The peddlar does suggest that may be the problem. That does not mean we actually are unused to all the aether - peddlars aren't always right about everything after all.
In fact, we aren't especially susceptible to high concentrations of aether. The 'nightmare' was more like a vision due to being Chosen by Hydaelyn.
