My friend has this on going condition where she has these strange dreams. They vary a bit but what they all have in common is some sort of bright light and a feeling she is being strangled. She says whenever she has a dream like this she experiences an overwelming sense of fear and gets a strange tingeling sensation all over her body when she first wakes.
She thought it might be sleep apnea but the tests came back negative. My friend said she thinks it's something physical that may be happening to her body when she is sleeping which may be triggering the strange dreams. Anybody heard of anything like this?
Thanks

i haven't heard of anything like this, but it makes me wonder if she might do herself some good talking to a councelor. i work with children that have behaviour, physical and mental issues and except for the children with the physical issues, the other children tend to talk of strange re-ocuring dreams and after having an opportunity to talk with someone/myself about things tath are happening in their lives...good and bad, their dreams seem to get nicer and not repetative....hope that this might help as a suggestion to your friend and i hope that she wil soon see some more relaxed and enjoyable dreams soon.

Dreams can create all sorts of strange sensations. She should be very clear with her doctor about what is happening. It sure doesn't sound like sleep apnea. But if she is really concerned she could talk to her doctor about doing an MRI.

well, i guess you could look up night terrors. apnea was a good guess. sleep studies sometimes fail to find the problem, as it is difficult to replicate the symptom in laboratory conditions, so don't throw out the apnea idea completely.
she should try avoiding caffeine, not eating at night, considering allergic problems, getting regular exercise, and fixing dietary problems in general. but i am pretty much at a loss for good advice. sorry, good luck!

I've never heard of anything like that...but have you tried to watch her sleep...a little creepy but stay up and watch her when she sleeps. She might snore and that causes breathing problems...

since we are made of atom's and all atoms split it may be her twin in an opposite universe. Some believe we live their lives when we sleep.
