Oh No!, Women suffer more nightmares..

Oh dear !

If you have spent any time sleeping with a female you would understand this
to be true as was my experience after 30 years of marriage. It goes without
saying that females find it impossible to switch off their emotions and even
while sleeping apparently but that's understandable as that's the was it
is..

So where does the "strong woman" and "supermom" or even "we can do anything"
attitude come into it without it having any affect on her ?

Women have been complaining (again) far and wide about the toll it has on
their health and wellbeing, living up to the feminist hyperbole (1.obvious
and intentional exaggeration.)..

Apparently not all is good in the "supermom or "strong women" department.
Now there's a surprise !..

Feminist Utopia insists on that outcome doesn't it ?

Rarely are we exposed to the truth. Women's health deteriorating (rarely
mentioned and if not totally ignored, exposed only when seeking more guvmint
funding), increased female violence, increase in drug taking of both hard
and prescribed drugs (again ignored) and ofcourse every opportunity taken in
today's media to demonstrate that all is well..

But we recognise b*ll*** when we read it so it's refreshing that on the odd
occasion we read that the victimhood specialist does actually have a minor
crack in that "we are better than you" persona..(pl. personas The role that
one assumes or displays in public or society; one's public image or
personality, as distinguished from the inner self.)

Note: another massive University study by the way, a whole 193 people
involved..

Continue with the (hand-wringing) angst delivery..

Note 2: Cannot have any article about women ofcourse without demonstrating
at least one imaginary male negative behavioural problem. But if she was
putting out instead hyperventilating all night it would make that disappear
would it not..

Women have more nightmares than men, study finds.

Women suffer more nightmares than men because they find it harder to switch
off their emotions at the end of the day, research has found.

They carry their worries into their dreams, and continue to process
emotional concerns while they are asleep, according to the study.

The findings came from a study of 193 male and female volunteers at the
University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol.

When asked to record their most recent dream, 19 per cent of male students
reported having a nightmare compared to 34 per cent of women. Their emotions
were recorded in diaries.

Jennifer Parker, a psychology lecturer at the university, who carried out
the study over five years, said it was the first to examine the difference
between women's and men's nightmares.

She said: "From our results it appears that men and women differ in the
frequency of nightmares - women have more - and women perceive those
nightmares to be more emotionally intense.

"I think that women use their dreams as a subconscious coping strategy.

"I believe these results show that women carry over their waking concerns
into their dream life more so than men do, and they appear to have more
difficulty with 'switching off' their concerns."

Her work found women's nightmares could be divided into three categories,
being chased or life threatened, losing a loved one, or confused dreams.

She said: "The interesting thing is, looking at the content of the nightmare
reports, men and women are experiencing the same things, but women are
experiencing them more intensely.

"Women had more unpleasant dreams than men and unpleasant dreams contained
more misfortune, self-negativity and failures."

Other research found women's dreams contained more family members, more
negative emotion, more indoor settings and less aggression than men's
dreams.

Men's dreams contained more references to sexual activity. Men reported more
actual intercourse, while women reported more kissing and sexual fantasies
about other dream characters.
