You know how you feel when you wake up after a bad nightmare — heart racing, sweaty, kind of jittery and freaked out? Sometimes I just wake up feeling that way, not rested at all, as if I had a nightmare but can’t remember what it was about. Anyone else experience this?
Yeah my nightmares can be pretty vague and non-sensical so I often only remember that I was scared
I get that a lot. It’s only rarely that I remember mine.
Yes, sometimes. Usually I remember them vividly, though.
Yes. More often, I do remember it but when I think about the details I don't understand why I found it scary.
I have woken up having a panic attack and I know something in a nightmare triggered it, but I can't remember. I only remember dreaming the couple of "seconds" before I wake up and it's enough to know it was a nightmare but nothing specific.
My boyfriend says I wimper in my sleep, but I don't always know what I was dreaming about. So I often wake up knowing I had a nightmare but I don't always remember it.
Of course I also wake up after some regular dreams and don't feel like I was asleep or got the rest I needed.
