Don't Go to SleepThis Haunted LifeHost: Adam BerryIntroductionWhat happens when the comfort of bedtime turns into a place of terror? Adam introduces the world of nightmares—dreams that linger into waking life and sometimes even seem to come true.Act 1: Where the Nightmares BeginWe explore the science of nightmares: why we dream, how they affect children and adults differently, and what happens when bad dreams become a chronic disorder. Adam also looks at how therapy and treatment can help reclaim peaceful sleep.Act 2: Real Nightmares from Real ListenersListeners share chilling stories of nightmares that eerily echoed real-life events. Were they warnings, coincidences, or something stranger? These stories highlight the mysterious boundary between dreams and reality.Act 3: In Sleep, Something Wicked This Way ComesAdam examines reports of shadowy figures, ghostly presences, and other terrors experienced at night. Could these be paranormal visitors, or are they terrifying hallucinations brought on by sleep paralysis? Folklore and science offer different answers.Act 4: The Waking Nightmare She Saw in a DreamOne listener recounts a disturbing nightmare on the eve of a historic tragedy. Adam reflects on her story and connects it with his own memories, showing how nightmares can intertwine with moments that change the world.Act 5: Dream a Little DreamAdam shares a personal nightmare from childhood that haunted him for years. In confronting this dream, he reflects on how sharing our fears can sometimes take away their power.Support the Show: Join our Haunted Life Patreon www.patreon.com/adamberry to get behind-the-scenes content, exclusive Q&As, and connect with fellow Hauntees.PLUS first access to “This After-Life” - a companion YouTube podcast where we explore each episode in more detail with special guests and have all the fun to be had!
