RBD is a neurological sleep disorder in which we ‘act out’ our dreams.  This means that we will perform the actions that we dream. It usually occurs in the early hours of the morning when we get most of our REM Sleep.  Patients often remember vivid dreams with violent or distressing content.  They may talk, shout or scream.  They may flail their arms or legs, punch, kick out etc., and may injure themselves or their bed partners in the process.
