Well, since it was a nightmare, maybe the dead mother wasn't lying quietly and the next sentence will be how he dreamed that he got tangled up in her shroud when he was shocked to see the dead body move and tried to run from her, and awake he now finds himself still entangled in it (instead of his duvet), and the story is how the dreams have effects on reality, and so on.Shrouds are generally draped neatly over a dead person, not tangled around their twisted limbs.
Also, I'm not trying to create a literary text here, just noted how the example had not translated the dead mother and offered a solution. Because my question was about a dream of a dead mother, not a dream of a mother, and the reply omitted the dead part.
