Psychology Today says that some common symptoms from nightmares are, “being oriented and alert instantly upon awakening and repeatedly waking up with detailed recollection of long, frightening dreams that center around threats to survival, security, or…
“Dreams feel real while we’re in them. It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange”(Cobb).

I communicated my dreams to my mother and I was interested in signing up…
