Which of the following is NOT true about nightmares? [originaltext] Nightmares

Nightmares are common in preschool and elementary-school children. Kids often dream about being chased or falling from great heights and then are startled awake just before being caught or hitting the ground. Most children outgrow their nightmares, however, and the latest research suggests that if nightmares persist, they could be evidence of a deeper problem. Chuck, now 20, was still having regular nightmares as a teenager, but instead of facing down monsters, he was confronted by social rejection. In one familiar scenario, he was naked at a party that his academic adviser happened to be attending, and he remembers feeling " very exposed and vulnerable". Now a college student in Memphis, Chuck still has nightmares. He was also recently diagnosed with schizophrenia. It turns out that nightmares and psychosis may be connected. Psychotic experiences, which include delusional thoughts and auditory and visual hallucinations, are usually nothing to worry about in young children, who often have trouble distinguishing between reality and make-believe. During adolescence, however, such experiences are more unusual and may be a sign of burgeoning mental illness. Chuck’s first clinically significant schizophrenia symptoms came out at 18, when he began to suspect that his friends were informing on him to school administrators. He also started thinking he was being watched 24/7 by cameras in his dorm room, and by the time he was 19, he was " hearing voices all the time". One early hypothesis was that people who develop schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders are higher in a personality measure known as " transliminality" , meaning that their border between sleeping and waking states is more fluid than that of other people.
