No, it wasn't just a bad dream. Don't ignore that it happened and let the memory fade.
There's more than one cause for Night Terrors in adults. PTSD is a major one. The unconscious part of the mind usually bears the brunt of it from the shock of a major event. And when it does the imprint fades slowly (i look at the imprint as being like a new post-hypnotpic suggestion to be filtered out of awareness over time like any other. It was created because the shock of the event caused at least a momentary dissociation where the components of the mind were locked and the unconscious was exposed to direct suggestion by the event.
I know of another kind of event that can have symptoms extremely similar to Night Terrors. It can have the same symptoms as PTSD but no event that would seem to be related.
The event definitely exists but it's been hidden from the person's awareness. Not just because their mind wants to forget everything associated with it but because:
- It wasn't created through a person's normal senses (there's the high voltage power lines again)
- It's done at a subliminal level that's meant to avoid conscious awareness
- It was intentionally hidden from the person's awareness using techniques that are effectively hypnosis
Will provide more details here at some point.
