i have recently been researching into dreams, nightmares and night terrors.. i find them extremely interesting so i'd like to hear your thoughts and ideas for why they are what they are..
i have extreme nightmares rather frequently, so at first i thought they were night terrors but after researching the subject i found that they probably aren't. have any of you ever suffered night terrors? if so how did they effect your life? and i'm also really interested to know if anyone knows any theories on dreams or anything like that.
thanks
mel

no..night terrors are rarely found. if you have night terrors than you have a disease of some sort. similar to sleepwalking, it makes you do stuff in your sleep. there was a case about a man who drove many (i believe hundreds) miles to kill his mother in law under the influence of night terrors. apparently people can have superhuman powers, stronger when they're asleep. cuz there was another one where this man jumped from the bed and hit his dresser. and then some people jump out their window.
freaky stuff..man
umm...i can only think of a few theories right now and one's from crazy Freud:
dreams are merely an interpretation of your desires (aggressive and sexual)
dunno who this one is from:
someone else says dreams are just a form of cleaning out your system.
*me i don't believe either of them.
