[QUOTE="shutterbunny, post: 32556, member: 3568"] Yes, this sounds much like my son. husband used to say, look he's angry even in his sleep. Because difficult child had a huge grand mal seizure a year ago (we almost lost him, stuff MY nightmares are still made of) I keep the baby monitor on at all times (perhaps when he's in highschool I'll turn it off [img]:hammer:[/img] ) and we hear him screaming several times throughout the night...generally it is "NO NO NOOOO" or "Mommy, Daddy, no, stop" and then crying. It is very hard to listen to and if you wake him, half the time he doesn't know that he's been dreaming, other times if you wake him he needs so much reassurance and he'll refuse to go back to sleep...the nights are still tough at 4. It used to be he'd refuse to sleep (even at 2 months old, he refused to sleep), now he'll go to bed early but his nights are restless. The dreams he has remembered are generally about mummies or witches or robots...always chasing him. He does have imaginary friends. He has his "raccoons" and his "skeletons." I believe he chose skeletons as a way to "scare" off the bad guys in his sleep, but that's just my theory and I could be wrong. I'm sure you are right and asking him about them may only make him dwell on them more, so perhaps I'll rethink that. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
