from my experience, it's normal. when i have nightmares where i am physically harmed which causes me to instantly wake up, i will sometimes still feel the pain. one time i had an anxiety attack in a dream, which i have never had in real life, but the anxiety in the dream was so much i forced myself to wake up, yet i still had severe anxiety for a good hour after waking up, for no reason since i knew everything was perfectly fine.
Is it normal that a nightmare made me physically ill?
