**'''Nightmares:'''A nightmare is a very distressing dream which usually forces at least partial awakening. The dreamer may feel any number of disturbing emotions in a nightmare, such as anger, guilt, sadness or depression, but the most common feelings are fear and anxiety. Nightmare themes may vary widely from person to person and from time to time for any one person. Probably the most common theme is being chased. Adults are commonly chased by an unknown male figure whereas children are commonly chased by an animal or some fantasy figure. In the case of Tabitha, she has a recurring nightmare which involves her being trapped in a dark room. Her voice is silent, and she hears her father's voice trying to tell her that it is all her fault that he is dead. She also expriences burning sensations on her body while in the nightmare. | |||
