Hvae also posted this in sleep but getting a bit anxious about it now. DS keeps having bad dreams atm as we call them.

At the minute he's telling me it's about me wearing an invisable cloak & going off in a space ship & him being left behind/unable to find me.

Another one is me turning into a monster.

atm i'm PG so a little hormonal (bit shorter tempered possibly through lack of sleep). He's had a week with nanna (home of a night) as it's holidays, and DP has been away for the last 2 weeks - with another 3+ months to go. he's also going away with XH tomorrow for 8 days to grandmas/his dad's GF's house.

Slightly worried about the cause of bad dreams, is it a phase? is he unsettled & making sense of things at home? he's being very clingy again to me especially, in the way of wanting me to go to the loo with him/sort his bottom out/count so he can hear mine (or mum's) voices. FWIW I don't mind him in with me the odd day, however until he went to school last septemeber (at 4.5) he wasn't consistent in sleeping every night 12 hours in his own bed, so I'm not keen to have him in with me every night again - plus he's a wriggler, but will do for a few nights to resettle if needed - just don't want to slip back again

Any thoughts/ideas?
