Man kills wife during one of his nightmare dreams
Author: Willow // Category: Dreams Interpretation, Nightmare, dreams, sleepA man suffering from a rare sleeping disorder reportedly killed his wife during one of his nightmare dreams after he decided not to continue with his antidepressants.
According to reports, the man believed that the medications were affecting their sex life which led him to discontinue the process.
59-year old Brian Thomas strangled his wife, 57-year old Christine while they spent their holidays in Wales.
Court documents revealed that Thomas stopped taking three drugs, including one which controls his vivid dreams.
Prescription drugs expert Dr. Paul Skett said that Thomas would experience nightmares if he won’t continue taking drugs. One of the antidepressants is said to control Parkinson’s Disease while one of the drugs stops rapid eye movement sleep.
The defendant is seeking a not guilty verdict because of “insane automatism.” The defense attorneys stressed that the marriage lasted 39 years and there’s really no reason why Thomas would maliciously kill his wife.
