Any of your toddlers have nightmares?


Jun 27, 2022, 11:19 AM

Our little dude has very vivid dreams it seems, making nightmares all the worse. We're thinking of getting him a tap light on his bed that we can teach him to hit when he wakes up scared, but curious if you lot had other methods.

Particularly interdasted in RHTig's methods.

Not really. Our oldest though would wake up


Jun 27, 2022, 11:23 AM

and be talking out of his head. We figured out he was still asleep and dreaming, although he was awake. We finally figured out a way to wake him. Make him go in the bathroom and pee. Like clockwork he would snap out of it and realize he was awake. But before that he would be 100% locked into whatever dream he was having. It was freaky. Like he's be saying "The door...the door needs to be OPEN". We'd say the door IS OPEN. And then he would say no, the other door. What other door, and he'd point to the wall facing the road.

LOL. Yes. That would be a good freak out.


Jun 27, 2022, 11:24 AM

But interesting method. I'm wondering if the light could be a similar "snap out of it" like the bathroom trip. There are definitely some times when he breaks into hysterics that we can tell he's very disoriented and maybe still trapped in the dream.

Lights had no impact.


Jun 27, 2022, 12:01 PM

Lights could be on bright, and he could be standing there in his room, or in the hallway, or wharever, for several minutes, and still be in his dream. Something about peeing snapped him out of the dream. It stopped and only happened maybe a dozen times or so. But peeing seemed to wake him from the dream when talking, lights, and nothing else would.

I use to when I was a toddler.


Jun 27, 2022, 11:29 AM

They were so bad I can still vividly remember them at 37 years old.

It's like I was in a different dimension.

The worst one was 30 witches who lived in tree houses in


Jun 27, 2022, 11:56 AM

the forest held me there against my will. It was terrifying.


At 37...I'd probably get aroused.

Try waking him up slightly


Jun 27, 2022, 11:40 AM

when you guys go to bed. Sometimes will interrupt sleep cycle progression that can lead to night terrors

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sounds like you need a new kid.


Jun 27, 2022, 11:42 AM

I would recommend selling this one over seas for cash (don’t tell them about the sleep tremors!!!!)

Then just have another. Problem solved and flush w an extra 20k.

I'm glad you asked, because helping is what I do.


Jun 27, 2022, 11:45 AM

I would suggest that we send the kid over to Gastonia to spend a long weekend of typical activity with some jovial motorcycle enthusiasts that I know. Once he knows that no dream he can possibly ever have will be as horrifying, he should be fine sleeping through the night.

oooh like Tate on Yellowstone


Jun 27, 2022, 11:52 AM

nah, that didn't work, and was real because it was on TV

Night Terrors is the home diagnosis that Mrs Fluff gave it

Usually it was easily traced to being overtired. It would happen after an unusually busy day with a later bed time.

If yours is off schedule, try and get them back and see if that helps.

If not, they will outgrow it at some point, at least ours has.

Hopefully it gets fixed for you since it is miserable for everyone involved

Good luck

Kinda funny.


Jun 27, 2022, 11:56 AM

One of my Gastonia motorcycle enthusiast pals is actually nicknamed 'Night Terror'.

This tracks really well.

They've been more frequent since we went on vacation and really threw off his schedule.

Ahhh...a light beside the bed so they can SEE what crawled out from under their bed....

That should work.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Best solution is get them a loaded gun for under the

mattress.

No kids, but when I was little my brother


Jun 27, 2022, 12:10 PM

screamed out to me in the middle of the night. My parents went in his room and cut the light on. But he still kept calling my name, so I came down the hall. He must have been about 4 years old at the time, but was at some age where he wasn't able to form completely coherent thoughts and sentences most of the time.

I went to the door and he had this blank stare on his face. And he kept waving me over and saying "come here, I gotta tell you something brother". Like some horror movie trap. He said it like three times, glazed over look in his eyes and all. I didn't know what was going on, but I kept asking him "what you want bo?"

Obviously sleepwalking as my parents indicated when it was going on, but it sticks with me as one of my creepier memories.

He later became a gay heroin addict.
