In reply to Dawn. Hi @Dawn, thanks for writing to us. I am sorry to hear you are concerned about your grandson's dreaming! Babies can be quite expressive when they sleep, and it is likely he is not remembering anything as unpleasant as he may look, especially since he is not actually waking up. I know I'm not giving you a clear answer about anything, but I hope it offers some comfort to know that you are not alone and that he likely isn't remembering it.

My grandson seems to have nightmares to where he cries and screams. He doesn’t wake up. I have watched him make horrible sounds and face while sleeping in my arms. This can go on for hours. He never opens his eyes. He just seems to be frightened. This started when my daughter brought him home from the hospital. He is 7 months old now. He still has this troubled sleep.
I said he is dreaming of past lives. It hurts our hearts to see him so fearful!

This is not a babies first life. They have many past lives and may have snippets of them in for of dreams. Impression are imprinted on their subtle bodies or subconscious.

It is hogwash to say they dream of milk and poop.

In reply to Rachel. @rachel - I'm sure the "milk dream" is pretty cute to watch! The sleep-smiles are the best! Though, I'm sure the restless sleep he experienced after some rough times wasn't so cute.

We’ve always joked that my baby is having “the milk dream” when he smiles or sucks in his sleep. Seriously, though, there have been a few times that something traumatic happened to him (we had to clip his tongue tie, I dropped him, he was in the car seat for a 9 hour trip) and for a few days afterward he would cry in his sleep. I know he was having “nightmares,” recalling those bad experiences and feelings, even at 2 months old. I felt awful.

@ Melinda – awww, that sounds so cute! What a sweet memory that will be as he grows 🙂 And yes, you’re right – laughing is VERY preferable to crying!! 😉

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Melinda!

I think they do! My son (he will be a year old later this month) sometimes laughs in his sleep, and has been doing so since about 8 or 9 months old! I don’t know if he’s just going over events of the day, or if it is more imaginative (I have no idea when imagination really kicks in). Either way, I’m glad he is laughing, and not crying in his sleep. 🙂
