One problem compounds another! Old age, possibly accompanied by senility, seems to increase this type of paronoia, [my personal experience in taking care of my elderly parents}. Add hypnogogic hallucinations, and wow what a problem. My own narco.halluc. were alleviated by taking a mild tranquilizer at 6:p.m. and another at bedtime. This helped with the terror type of nightmares, not the frequency. But in the aged, tranquilizers can affect their stability and could lead to falls. Talk to a Dr. first, and test this idea with him. Good Luck!
