Nightmares, screaming, acting out dreams, kicking or punching, etc. could be REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. Your Neurologist would have to make that call. I would suggest talking to him about it and he could possibly have you have a sleep study done. As Dale said above there is medication for that.
Appointment set for May 1. Hope to get some more answers. Take care.
See your neurologist. They have medications for that.
