6 year old daughter having nightmares

MY DAUGHTER IS 6 YEARS OLD AND SHE IS A VERY NORMAL SWEET LITTLE GIRL. SHE IS A GOOD STUDENT, VERY SOCIAL AND HEALTHY. SINCE MARCH WE HAVE TROUBLE FOR HER TO SLEEP ALL NIGHT. WE PUT HER ON HER BED AT 8:00 PM, BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS SHE WAKES UP VERY PALE AND SCARY. SHE SAYS THAT SHES WAS HAVING A NIGHTMARE OR THAT SE IS JUST AFFRAID OF BEING ALONE. BUT WHEN SHE SLEEPS WITH HER GRANDPARENTS, BROTHER ( 8YRS.), OR WHEN DADDY IS ON A BUSINESS TRIP AND THEY STAY WITH ME, SHE DOESN´T WAKES UP AT ALL. I´M VERY CONCENED ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I DIDN´T HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH MAY SON. COULD YOU GIVE SOME TIPS TO HELP HER?
THANK YOU

Have u tried putting a fan or something that makes nose in her room so she doesnt hear popps and house noises at night...My son (9 years) tends to get scared if he heres them..they tend to wake him up at night.....and he does better sleeping alone with the fan on but she might like soft music or something.  It sounds like she doesnt have this problem when she is sleeping someone because she feels safe and the noises might not be so threating with someone in bed with her....hope her sleep habits get better...Happy dreams to her...
