It also appears that they have a single ex that they have built an entire blog on, which leads me to wonder who the unhealthy one in the relationship actually was.
I once shifted dramatically from needing at least eight hours of sleep and still feeling constantly tired, to only needing about five hours. What caused that change, was the same thing that got me an entirely new perspective on psychopathy which has bettered my life every day since then. I now consider myself somewhat in the same "team" as psychopaths, even though I think I can safely say that I couldn't be diagnosed with psychopathy even though my life depended on it. I am dying to communicate my insights about this experience of mine, but it is quite expansive and complicated, so I am still working on simplifying my story so I can tell it.
But this list that you are debunking is hilarious, totally chaotic and obviously not a work of a grounded and knowledgeable person.
Just a sideline about neurotypical dreams generally: Dreams have an emotional tone. Sometimes the topics and content can be pretty intense and, technically, very disturbing, but the tone is such that they don't unsettle, and they can be ignored and dismissed as just 'brain clearance'. On the other hand, sometimes the dreaming brain has a strange ability to both concentrate and combine emotions to an intensity beyond that which is experienced normally in waking life. It can be overwhelming and the emotional mix requires some unpacking. Waking from such a dream can be pretty unsettling, and the effect can stay with one for days. Those are the dreams that are telling you something.
There was something that they claimed a long time back, that psychopaths dream in black and white. It isn't true, but to give you an idea of how long ago this was thought, black and white TVs were the norm. A lot of people dreamed in black and white because of that, but for some reason, it was applied to psychopaths. It has since been dropped.
Negative emotions are physically draining, too, so I'll bet physical recovery is one aspect of it.
But sleep science theorizes that sleep serves several functions. Sleep may enable consolidation of memories. Hard to personally verify that theory. But i think most NT's would agree their emotions are tied into their sleep patterns.
It can go beyond needing extra sleep. During rough times ones dreams can be very noticeably and qualitatively different from the usual. The brain is clearly doing 'housekeeping'. If ones lifestyle allows, following the erratically timed and overall greater sleep needs can be helpful.
Man! I am guessing this is the nearest a psycopath can get to Venting Spleen! All good, and all valuable. I do not I understand the need to attribute psychopathy to people in ones own life. I have met hundreds of people and so some of them must have been psychopaths, but I have no idea who they were.
Possibly. It is also possible that she is ascribing things to her ex that are in her imagination. Quite commonly when I have discussions with people that write things like this, it is very obvious that they themselves have a great deal of toxic functioning, but they project it onto their ex partners.
Fucking hilarious Athena I’m glad I checked this out good job I’m going to make an account just so I can subscribe to this shit your blogs are better than the days of our lives for a sad fat girl.
I recall in my late 20's having someone really get in my face about something and I laughed at him. He then shifted to making accusations that I "wasn't a real man" or something because I didn't get angry. Fine, I did I thing I've since called the Gargoyle. That was amusing.
Anyway on smell, for awhile I had associated the smell of a Subway sandwich with a severe bout of food poisoning I suffered from but that seems to be gone now. No more association. go figure
It appears, on first glance, that they are confusing MNPD with psychopathy.
This appears to be a common occurrence.

That is quite interesting
The sleep thing sort of makes sense tho. One of the functions of sleep is psychological processing, which is mostly processing unpleasant emotions.
When I was still emotionally reactive, I needed 9 or 10 hours a nite. The last 3 years, it's only 6. I think the reduction is due to equanimity.
That's interesting. I didn't know that.

I am going to think on this information a bit.
Psychopathic dream content, has this been researched?

RNA
More specifically, it was believed that all dreams were colorless.
A dream hack:
Take a high dosage of B12 just before sleep, it increases RNS synthesis and so doing it can invoke colored dreams.
Note that if you are already taking B12 it won’t work, because you have acclimated to the effect.
Need to take a break for a few weeks.
Yes, very true. When you are dealing with a lot, your sleep needs can be greater, and the sleep filled with crazy nonsense 'just processing" stuff.
Wow, I just thought it was for physical recovery.

Hm, now that is even more interesting.

The author talks about malignant NPD and not about psychopathy.
