I have nightmares every night. But then, I have a strange relationship with sleep. I have sleep apnea for one thing so I have to wear a machine called a cpap (sort of like a respirator). But I also have restless leg syndrome which is a way of saying that I do a lot of twitching in my sleep. But my favorite is that whenever I'm trying to go to sleep I hit one point where my whole body jerks and I'm sitting upright clutching at my chest. It's like being hit with a hammer.

So, in light of all of that, I guess I'm not surprised that I have nightmares. They are usually not trauma related.
