Thanks guys. I am not referring to night terrors. My kids are full awake and can recall very vivid events/people often describing graphic features and details. I think it is hard because they are so little and have all these big descriptive words that they use. I have noticed that these events occur more often when it is too hot. My DS6 now still has very vivid nightmares but only when his anxiety gets the best of him. I wondered about correlation between giftedness and night dreams as delbows suggested.
