My Partner is making me laugh. What could the hallucinations be?

Last night he woke up and was upset with me. He asked me to please stop putting my finger in his nose. I said I didn't do any such thing. He yelled YES YOU DID. This morning he woke up and said, I have a question... Yes I said. He asked me it I thought it was unusual for him to be able to put his arm through the mattress? I asked him to demonstrate. He rolled over toward the edge of the bed. I watched. I checked under the mattress to see if thee was a hole that he might have caught his arm in. No hole. These Hallucinations are so funny.. I know it is probably not nice to laugh and I am certainly not laughing so he can see or hear me. I just am laughing inside. This is so real to him. Has anyone had this happen? He is off his meds right now due to a rash. So, it cannot be the drugs.. He also has a terrible headache now for two days. What could that be?

I'd much rather you were laughing than not, but if he's hallucinating odd sensations there could be something neurological going on. What's the rash all about?

Its part of the Dementia. Mom has a problem separating dreams from realility.

My partner has a show that he truly loves to watch and has for years. WWE. I hate it. So much violence. Thank God I am a women. Men are wierd!! Last night as usual, I turn the ROKU on and set it to WWE. He rewinds and watches it again. About 3 am, I got up as he was not in bed. (he can still come to bed on his own with his walker) thank GOD. I said that show was so long...I talked to him about rewinding it and he said he didn't. Liar Liar pants on fire. Hey at least he is happy Right?

When I volunteered at the memory care unit while my brother in law was in there, I met so many FUNNY people. they kept me laughing all the time. I could write a short Laugh book on things people say when they have Alzheimer and dementia. Of course, I am very fortunate to have a good humored man. It probably would not be funny if he was nasty. I am very blessed
