and
cry
out
in
my
sleep.

Oh no! He is crying
and
groaning
from
a
nightmare! Wake him
up!
Inopayo rin talabi, mo-ya lamang namalamado
kang lagi.
I nearly
had
a
terrible
nightmare last night, it's a good thing
that I was able to wake up right away.
Some people believe that if a person is groaning in his sleep it is either
because he is having a bad dream and can't breathe or because he
is having a heart attack. One should always wake the person up or
he might die. For this reason people do not like to sleep alone. To
wake them up just call them, don't touch them or they could die.
Some also believe that if a light is turned on before waking up a
person who is having a nightmare, they will die upon waking.
