hkc - our dd 26 mos. has extremely vivid dreams and will sit up and act them out before fully waking. She talks in her sleep, too. (Her father is exactly the same way.)

As a kid I don't remember vivid dreams, but when I was pregnant I dreamed like the Sixth Sense, or, more accurately, like the tv show Medium. It. Was. Awful. I really felt like I was losing my mind and I was definitely losing sleep.

Funny, I always had to have the closet door shut, too. I thought I was the only one!
