Bedroom Battle Royale

Over the past two weeks, I seem to be having more vivid dreams than I have before.  I'm not sure why they my brain has decided to kick into overdrive lately but it has an adverse effect in the bedroom.  The dreams are so livid that I wake myself up, which in itself isn't that big of a deal.  The real issue is that I have begun moving involuntarily in bed because of the dreams.  Last week I kicked my wife (I was playing soccer in the dream) and last night, I accidentally smacked her in the head. In my dream I was in an argument and the man I was arguing with took a swing at me...I went to block (in the dream) and caught my wife in the head.

Thinking back the only other time anything like this has happened was when we first moved into our house, I was stressed about my job and one night, in the middle of the night in a dream state, I ripped open a pillow (in the dream I had to find a key for a file cabinet at work, in the pillow).  My wife also says that I talk in my sleep during times of stress.

I don't feel stressed, but add up my sleep ju-jitsu, acne breakouts and headaches - and apparently something is causing me some issues.  Hopefully it will all end on Labor Day - when my job ends its full season, and moves to weekends only.

So - another thing to research and look into - stress relief, and maybe even boxing gloves!
