I don't remember. I haven't had a real nightmare since I was a kid. Unless you count sleep paralysis. Then it's always the same. I freak out that I don't know if it's sleep paralysis or I had a stroke and I want someone to wake me up to be sure it's just sleep paralysis.

@CrazyMusicLover what is sleep paralysis?

@LILY61 Being half awake - half asleep in a certain stage of sleep, either when you're falling asleep or waking up. You basically hallucinate because you are aware of where you are, you see the room around and you think you are awake but you're still dreaming and your muscles are paralyzed so you can't move. It might appear like it's day in the room while in reality it's night and that there's someone else with you in the room when in reality you're all alone etc.

@CrazyMusicLover i used to get that alot and now it never happens any more. i used to wake up from werewolf attacks and find myself being beaten to death by Frankenstein's monster and then wake up again and not quite ever believe that i was awake
