Don't fret - it's only a flashback. Probably Celestia thinks that forcing Twi to live through the Nightmare War from her POV would teach her something important. Or maybe she's just trolling her 'faithful student'... again. :-P

Seriously, listen to Luna/NMM's words. Everything she says sounds like she's talking to Celestia, not Twilight, but Celestia isn't there! Additionally, the backgrounds look like the Everfree Castle, not Canterlot. Everything suggests that this is a flashback to how Luna originally became Nightmare Moon. Maybe Celestia wants Twilight to have an object lesson on the responsibilities of power...

Maybe it also means that, one day, Twilight may face her own Nightmare Moon. Apropros of that, where is Sunset Shimmer and has Zecora verified that the Alicorn Amulet is secure recently?
