Violent dreams: Diagnosing REM sleep behavior disorder

My late partner never mentioned having bad dreams, but he did flail around during REM sleep, he once hit himself in the face and threw me out of the house because he though I hit him. Sad to say he did develop Lewey body dementia, he had it for years, but the early symptoms could be mistaken for tiredness, forgetfulness, or just bad judgment. He wasn't formally diagnosed until much later when his driving became erratic, and nothing I said seemed to sink in or he'd deny doing anything wrong. I never realized the trashing around during REM sleep was a precursor to dementia.

I think i have that. I now sleep in a bed tent on a air mattress. If i see myself headed to Dementia i will just OD myself. Taking Melontona now. Hopefully it helps

I deal with this I’m 40 years old it’s haunted me since I was about 20. I’ve never been to a doc for it and it’s scary. The only thing that’s helped me in marijuana I think it’s because cannabis stops rem sleep idk .I think because I don’t dream when I smoke or eat edibles. I only started using medical marijuana when I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis about 5 years ago. I’ve recently stopped using mmj and it come back ten fold I really need some help I’m scared to sleep in my own bed.

So I started my first job at subway and there has been stressful days. I go to the gym after work and get home very tired and sometimes just go to sleep. I find myself sometimes dreaming about making a customer a sub but I somehow feel tired in my dream. I struggle to keep my eyes open in my dream. Then I actually open my eyes in reality and I’m sitting up in bed searching my blanket for bread. This sounds crazy but it’s really true, it’s not the first time.

I have been dealing with this for the past few years and I’m crying because I’ve been doing a lot of research trying to find out about my sleep habits, i feel like my doctors aren’t able to help me

I have this happen to me once in a blue moon and last time it happened I punched my wife in the face in my sleep hard and I woke up after and realized what I just did and felt so bad and I'm 30 and first time I had a violent dream was when I was 21 and I hit her as well I feel so bad the two times I did it but she said I will regularly yell at ppl in my sleep like an argument with my brothers or her or even like a dream where I'm yelling at my mom in my sleep like I'm a kid yelling at her to leave me alone or I'm not gonna clean my room weird random dreams and sometimes they are so vivid the dreams it's like I'm seeing the person I'm yelling at in the room with me

Well dam, i mean bless his heart that's awful, but how did acting out a dream cause him into being pretty much catatonic?

"Don't waste time. Don't waste time. Don't wait. Don't wait. Don't wait."

I kicked the hell out of my bed once in my sleep, hurt like hell

New fear unlocked

I have this disorder but I'm not violent

If marijuana was fully legalized then there would be a lot less of these sleep disorders. I used to sleep walk as a child and as an adult almost froze to death outside in the winter. Having THC edibles before sleep will suppress REM and you'll experience more 'normal' dreams instead of the violent emotional ones. I'm not saying weed is a cure-all but I don't injure my wife or myself when it's in my system.

I don't know if there's a genetic component to this disorder but I've always had intensely vivid dreams and acted them out in some way, and my father has always had the exact same experience.
Even in a 30 minute nap I'll have at least one dream. they're often confusing and sometimes involve seemingly living out someone else's life in excruciating detail, making friends and enemies, falling in love, losing loved ones...Sometimes it means being self-conscious in the dream about potentially acting it out in real life, or simply having a direct conversation with the subconscious.

I've been on melatonin for it and it doesn't really do anything. Also had a sleep study done, but apparently since this disorder is one of the rarer parasomnias it's not tested in the most efficient way...so there's that.

Lol had one of these dreams last night it went like this I was cycling my bike and there were 3 younger boys riding behind me ( I got told by person in dream these are bad people lol) and they catch up and one pulls out a knife and I feel sharp intense pain in my side (obviously I've just been stabbed in my mind) so I leap off the bike while stil cycling and land directly with my hands wrapped round his throat and smash his head Into the pavement thinking I'm about to be killed... these dreams happen every night lol don't remember them at first either always comes back to me a few hours later like a flashback

My partner got chocked by me, I started to strangle him and want to sleep with anger, I don't remember any of that. All I knew was he was wide awake and couldn't sleep... I'm honestly worried, I'm very upset

I had this when I was 9 till I was 12 I smoked weed once and it stopped forever not eating this will help u but I please do try even oils would love it to help more like me

She says, when he's having a bad night, she'll sleep with him, keeping a hand on his shoulder. The last place you want to be, if he's having a bad night, is sleeping beside him. You might wake up with a fist to the face. I know from experience.

Omg me! Anyone else jump out of bed, throw your pillow, jump on the bed, turn lights on, talk to people who aren't there, or see things that aren't there?

Don’t waste time being evaluated don’t wait because if you’re diagnose there’s nothing that can be done

Who’s here from vsauce

I just want to stop seeing the violence. The blood, gore, and begging for death that I spectate are too much.

SVD?!
