I have a long history of nightmares. I've had them all my life with a period of really bad night terrors from about the time I was 7 until I was around 16. My parents would find me in various parts of the house, a couple of times outside screaming violently and saying something was after me. When I was really young I used to have auditory hallucinations. Not voices necessarily but I would always sleep with the radio on really low next to my head to drown them out. But that stopped about the time I hit puberty and hasn't happened since.

In my adult life I've always had weird, very realistic dreams. I also still have nightmares. I tend to have a lot more nightmares when I am manic. Super intense realistic ones.

Does anyone else experience this? If so have you been treated for it? I also wonder if it's a possible sign of some other psychological disorder and that maybe I should talk to my doctors about it.
