Please could someone  help me with this. I had a nightmare  it was horrid The population was being gassed and everyone I loved was in the entry of a old house I used to live in. All lying down huddled together waiting to go sleep forever. I remember feeling very drugged like when you have a local anesthetic in my dream.When I woke up I felt so nauseated and felt like everything happy and good was sucked out of me I felt emotional, tired, drained, achy couldn't even speak properly the whole day. Like I wasn't even in my own body. I’ve had plenty of nightmares that have stuck with me for days even made me emotional. This was surreal! Never in my whole life have I experienced anything like that!! Almost like the gas had actually poisoned me TIA xx

That sounds absolutely terrifying. I’m really sorry you went through that. Some dreams don’t stay in the dream. They spill over into the body. When a nightmare hits that deep, your nervous system can react as if it really happened. Nausea, heaviness, feeling unreal, exhaustion. That’s a stress response. Especially if you woke up mid-fear. It doesn’t mean you were actually poisoned. It means your body stayed in survival mode. Be gentle with yourself. Eat something small. Drink water. Ground yourself in simple things. If this keeps happening, or the dissociated feeling lingers, it’s really worth talking to a doctor or therapist. You’re not weak. That was intense.
