Thread: Why is there so many dream negativity posts?

I have a hard time understanding why people would choose to 'incubate unpleasant dream experiences' i guess there's the curiosity factor, ive dealt with exploding head syndrome for years (It sounds ridiculous but its similar to sleep paralysis) as I'm trying to slip into unconsciousness, hearing loud bangs or crashes before sleep ,sometimes the sensation of a electrical jolt passing through head or body..it is 100% not cool nor do I believe it's something you can manipulate (there's some research it could be linked to 'mini seizures' or strokes but dont think anything is set in stone in medical community) ..anyway I definitely think physical pain contributes or shapes nightmares (for me it's ongoing back pain) I try to keep a positive outlook about dreams (before sleep) unfortunately most of my experiences aren't good
