censored and become nightmares.
