Thank you, Cindy! I had always heard that talking about such things helps, that it is important to get them OUT in the air and not suppress them, so I was thinking it was unhealthy for him to not talk about it. But perhaps that is not so, or not so for everyone. I've asked him if he wants to talk about the dreams, but he says it would just make it worse, so I dropped it. Normally, I just hold him and tell him it is OK, and he's safe, and he's home. That seems to help, at least for that night's set of dreams. I guess that's the main thing to do. Cowgirl
