I'm not sure how to read these phenomena.Yes raisinb it's only a symptom of narcolepsy, I've had both hypno's since I was a kid but I don't have narcolepsy. They're not always connected and can occur on their own. I too suffer from chronic nightmares and insomnia but as I said earlier clonazepam, nitrazepam and diazepam (not all at the same time) have stopped the worst of it. I also found my 1st piece of info about hypno's on wiki too, then found more on other sites. I still get them from time to time and I too used to wait for the voices because I knew that it meant sleep was coming. I would hear distant conversations and then bang I would be dreaming. It wasn't always a pleasant experience but you do get used to it.
ksyzysk, a sleep study looks at all kinds of things, because they measure your brain activity so closely, they might be able to pin point what is causing these nightmares. good luck. c
