Have Nightmares About Being Tortured, Scratches On Leg, Taking Synthroid. Need Help

Welcome to XXXXXXX forum .
Yes , I completely understand what you are going through .
This phenomenon is called dissociation where a person feels out of his / her body and seems to witness the happenings which are not real but delusions of mind.
Yes they do seem real to you and you may experience Pain, anxiety , fear associated with the incident . However though not real it's not just a nightmare and can occur in various psychological or psychosomatic illnesses like anxiety , panic attacks , delusional psychosis or sleep disorder . For the best treatment and syptomatic relief you need to consult a therapist or a psychiatrist to confirm the diagnosis and start appropriate management .
Please do not worry as this can happen to anyone and can be cured with appropriate treatment .
So please do not hesitate to consult your doctor even if this occurs only during sleep . The earlier treated the better the prognosis .
Hope I have answered your query.
I'll be available for any follow up queries.
Kindly accept my answer if you have no further queries.
Regards
