Vivid dreams
A nightmare is a dream that occurs during sleep that brings out strong feelings of fear, terror, distress, or anxiety. Nightmares usually happen in the second part of the night and wake up the sleeper, who is able to remember the content of the dream. Vivid dreams are dreams that seem quite real to the dreamer.
