What’s Your Biggest Nightmare?

For me, and it’s not even close right now, it’d be any of the Democrats running for president winning. Thankfully I do think that’s little more than a dream currently. In terms of actual nightmares that don’t include redistribution of what you’ve worked for, to those who do nothing, we have a study that’s determined the type of nightmares we most commonly fear. A study of 2,000 people by Amerisleep found that our most common nightmare is...Falling. 

About 65% of us have had nightmares in which we’ve fallen. The other top-five nightmares behind falling were being chased, death, being lost and being trapped. All in there were 32 nightmares that at least five percent of us have experienced. That’s a lot of night time trauma. But those are averages of both genders. There are very specific gender differences. The top nightmare of men is a technology crisis and for women is death of a loved one. Those differences help illustrate that nightmares are a manifestation of traditional gender differences. 

So, what’s your biggest nightmare? I already told you mine.
