Weekly Filet #85: Deadly Nightmares. And more.
This week's top recommendation
A man is found dead in his apartment, having hanged himself. The creepy part: It might have been an «accidental suicide», committed while sleepwalking and experiencing a special form of nightmare called night terrors. In a brilliant and captivating article, Doree Shafrir, who herself has had night terrors for quite some time, explores what night terrors are, why people have them and what can be done about them - always driven by the looming question whether dreams can really kill you.
