About This Quote
The idea that nightmares are “fiction” is a common misconception. Nightmares are not only real but they are very frightening. They are vivid and can affect people in a very negative way. The idea of being trapped in a nightmare is terrifying because the fear of being trapped cannot be controlled. The worst part about this, however, is that the fear of being trapped in a nightmare will prevent you from sleeping at all.
