> Distressing dream frequency was assessed using item 5h of the PSQI: “During the past month, how often have you had trouble sleeping because you have bad dreams?”. No definition of bad dreams was provided.

So, this really looks like "poor quality of sleep is a good predictor of dementia" which isn't too novel.
