I have always been one to have vivid dreams, not just during pregnancy which tends to make your dreams crazy. But in general I have strange dreams and often wake up feeling like it was real. They arent always strange dreams, sometimes they are just so intense I wake up thinking it just happened. Somehow my boys have developed this gift, or sometimes I’d say it’s a curse, and it’s hard to explain it to a toddler.
A few months ago Caleb was waking w/ night terrors and sometimes was sleep walking, but that went away. This last week though he’s been waking after having dreams that seem so real to him that he asks us if we remember whatever it was that happened in his dream. We’ve been trying to tell him it’s a dream, and he seems to understand now it’s not real but I dont think he really knows what a “dream” is. I don’t doubt that Boaz is having some dreams too as these last few days I’ll catch him laughing a ton or smiling away in his sleep, it’s too cute. I wonder though what a newborn dreams about when they can’t see everything yet, so what exactly is it they see in their dreams? i wonder the same about Caleb’s dreams. I’d love to be able to get in their heads just once to get a glimpse of what is going on.
I know I had some crazy dreams these last few nights too so maybe it’s just in the air or something, but I wonder if being a dreamer is an inherited trait or if it’s truly an individual thing. Any thoughts on that anyone?
