> Heh heh -- "diagnosis: dropped on head as child." :-) Jumping out of bed (fortunately not a bunk) was a common thing for me too -- my dreams weren't nightmares per se, but they were action-packed and had a lot of chase scenes. So in my dream, I would be chasing somebody or being chased, and in real life I'd leap out of my bed, at which point I would wake up on the floor.

Elizabeth,
I wonder how many other babblers had these "active" dreams. I wonder if this is common for people who have conditions such as ours?
Hmmm....
