The difference between a scary dream and a nightmare
I'm really confused about this.
I am pretty easily scared in real life, and I don't really handle horror movies so well, but I'm not really sure about nightmares. I've had a huge amount of scary dreams, I think, but you know how every feeling is always a lot stronger in dreams? I have been really scared or anxious in several dreams and it feels much worse than in real life, but what would it be like if it was a nightmare?
Or have I misunderstood everything and nightmares and scary dreams are the same things?
