A member asked:

Lately listening to dubstep or old time music before bed has been causing me to have really bad nightmares is normal and what could be causing it?

The music: Is triggering something that you associate either consciously or unconsciously with bad things. The effect could be unrelated to anything you can think of and may just be the result of the way in which this music stimulates your brain. Read Oliver Sachs book Musicophilia: tales of music and the brain to understand this phenomenon. The effect is different for each person and changes over time.
