[edit] Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence...

... or at least an actual citation.

I have removed this, adding by an anon IP in November:

"BBC Focus magazine reported in 2005 that a man who stabbed his mother-in-law to death, whilst apparently still asleep, was acquitted of her murder after doctors confirmed he had been suffering from RBD. The man apparently had no idea he was "acting out" his dream until he awoke, despite having driven miles to the house of his Mother-in-Law in the middle of the night, letting himself in with a key, eating food from her fridge before killing her and driving home afterward. This landmark ruling shows that the consequences of RBD can be severe enough to have profound effects which affect those around sufferers almost, if not more, severely."

This is pretty extraordinary stuff. If it's true, all good - I'll bet it was reported widely and we can find a cite. Until then, it doesn't belong on the main article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.173.9.90 (talk) 14:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
