Can children's dreams foretell events that will happen nearly 40 years into the future? Yes, according to the results of my latest study published in The Lancet's eClinicalMedicine journal.
More specifically, it showed that children who experience regular bad dreams and nightmares between the ages of seven and 11, may be nearly twice as likely to develop cognitive impairment (the core feature of dementia) by the time they reach age 50. And they may be up to seven times more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by age 50.
