What kind of nightmares do you have? I actually don't have bad dreams that would wake me up being afraid. Sometimes I do wake up as a consequence of a dream but once I am awake I am not scared. There are sometimes dreams that I am being chased and cornered and then I wake up but still that is not a nightmare because I was not scared during nor after it.
I have, however, had a few nightmares. Twice when I have had a high fever. One is that when I was a child and being sick there was a glass of water next to my bed. The dream was that I picked it up and held it high above the floor. Then I let go. No real reason for me to do this but I did, but the glass would not fall. It would simply hang in the air. I was horrified because I did not know what to do. The glass should fall, break and make a mess but it fefuses to do so. I'm too scared to try to pick it up and put it back on the table. I can only look at the unnatural glass horrified.
Another, also when I was in fever, was that I had tiny pebbles, which would break in half and expand in size if they came in contact with each other. They were given to me in a small matchbox. I could not open the box, but I know that since the box is so small they will touch each other and expand and fill the entire universe if I moved the box at all.
