Hi Susan, yes I agree, i think I have a sleep disorder. After posting my post, I stumbled across a sleep disorder on the internet called REM sleep behaviour disorder. It is when a person acts out their dreams. 'Normal' people when they go to sleep, their muscles kind of like paralyse where mine do not, so I respond to the dreams that I am seeing. This is all news to me. I am booked in for a sleep study next Saturday, so i will be interested to see if my self-diagnosis is correct. To answer your questions, my nightmares/episodes mostly occur within the first few hours of going to bed, but i have been known to have them at all hours. I remember exactly what I have dreamt, like it was actually real. I hope something can be done about them, because after nearly 20 years of these nightmares, I have had just about enough!!! Thank you for your post, Susan.
