BACK TO SCHOOL SEASON MAY BE CAUSING NIGHTMARES

PASADENA, Calif. (Wireless Flash) – Have you dreamt recently that you’re late for school on exam day and can’t remember the material? You’re not alone. According to Kelly Bulkeley, professor of psychology at Santa Clara University, it’s one of the most common dreams and the “back to school” season may trigger it. He says dreaming mechanisms are sensitive to cycles and anniversaries, so even if you are no longer in school the Fall season may trigger a nasty exam dream. Bulkeley also says some people have the dream whenever they feel like they’re being tested in some other part of their life.
