Points for a novel EA Forum topic! I also have pretty horrific nightmares pretty frequently, and have also lived a relatively good life/have nothing in my conscious lived experience that seems like it would be producing these. (Luckily I’m almost never enacting harm on people I love though—that’s a level above, I’m really sorry that you repeatedly go through that.) Many of my nightmares essentially seem like they could be scenes from horror movies, but I don’t watch horror movies (ever, at all) so this is pretty bizarre. I have actually considered trying to sell some of the images and events from my nightmares to horror filmmakers, though I haven’t figured out exactly how I’d go about this. If I ever manage to do it, I will consider donating my profits to your potential future nightmare-prevention charity :)
Ha, that’s great, points for a novel earning to give strategy. Some of the stuff that happens to Dream Drew would not be out of place in a Rob Zombie film or the Saw franchise, so I see where you’re coming from.
When watching shows or movies now I usually look away from anything even a little gory out of fear that the images will find a way into my dreams.
