According to a myth, who has more nightmares?

“According to a myth”? What kind of authority for a question is that?

I don’t necessarily think children is the total answer. We all dream & have nightmares. It’s just that children wake up more from them & retain the memories. You can train yourself to remember yours.

I have psychic dreams. They're terrifying. Having sight into the future is awful. Not just mentally, but physically, it's exhausting and draining. I have some form of PTSD disorder from these visions I've had since childhood. Doctors write it off as psychosis and narcolepsy, but I've always felt I enter another world while experiencing what is called a sleep attack. I experience an extreme body temperature drop, loss of motor skills, lack of awareness and other bizarre sensations before having a vision. Sometimes the visions occur in a state of sleep paralysis, which are even worse. The topic of dreaming is so vast and intangible I doubt we as humans will ever grasp it.

Molly - I so sorry about your nightly nightmares. They're horrible things! I have them sometimes. Awful!

Molly, l wonder if Stephen king was like that. he wrote so many scary books.

I frequently remember both dreams and nightmares I had as a child and still do as an adult. Depending on who you listen to or read there are different interpretations of them and their meanings, some say they are visions or glimpses of what could be others will say it’s their subconscious. I was told never to eat cheese before going to bed because I would have nightmares…myth or reality without eating a block of mature cheddar or Stilton I guess I’ll never know!!

Cat Mom, Blinky, sounds awful & I wish you luck!

Amber, We all feel deeply worried and sorry for this many people will also experience this as well not alone on that seeker challenge trust me I'm one ! their you Go. my one is exactly so close to what you described I'm counting the timer down I would preferably like to land somewhere above flames and skulls but not too high up with wings , Angels and phoenix Dragons to Gates of H3aVen I'm uncertain on what ?

Uhhh. Correction it's scientifically Proven and Found it well isn't a myth the slightest re-check you're mislead Studies it's clearly proven Chrildren have a significantly high amount of Dreams followed by nightmare in adults and development and maturity the figures are reduced by a third you're dumb . mega time

There are many books on dreams which I find very helpful, including "The Dream Master" by Harold Klemp.

Amber, I have the same problem. was diagnosed with night terrors, a result of early childhood trauma. can be hard to deal with, for sure, even as you get older.

Bonnie , I agree. We all have nightmares..

Player #25971981, "Sarah" said, 6 days after your comment, that she has the exact opposite thing with more dreams now in her 60s

Blinky, Sounds awful & I wish you luck!

BlueEyedAlien, I thought the same thing! Well, the 1st question anyway

IVE HAD PSY HIC NIGHTMARES TOO, ALTHOUGH NOT FREQUENLY. I FEEL FOR YOU! I know it feels. some of mine Re recurring .

All of us have strange dreams and some dreams comes true.I do know the dreams are from our brain that never sleep. While we sleep our bodies have to have rest.

When I take a break from hooch, on the first night I always have scary dreams about dogs that want to shred me.

Sometimes are good dreams sometimes are nightmares haha as a child and now 20

I dream every single night. Wake up, go back to sleep and the dream continues. Even when I take a short nap. And I remember my dreams. Sometimes I am not sure if something really happened or if just dreamed it. I have no idea how to stop this!

I’ve never heard this “myth” that children have more nightmares than other people

I have more frequent nightmares now in my 60s than ever before.

Amber, hoo boy.

Amber, check out hypnopompic/hypnogognic hallucinations. explains some of your experiences.? esp the sleep paralysis.

I think dreams and nightmares are at all ages, it just depends on the person if they retain any memories of them. I've been working to NOT remember my nightmares. Maybe someday I will sleep for more than a couple hours. I empathize with all who are having nightmares, night terrors, psychic visions, and more. It's exhausting 😪

Do dreams subside as you age?? I used to have many vivid dreams in my younger years but now, in my sixties I don’t have any.

Wtev. I had one just last night & then a few more & I'm 45. I think as adults we have more things to worry about that we have to process/work out in our dreams. So my theory is that adults have them more, but we just can handle them better & tend not to talk about them.

Amber, how frightening this must be.
