Not Really Nightmares, But Bad Dreams!
This really isn't epilepsy or seizure related but I was wondering if any of you ever had bad dreams but not nightmares. Really just dreams that are really negative. My reason for this question is because I go through this a couple of times and when I do my wife wakes me up because while sleeping I do shout or just even talk in my sleep.

jonnyb I'm glad you are still getting on the same my 11yr old daughter is absolutely terrified it hurts so much
