....I can't tell if i'm being trolled or you're a giddy loser... well done.
No, it is absolutely not proven. ;)
But the reasoning would be that psychopaths are too dead inside to come up with stories. Thing is, even if that was true, I don't connect creatity with dreams. Dreams are just random memories and concepts triggered to sort of form a line of events.
I think this idea might stem from Thomas Sheridan. He is quite an interesting guy.... He is a psychopath hunter so to speak, but probably one himself. No better way to hide in plain sight... LOL.
Probably. Friend of mine snores more than I ever heard another woman snore. She does not dream in REM state though (confirmed by sleep study). The only dreams she has are non-REM dreams. Come out you can dream a little then as well but no action dreams, more one event quiet dream or thought dream.
But she is not a psychopath, she had serious head trauma as a child.
The inability to dream, not just remember your dreams, is an actual condition frequently caused by damage to the brain, and often by stroke. Persons who do not dream wake frequently through the night, and despite having slept for 8 hours wake feeling exhausted. Lack of REM sleep is detrimental to one's health. If you do dream but do not remember it none of this symptomology arises.
Sociopaths do dream and may frequently wake without remembering. I have occasional dreams which are frequently very vivid. Most of my dreams are nothing more than a single feeling and a few images, occasionally I do have dreams that play out like a story and those are generally extremely bizarre. The other night I had one. I was with my younger brother. We were robbing a house together. We've never even talked about doing something like this together, and we rarely even talk now.
