In 1985 in England. Colin Kemp, 33, went to bed with his wife, after which he had a nightmare. He was in the jungle, being chased by two Japanese soldiers. One had a kn!fe and the other had a gün. When the man was caught up, a fight broke out: one of the soldiers jumped him, Kemp grabbed him by the throat with both hands and began strangling him. At the same time, a second soldier shot Kemp, and the man woke up in a cold sweat.

To his surprise, he found his wife showing no signs of life. Kemp tried to wake her up and suddenly realized he had strângled her in her sleep.

The court found the man not guilty, explaining what happened by the term "night terror. In this state, a person who has a nightmare is able to move around the house, perform complex actions and even k!ll someone if he is threatened in the dream.
