Was bedeutet "unruhig aus Träumen auffährt"? Ich werde mich bald in derselben Aufregung befinden wie Thadden, der des Nachts unruhig aus Träumen auffährt, die ihn in den Landtag versetzten, und bei Tage das Essen darüber vergißt. Was bedeutet "unruhig aus Träumen auffährt" und "bei Tage das Essen darüber vergißt"? Could somebody help translate this sentence? Vielen Dank! by the way, why "das Essen" is Nominative here?

Vergessen verlangt den Akkusativ. Er vergisst das Essen (=Akkusativ - Was vergisst er?) Bei weiblichen und sächlichen Substantiven sind im Singular Nominativ und Akkusativ gleich.

I will soon find myself in the same state of excitement as Thadden, who wakes up at night uneasily from his dreams which are about him being in the state parliament and during the daytime he is so anxious that he has lost it. Thadden seems to be worried a lot about the state parliament so that he is literary excited/anxious day and night about it. At night he wakes up from nightmares in the state parliament and during the day he is so absent-minded (due to the stress that this problem causes him), that he forgets to eat (this is a metaphor meaning someone is very absent-minded because his thoughts are so diverted.
