Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Recently someone approaching moderate dementia told me that he dreams of flying. He was a recreational pilot in his younger days and always loved to fly. He had his own plane. He was in Civil Air Patrol. Since he now isn't well and is unable to go out very often, he loves his flying dreams! There's no need to take that from him!
My mother had dreams about Elvis when she had dementia, and she thought she was going to marry him. It made her happy. No way would I wake her up when she was in a better world where she was still young and able to have fun.
Let your mom have her dreams. Her reality is different from yours now. Let it be a happy one.
In fact, we ALL see people in our sleep! If her sleep seems troubled or it seems like "night terrors" then discuss with doctor. Otherwise, dreams are normal, and are -- perhaps--our minds' way of attempting to work out things. They are poorly understood overall, as you can imagine. But if she is asleep during these dreams there is really nothing for you to be concerned about.
You don't seem to have a question, but that seems quite normal for someone with dementia. I too have very vivid dreams every night, but don't believe I talk to anyone(out loud anyway) in them yet. Now if your mom was awake and talking to unseen people, I would say that she was probably nearing her time to leave this world for the next as that too is very common, as loved ones that have passed on before come to welcome her to the other side.
Why wake her up? If this is not upsetting HER or concerning HER please let her sleep and have her dreams. I will mention that it is said that many people as they near EOL (end of life) will see, hear and talk to those that have died. So mother, father, son, daughter, friends other relatives. So depending on where your mom is in her life this might be nothing, might be "just" dreams or it may be the beginning of her end of life. Again if this is not upsetting HER leave her to her dreams and sleep
