    That I will scream in my sleep and have nobody to wake me up, and it’ll be embarrassing at minimum and maybe get the cops called at worst.

    The screaming part isn’t hypothetical, it happens pretty regularly.

      My wife has woken me up several times because I was saying “no no no no no no” in my sleep. It’s not loud enough to disturb anyone not in the room and I live in a pretty rural area anyway, so I’ve wondered in the past whether I did that with any regularity before I shared a bed with anyone.

        I assume it must be nightmares, but I usually don’t remember them when I’m woken up. I think it’s PTSD related, but who knows.

          Yeah I suppose nightmares can be like dreams once you wake up and eventually set your mind on something else you may forget what happened unless it was something that stuck with you.

          And as far as PTSD if that’s something you have then that must be the cause for nightmares thus making you scream with out knowing.
