This is interesting. My Dad has for a long time had wild dreams in which he flies, fights wars, etc. And approx. 5+ years ago, he flung himself out of bed and broke his shoulder. I used to envy his vivid dreams ... now, maybe not so much! He was diagnosed a year ago and started on paroxetine (mentioned in RBD link posted above) and gets very little contiguous sleep... I have printed a copy to bring up when we see a movement disorder specialist on May 5. Sounds like a LOT of things can come together to inhibit sleep....
