    I had these graphic vivd nightmares as well, as a child. I've read so much information about GT kids, etc it all runs together sometimes. I think I read that really visual spatial kids can have some really intense dreams simply because of their natural tendency to store information in a visual manner, as images. Also, some GT kids are extremely creative and imaginative and those things together may make for some really interesting dreams!

    I'd guess that the anxiety you mentioned could also come out in the form of nightmares. Some think that dreams are the way the subconscious process info.....it follow that nightmares could be a person's way of processing troubles???

    I don't mean your child is *troubled*, like, a problem that is nagging at them.

    I had vivid nightmares when I was a child, especially if I read about certain subjects before bedtime (such as volcanoes, medical stuff, or stories with violence). Even as an adult, my dreams are still very vivid, albeit less nightmare-ish. I've found that monitoring movies, books, news... helps avoid them at night, as my youngest will get nightmares after hearing or watching something scary or sad (even at 14).
