Now as an adult of 42 years I have matured into night terrors (I guess getting up and walking around takes too much exercise). <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is the same fantasy setting each time; dark cave with moss and water coming down the walls and spiders coming after me. What has me so concerned is that I can open my eyes and tell myself I am dreaming but the vision of spiders does not go away. My poor husband tries to rationalize with me and I become even more angry and determined. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We have learned that if we keep the bedroom illuminated these episodes do not occur. However, every time the room is completely dark they do. This can be a problem when we are away from home. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My question is: Why do my eyes still see the dream vision when my mind is telling me it\u2019s not there?
