Sexsomnia (Sleepsex)
Using 11 case studies as a basis for their research, Shapiro, Trajanovic & Fedoroff (2003) use the term sexsomnia to describe a sleep disorder where people have been found to inititate sexual acts (masturbation, intercourse with partners or even sexual assault) while asleep. This complex behaviour appears to originate for most in nonrapid eye movement sleep but can occur at any time during sleep and can last for more than 30 minutes. Sexsomnia is different from sleepwalking in the sense that arousal is automatic, the person’s motor activities are more specific and restricted and a form of “dream thinking” is also likely to be present.

Geomagnetic Activity and Dream Bizarreness
Lipnicki (2009) reported an association between local geomagnetic activity (GMA) and the bizarreness of dreams. Lipnicki analysed the dreams of a young adult male which were recorded over a period of 6 1/2 years. Dreams were self-rated for bizarreness on a 1–5 scale. At the lower end of the scale (1), dreams would be normal and representative of what would happen in reality. Dreams that were rated 3 could possibly happen but were unlikely. Dreams rated 5 and considered bizarre would be dreams that had no connection with reality and could never happen.
Lipnicki found that on days of low geomagnetic activity dreams were found to be significantly more bizarre than the dreams that were recorded on days of high activity. Continue reading

Dream Journal Entry: 20th December 2009
I find myself walking down a hill in a housing estate. It is late at night. As I get near the bottom of the hill I notice that a hedge is on fire. I run over and can see that it is in fact not the hedge that is on fire but a sun lounger near the hedge. I quickly run down to the swimming pool which is in the middle of the garden and start gathering water with my hands. I throw some water on the lounger which has no effect and only ignites the lounger next to it. I can see that the hedge is now also on fire. Continue reading

I find myself stuck in a lift with a work colleague. I look down and I can see a lizard has attached itself to my leg. I remove the lizard to reveal a large green vein.

I find myself sitting on a pavement. I think to myself I would like to live in Manchester. I then realise that I am in fact in Manchester. I stop a man in the street and tell him that Manchester is a good place to live if you are a student. Continue reading

I watch myself skateboarding on TV or in a flash movie. I seem to be performing dangerous stunts and falling over however I never see myself injured. The image fades into another and I wake up.

Dream Journal Entry: 28th October 2009
I am walking with my father and we discover an old building. There are some paving slabs lined up against a wall which look out of place. I accidently knock one over and and this starts a domino effect and slabs start smashing and falling all around us. We decide to run. After a while I stop and I look into the distance. I can see three Rangers fans walking around the grounds. I therefore believe the building to be a masonic hall or Rangers supporters club. The Rangers fans see us and run toward us. We start running again. Continue reading

I watch a dog give birth to five large dogs outside on the street as it walks. I stop and tell the dog to lick the other dogs.
