A nightmare last night Having a cup of tea, I remember a nightmare last night. In my dream, I drove my car and happily chatted with my friend who often go to work in my car. “Red light “ my friend screamed at me. I put on a brake at once but it’s too later. Waking cold and Shaking from the nightmare, my heart was beating fast! The horrible dream was the same as what happened in real life. It’s too real!

I had A a nightmare last night OR A nightmare I had last night

I was having a cup of tea, when I remembered a nightmare I had last night. In my dream, I drove was driving my car and while I happily chatted with my friend who often go to work in my car carpools with me to work. “Red light “ My friend screamed at me, "Red light!" and I immediately braked put on a brake at once but it’s was too later. Waking up I woke up feeling cold and was shaking from the nightmare. My heart was beating fast! The horrible dream was the same as what happened in real life. It felt too real!

Remember to connect the past simple continuous with the past simple when telling a story. "To carpool" is a verb we use for people who ride together in the same car to go somewhere (typically work). Also, the verb "to feel" is really good when we talk about something real or something imaginary. Good work - it's a scary nightmare indeed!

A nightmare last night

Having a cup of tea, I remember a nightmare I had last night. In my dream, I drove my car and happily chatted with my friend who often go goes to work in my car. “Red light! “ my friend screamed at me. I put slammed on a the brake brakes at once but it’s too later late. Waking up cold and Shaking shaking from the nightmare, my heart was beating fast! The horrible dream was the same as what had happened earlier in real life. It’s too real!

[If this didn't happen in real life, you can write "The horrible dream was so realistic, as if it were happening in real life". "Were" here denotes the past subjunctive, which means it is NOT happening in real life and is very unlikely to be happening in real life.
