My dog nightmares were terrible, but I am not sure if dogs scared me first and then I had nightmares, or if I had the nightmares and so was terrified of dogs. The other themes of my nightmares, I have no clue where they came from!Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-21318733333221687702015-01-20T16:54:43.903-05:002015-01-20T16:54:43.903-05:00That sounds awful.

I'm glad you were finally able to get over them...at about age 35, geesh!Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-60520018616988190572015-01-17T01:06:54.425-05:002015-01-17T01:06:54.425-05:00I remember crawling in bed between my parents, but...I remember crawling in bed between my parents, but I HAD to. I was plagued with terrible nightmares--until about age 35 or more, frankly--and they were just too, too awful. I HAD to be between them, because if I was on the edge...who knows what terrible things might have happened. I can remember them being annoyed with me, but I am so grateful they let me, because honestly, some nights were so terrifying that I do not know how I would have survived alone. Or laying on the floor. I was completely frightened of under-the-bed. Eventually I stopped, but I don't remember at what age. I had to learn coping skills. Those nightmares were doozies. I once told Nancy one of my nightmares in the middle of the day and completely creeped her out. And I tried writing them down because I thought...horror genre sells well. If I am going to have such awful dreams, I might as well make some money. But they were too creepy to write down. Reliving them by writing them--too horrible. So, thanks mom and dad for letting me find safety between you on my darkest nights. I really appreciated it!Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-30903194277194257242015-01-16T19:53:03.284-05:002015-01-16T19:53:03.284-05:00Haha I remember sleeping on my parent's floor ...Haha I remember sleeping on my parent's floor on a fake fuzzy fur rug. I would stare under the bed at all the dust bunnies (it was a wood floor). I was like five so you might have a few more years. :) I wasn't allowed in the bed either. I bet he will get used to it soon enough.

Gareth never tried to climb in bed with us. We never co-slept (moved him out of our room at about 2 weeks), so I don't know if it's that (no expectation that he can) or just his personality. He was always an awesome sleeper in pretty much every way. Malcolm has never asked to sleep in our bed either. Though he's still in the crib, so we could be in for a rude awakening when he moves to a big bed. But he's nearing three and still hasn't attempted climbing out of the crib, so I'm really hoping we just won't have to deal with this. Good luck with Benjamin. I hope you're consistently getting kick-free sleep shortly!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636146366627166656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-9887298450499463962015-01-14T00:06:39.291-05:002015-01-14T00:06:39.291-05:00Beth was waking up in the middle of the night and ...Beth was waking up in the middle of the night and screaming if no one came and held her while she slept (in her bed, but you had to kneel on the floor and hold her). We got fed up with it and Robert started locking our door at night. She tried the routine a couple of times after that, but when she found our door locked and figured out that we weren't going to put up with it anymore, she went and got back in her own bed and went to sleep... Thank goodness!! lolYo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12250593379605269641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-56763198143850389892015-01-12T13:28:35.025-05:002015-01-12T13:28:35.025-05:00Hahaha!

And yes Dr. J does not even bother telling parents not to cosleep anymore.

He sleeps soundly all night by our bed, but once he's awake, we have to prepare ourselves for an aerial invasion. If he could crawl up stealthily, we might not notice and he'd have much better results. I wish we could have a chat with him about it like you can with Benjamin. :) Good luck!AmandaStretchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649673692690240933noreply@blogger.com
