Results indicate that 98 percent of subjects (486 out of 495) reported experiencing one of seven subtypes of dream-enacting behavior at least rarely in the last year.
Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) appears to be a predictor of neurodegenerative disease in more than 50 percent of cases, according to a recent study
