Night Terrors

[alias]

I'm pretty sure E had a night terror last night.  It was the weirdest, saddest, creepiest thing ever.  I do not like.

yeeaaaaah. these are no fun. hopefully it'll pass. i hear that kids who have them, are meant to have them, and have them "regularly", but bjl only had it once or twice.

Yeah, I read stress can cause them. There is a lot if tension in our house right now, so that makes me feel bad.

Hang in there. Kids are so resilient, it very well may be because he's working on a milestone (walking?). I'm not sure if I had night terrors when I was little, but I have had vivid, lucid dreams (sometimes nightmares) that I often remember clearly in the morning for as long as I can remember and I haven't had any negative affects in my life, so maybe this is just something he will experience throughout his life and has nothing to do with anything going on around him.

i also have very vivid dreams every single night...it used to be my "thing", every single morning, i'd sit on the school bus and tell my bff about my dreams..always crazy, jumping from one place to the next, nothing that really makes sense in reality....nothing negative, just a bonding experience since bff and i still talk about my crazy dreams.

i *still* find it strange that most people do not remember their dreams everyday.

hang in there, though. we all know you're doing the best that you can...whenever i get stressed about something like this..i take a step back......how crazy are our parents?? and we turned out to be mostly functioning adults....
