This has nothing to do with your question, but it's interesting that you talked about nightmares. I have nightmares every night because my pain is invading my subcontious.
For example, I have had nightmares (after watching the discovery channel, lol) that I was bitten by a snake in the arm. The pain eventually wakes me up and I realize that the pain in my arm is from my discs, but it was shaping my dreams. It is horrible. Everynight a new nightmare. I know it is coming but there is nothing I can do to make it better because there is nothing that I can do about the pain.
My latest dream last night dealt with chest pain from my thoracic area. I dreamt that I had been shot in the chest and was dying. As I was about to die I woke up to the horrendous chest pain that I was feeling in my nightmare. It is so miserable.
