Nightmare....no. That is the most cliched way to end a story. That'd be a middle finger to the audience to lead them into believing that everything happened as stated only to then pull up the rug to say "Ha, ha! Got ya!" I loathe those types of endings in which the story is revealed to be nothing more than a dream. Any speculation that you could have had about the story is meaningless because none of it mattered in the first place.
