Personal experiences with the name Drema

Drema is my name. I was born in 1958, so I've had it for 58 years. In my lifetime I've only met one other person with this name, however she spelled hers "Dreama". I received a fair amount of teasing when I was younger regarding my name, the most frequent being called "Nightmare", however the teasing never really bothered me. As I've grown older, I've come to enjoy having such a unique name. Especially the fact that it is almost never forgotten by others. It feels somewhat special to always be remembered by other people.
