Elizabeth,
Me too. I've corresponded with several people or their spouses who have military or law enforcement background who are plagued with stressful nightly dreams and are striking or kicking out at would-be attackers or bad guys in their sleep. Thank goodness for clonazepam! One nurse in Washington had trouble with her husband kidney-punching her, thinking he was having difficulty handcuffing a combative suspect. Another man wrote to me to say he had awakened while choking his wife during a dream that he was back in the war. Clonazepam, self-hypnosis and spousal patience are the only things I know to suggest (well, separate beds in the choking case!). I appreciate your additional insights and experience. Do you experience any problems with apnea?
