It only lasts 10 seconds or so. My specialist says its not a symptom of cirrhosis. She says it could be stress

Does anyone else have weird dreams ?
MY partner is experiencing weird dreams at night. Leaving him tired out and anxious. Not sure if this all part of the decompressed liver disease or medications or abstaining from alcohol? Is this normal?
