I really wish he'd stop using the word "maw". He overused it all through the latter parts of the Cycle, and he's not doing himself any favours dragging it out again here.
The nightmares are collectively called drumroll the Maw. I'm not making this up.
That would require more self-awareness than I suspect he possesses.
He has little self awareness in his stories or writing, but in other places I'm quite surprised. He knows how he bombed with Eragon/Arya, he knows how Eragon has a bunch of technical failures. He has admitted that Brisingr was unplanned. I think he just doesn't admit a lot of this in interviews out of shame or pride. However, he lacks the skill to improve.
