ABSTRACT

It was not possible to identify any specific neurobehavioral correlates of recur­ ring nightmares in our review of the literature. Nevertheless it was evident that recurring nightmares are frequently associated with seizure disorder (Hy­ pothesis 16). The literature also pointed to a definite localization of the sei­ zure foci responsible for this disorder: Recurring nightmares indicate a dis­ charging lesion in the region of the right temporal lobe (Hypothesis 17).
