Do you stutter in your dreams ? Because I do every night.

Do you stutter in your dreams ? Because I do every night. I stutter in all my dreams with such extraordinary intensity. My stutter is much worse than in real life. In my dreams, every word is strangely painful and hard to pronounce, so much that my voice changes in a wide range of colors and tones in every sentence. In my dreams, I find myself immersed in tense situations where I have to solve conflicts between people or between someone and myself. I always have the impression that the characters are not listening to what I say, so I start screaming all my sentences. Then my boyfriend tells me that I shout during my real-life sleep. I do shout every night for real in my attempts to talk to the people in my dreams. Do you think I should consult a therapist to talk about these dreams/nightmares? Do you also experience these dreams? Maybe not so often? Or do you simply stutter in your dreams too ?
