    RBD  sounds interesting.  What if the person, in this case a child of 9 yrs. is somewhat awake or walking about and talking, -Is that related to RBD?

    I have a 16 y/o with violent dreams always of spiders and snakes that he acts out.  Screaming,  running, jumping,  he brings us into his dreams and trys to protect us,  Sometimes actually jumping on us or grabing us trying to get us out of harms way.  He has never had a espisode with a spider or snake to cause this and have been having them since about age 2.  What is he having?

    Dear Allen,

     

    I'm currently working on a short film: documenting and exploring Rem Behavior Disorder.  I was wondering if you would be interested in being part of this projet.  I will like to do an interview and go a little further into the sudject.  A man who suffered from RBD do to a very traumatic experiance in his chilhood, had a mental brakedown, and as a result was given shock therapy treatmets that led to his suicide in the late 70's-and that was the inspiration for the project.  Hope to hear back from you: santoscortesatyahoodotcom.

     

    Thank you for your time,

     

    Santos.
