發夢期間出現夢遊 - 快速眼動睡眠行為障礙 (RBD)

發夢期間出現夢遊,甚至睡眠暴力行為,是快速眼動睡眠行為障礙(RBD),對於成年人和老年人,也是情緒,壓力過大,甚至柏金經症的預兆和指標。不要小看這種夢境失調!







正常人不會因為夢境裡打人,就起來打人,不會因為夢境裡逃跑,就起來跑。雖然是睡眠狀態,甚至深度睡眠狀態,我們的某些神經系統仍處於活躍狀態,抑制我們在發夢中的行動能力,保護我們,不會亂來, 但如果大腦的神經系統出了問題,就會將夢境的活動變成真實的動作:包括說話,大喊,衝,踢,坐,從床上跳 起來,手臂揮舞,亂抓,或跑出來,任何夢中的情況,都會在快速眼動睡眠行為障礙中出現,導致受傷和生命危險。

除了藥物治療,做夢境治療,解夢過程,通過疏解壓力,釋放情緒,是其中一個有效的方法,也是源頭治療,因為大部分都是噩夢導致,噩夢不會無緣無故來找我們,是來提醒我們,關注自己的心理健康,解除心結,解除噩夢的源頭。

以下個案,可以對夢境治療有些了解,特別是關注老人的健康。

1) 2015年去老人院的那次探訪。我和姑丈解夢,疏解了他的憂心和對死亡的恐懼。當時我寫下這篇文章:

2) 從睡眠暴力,看夢境健康,身心平衡

老人噩夢,夢中暴力,包括激烈的語言暴力,不僅反應心理的狀況需要被聽到,去解決,極大的壓抑需要被釋放,同時反應身體狀況,如大腦病變,退化,失去夢中人應有的自我控制的能力;

夢境與身心健康,又一證明!

樂女士(圖)66歲時確診RBD,曾夢到在馬路邊跑,最後從牀上掉下來;又曾夢到想踢走東西,最後踢至「腳趾尾」斷骨。她說當時每晚睡不安寧,也沒安全感,故在牀上設了一條安全帶。中大專家指此舉不恰當,因有在睡夢中被纏頸的風險。 (中大醫學院提供)



 【明報專訊】柏金遜症無藥可治,全港約有1.2萬患者。中文大學醫學院研究發現,便秘是柏金遜症的早期先兆,通常在發病前20年出現,而發夢期夢遊患者的直系親屬,罹患柏金遜症的機率是健康者直系親屬的5.9倍。中大學者提醒,運動及保持良好睡眠質素或可延緩柏金遜症發病。

發夢期夢遊又稱為「快速眼動睡眠行為障礙」(RBD),患者會在發夢期作出與夢境一致的暴力行為,例如拳打腳踢、翻滾叫喊等,甚至會令自己或枕邊人受傷。樂女士在66歲確診RBD,確診前4年出現「夢境演繹」,曾夢到在馬路邊跑,並從牀上掉下來,又曾在夢中因想踢走東西,最後踢至「腳趾尾」斷骨;至近年她有便秘問題,並確診柏金遜症。樂女士的兒子去年亦出現RBD症狀,其妻投訴睡夢中被他打至臉腫。

 「發夢期夢遊」屬指標 病發前5至15年出現

 中大醫學院內科及藥物治療學系腦神經科主任莫仲棠解釋,RBD是柏金遜症獨特的指標,通常於柏金遜症病發前5至15年出現。中大聯同另外3間大學早前做全港首個RBD家庭研究,調查102名RBD患者及其404名直系親屬,以及89名健康者和387名直系親屬,結果發現RBD患者直系親屬患柏金遜症風險是健康者直系親屬的5.9倍。

 中大醫學院精神科學系主任榮潤國稱,這次研究同時確認便秘(一周大便少於兩次)是柏金遜症的臨牀前期症狀,通常於發病前20年已出現。他提醒,若一個人作息健康,但出現突如其來的便秘,加上零星動作遲緩、嗅覺不靈敏等,若排除大腸癌等疾病,則可能是柏金遜症先兆。

 中大精神科學系助理教授張繼輝說,現時沒任何方法完全預防或根治柏金遜症。他解釋,目前有一個「腸-腦軸病因」假設,即腸胃裏的微生物或細菌出現變異,或令一些不好的蛋白質經過迷走神經上到腦幹,甚至中腦。當中腦黑質細胞功能喪失約四成至八成,便引致柏金遜症。

 張繼輝續說,黑質細胞功能一旦喪失便不可逆轉,團隊正繼續另一項研究,盼找到當中關聯,從而了解預防柏金遜症的方法。他建議高風險市民多做運動,因為在流行病學理論中,運動能減慢腦部退化,另也應該改善情緒及睡眠。

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

Normal sleep has two distinct states: non-rapid eye movement(NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. NREM sleep is divided into four stages. During REM sleep, rapid eye movements occur, breathing becomes irregular, blood pressure rises, and there is a loss of muscle tone (paralysis). However, the brainis highly active, and the electrical activity recorded in the brain by EEGduring REM sleep is similar to that recorded during wakefulness. REM sleep is usually associated with dreaming. REM sleep accounts for 20%-25% of the sleep period.

In a person with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), the paralysis that normally occurs during REM sleep is incomplete or absent, allowing the person to "act out" his or her dreams. RBD is characterized by the acting out of dreams that are vivid, intense, and violent. Dream-enacting behaviors include talking, yelling, punching, kicking, sitting, jumping from bed, arm flailing, and grabbing. An acute form may occur during withdrawal from alcohol or sedative-hypnotic drugs.

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD)

When does RBD occur?

REM sleep behavior disorder occurs when the brain fails to send a signal to your spinal chord which would render it temporarily paralyzed when you drift into REM sleep. Since REM is the stage of sleep in which you dream and also exhibit similar brain wave patterns to your waking brain, if your body doesn’t shut down your limb functions your brain controls your body as if you were awake. This potentially means talking, yelling, running, flailing or any other physical activity that you might be dreaming about.

Can it be treated?

RBD can typically be treated with prescription medicine which eliminates the behavior a majority of the time. Even with proper medication it is a good idea for an RBD sufferer to make their bedrooms a safe environment in case they have an episode. If you were having a nightmare about defending yourself or your family against some kind of agressor, you wouldn’t want a weapon laying around for you to grab and unconsciously flail around at the imaginary agressor.
