There are things I have dreamed about in the past that have been mutlipied for the worse in the past. Claustrophobia and fear of darkness have been dealt with in my sleep and ended up causing panic attacks in my sleep or half sleep. It has affected the level which I deal with these things on a daily basis. Read my thread about sleepwalking for more clarity. Why hus this fear of closed in spaces and darkness stuck with me for so long and why is it still unshakeable.
