“…Findings from the narrative synthesis were consistent with the meta-analysis, demonstrating significant associations between nightmares and BPD in clinical (Lloyd, Overall, Kimsey, & Click Jr, 1983) and community (Claridge, Davis, Bellhouse, & Kaptein, 1998;Lereya et al, 2016) populations. Furthermore, although preliminary, there was evidence for a prospective association between nightmares and BPD symptoms over both short and long ) periods of time.…”

“…Again, associations appear independent of comorbid depression. Complex associations between trauma, nightmares, and BPD are indicated (Claridge et al, 1998;Lereya et al, 2016;Semiz, Basoglu, Ebrinc, & Cetin, 2008). Recent prospective evidence suggests that nightmares could exacerbate reactions to early trauma increasing risk of subsequent BPD .…”

There were few significant differences between BPD and clinical (majority depressed) control groups. Conclusion:BPD is associated with comparable sleep disturbances to those observed in depression. These disturbances are not solely attributable to comorbid depression. Given growing evidence that sleep disturbance may exacerbate emotional dysregulation and suicide risk, treatments for BPD should explicitly address sleep problems. Future studies should utilise prospective designs to ascertain whether (and in which circumstances) sleep problems predate or follow the onset of the disorder.

“…As stated earlier, most psychiatric conditions comorbid with nightmares implicate elevated levels of affect distress: borderline personality disorder Claridge, Davis, Bellhouse, & Kaptein, 1998), dissociative symptomatology as measured by the Dissociative Experiences Survey (Bernstein & Putnam, 1986;see Agargun, Kara, Ozer, Selvi, Kiran, & Kiran, 2003;Levin & Fireman, 2002a;Nielsen, 2005;Watson, 2001) and self-reported histories of childhood traumatic events, particularly physical abuse .…”

“…Three independent investigations (Berquier & Ashton, 1992;Blagrove et al, 2004;Zadra & Donderi, 2000) demonstrated significantly higher levels of neuroticism as measured by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ; Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975) for individuals with frequent nightmares compared with controls. Similarly, Claridge, Davis, Bellhouse, and Kaptein (1998) reported a relationship between EPQ neuroticism and nightmare distress, although they did not assess nightmare frequency. No comparable relationships were reported for the EPQ Psychoticism scale in these studies, again suggesting that nightmares are associated with global maladjustment based upon symptom reporting rather than a specific pattern of pathology.…”

Nightmares are common, occurring weekly in 4%-10% of the population, and are associated with female gender, younger age, increased stress, psychopathology, and dispositional traits. Nightmare pathogenesis remains unexplained, as do differences between nontraumatic and posttraumatic nightmares (for those with or without posttraumatic stress disorder) and relations with waking functioning. No models adequately explain nightmares nor have they been reconciled with recent developments in cognitive neuroscience, fear acquisition, and emotional memory. The authors review the recent literature and propose a conceptual framework for understanding a spectrum of dysphoric dreaming. Central to this is the notion that variations in nightmare prevalence, frequency, severity, and psychopathological comorbidity reflect the influence of both affect load, a consequence of daily variations in emotional pressure, and affect distress, a disposition to experience events with distressing, highly reactive emotions. In a cross-state, multilevel model of dream function and nightmare production, the authors integrate findings on emotional memory structures and the brain correlates of emotion.Keywords: nightmares, distress, neurophysiology of fear memory, posttraumatic stress disorder, psychopathology Nightmares are the most common form of disturbed dreaming. Vivid, with emotions escalating at times to the brink of terror, they are manifestations of the dramatic autonomic and cognitive fluctuations that can arise during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and, under certain circumstances, during Stage 2 sleep. Nightmares can be simple and benign or so emotionally severe that they beg for comparison with psychotic episodes (C. Fisher, Byrne, Edwards, & Kahn, 1970;Hartmann, 1984;Sullivan, 1962). Occasional nightmares are almost ubiquitous in the general population. However, frequent distressing nightmares are more common than generally thought, affecting 4%-10% of individuals by conservative estimates. Nightmares are also extremely common following trauma exposure. Posttraumatic nightmares may depict traumarelated content and, in cases of chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), may at times replicate the trauma with great distress (for review, see Mellman & Pigeon, 2005).There has been a proliferation of experimental work on posttraumatic and nontraumatic nightmares in the past 15 years, the vast majority of which has examined the psychopathological correlates of individuals with frequent nightmares. Furthermore, recent advances in neuroscience have greatly expanded our understanding of dreaming and related brain functions (Maquet, 2000;Maquet et al., 2000) as well as the pathogenic mechanisms implicated in fear conditioning and the development of PTSD (LeDoux, 2000;Ohman & Mineka, 2001). However, despite the clear implications of these developments for understanding nightmares, there are still no comprehensive models of nightmare etiology and no conceptual frameworks for understanding the link between posttraumatic and nontraumatic nightm...

“…Although nightmares are perhaps best known as a defining symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder, they are also the key feature of nightmare disorder, which has many significant comorbidities (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Nightmares are associated with symptoms of anxiety (Haynes & Mooney, 1975; Hersen, 1971; Levin & Fireman, 2002; Nielsen, et al, 2000; Zadra & Donderi, 2000); depression (Levin & Fireman, 2002; Nadorff, Nazem, & Fiske, 2011); schizophrenia (Hartmann, 1981; Hartmann, Russ, Oldfield, Sivan, & Cooper, 1987); dissociative disorders (Agargun et al, 2003; Semiz, Basoglu, Ebrinc, & Cetin, 2008); borderline personality disorder (Hartmann, 1981; Claridge, Davis, Bellhouse, & Kaptein, 1998; Semiz, et al, 2008); and, even suicidal behavior (Cukrowicz et al, 2006; Nadorff, et al, 2011; Sjöström, Hetta, & Wærn, 2009; Sjöström, Wærn, & Hetta, 2007; Tanskanen et al, 2001). Thus, it is clear that disturbing dreams are common in many different types of psychopathology.…”

This study investigated the relation between generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and frequency of bad dreams in older adults. A secondary analysis from a randomized clinical trial comparing cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety (CBT) to enhanced usual care (EUC), it assessed bad dream frequency at baseline, post-treatment (3 months), and 6, 9, 12 and 15 months. Of 227 participants (mean age = 67.4), 134 met GAD diagnostic criteria (CBT = 70, EUC = 64), with the remaining 93 serving as a comparison group. Patients with GAD had significantly more bad dreams than those without, and bad dream frequency was significantly associated with depression, anxiety, worry, and poor quality of life. CBT for anxiety significantly reduced bad dream frequency at post-treatment and throughout follow-up compared to EUC.
