I did! I’m glad I knew that he experienced these so I wasn’t caught too off guard.

Whoa!! Sad that some children have such a terrible time at night. I can't imagine what kind of dreams they are experiencing that would cause such fear. Thanks for sharing this one with us. If you are comforting the child, laundry can wait. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

Thank you, Sara! It is a strange thing. He had his eyes open but was not awake.
