Would you be willing to have horrible nightmares every night for a year if you would be rewarded with extraordinary wealth?
No, I wouldn’t. Nightmares can drive people crazy. What’s fun about being insanely rich if you’re driven insane in the process? Though, I guess if you have a lot of money at the end of it, you’re not crazy, you’re eccentric.

No. Unless that extraordinary wealth meant I could do a LOT of great things for society in general, then maybe.
I have a nurse friend that went on a medical mission trip several years ago. Apparently one of the vaccines she took had a side effect of weird/scary dreams. She said living in cramped conditions in a boat on the Amazon in summer conditions was easy compared to the whacked out dreams she had to deal with for several weeks beforehand!
