Creating and Accessing Session value in any Controller Laravel 5.8

I have two controller viz Dashboard Controller and Notification Controller

I am creating a session in Dashboard controller as follows

session(['freshLogin' => 1]);

And accessing this session in Notification Controller as follows

$value = session('freshLogin');

But $value in Notification Controller is returning null. When I access the session in the Dashboard controller itself I get the correct result

I referred the following answer but it didn't help
