Do babies dream?

I guess last night my husband went into the boys room and Ashton seemed really startled. He said it seemed like he didnt know where he was and didnt want his nuk. He just comforted him for a while and he went back to sleep. He didnt tell me until today, boy little boy.. Anyone elses ever do this? Happy New Year!!

I think so. I hear my two talking in their sleep like DH is bad about doing too! I can tell they are talking in their sleep because it sound different than when they are awake (like DH too). So I figure they must be dreaming. Also there have been only a handful of times when they would wake crying and scared and I go in and give them a hug and they are ok. I figure maybe they had a bad dream on those occasions.

I think they do. Jessica seems to have nightmares even-she'll wake up in a panic cry and is actually shaking in fear when I go to get her. This has happened several times since about 6 months.

Same here....Joe has episodes where he wakes up screaming like his left arm's been cut off. When I go to him he's not even awake...just screaming. It's so bad sometimes I have to take him out into the light to wake him up to bring him out of it.

It happens maybe twice a month since about 6 mos...but it's only been REALLY bad twice.

 

I know my 4 dream, when they're babies I think they dream about eating, playing and all the little things they do all day anyway!

 

I think they must because Haley will let out litle weak cries in the middle of her sleeps.

I know mine dream about eating because their mouths are suckling ...

 

I've always thought that mine did, because there were a few seperate occasions that one of them would wake up screaming bloody murder and the only thing that would comfort him was being held and talked to by me, not DH. It would only take a minute or two to put him back down and he would be out like a light in a matter of seconds after his head hit the mattress.

 

I think mine do too & I don't know if it is too soon, but I think Lauren has nightmares b/c she will start screaming. Eyes closed like pp, and I have to try to wake her up. Mattie laughs in her sleep
