Of the few topics I am researching, todays is in regard to Child Psychology and this article comes from a resource recommended by Dr. Preston in an email conversation we had the other day as I was clean out of ideas.

This article from the University of Warwick is about the relation between child nightmares and the rate of psychotic traits in children. There obviously must be a relation because they can affect each other creating a snowball effect. The quote that really grabbed my attention was, "... according to new research that shows that children reporting frequent nightmares before the age of 12 were three and a half times more likely to suffer from psychotic experiences in early adolescence." this is an astonishing fact and definitely requires further study in order to find a treatment, improving the lives of the children affected.
