Thanks for the suggestion, Beth. I'll try to remember to do this. The problem is that I infrequently remember my nighttime dreams. Obviously I have them, but I can't even recall one, lately. I think I had one having to do something with a bird, maybe a week back.

On occasion I do talk in my sleep, or even sleepwalk or appear awake, when not. My husband tells me about these occurrences. Some months back was a very notable case.

I'm also sorry to hear about your nephew. Hopefully he'll fight it off quick and well.
