What a nightmare...

Oh mylanta all mighty! Last night was AWFUL! Connor occasionally will have a bad dream and come crawl in our bed. He usually wakes up Lauren since they share a bed and she usually follows rubbing her eyes smiling. Sometimes we take them back to bed, depending on how tired we are and how crazy Lauren is in her sleep. Most nights they stay in their bed all night with no incident

Last night, Connor came in from a bad dream with Lauren in tow. We all went back to sleep....and then it happened. Connor starts hysterically screaming and hitting under the covers yelling from the TOP of his lungs "Grasshopper" Lauren is still asleep but I'm sure hears him screaming and the terrifying man-eating grasshoppers now transfer to her dreams and SHE wakes up screaming from the top of her lungs "Grasshoppers! Grasshoppers! Ah-geet me! HELP!" So now Lilly is crying in the room next door from the hysterics in our bed and Lauren is turning and crawling up me wanting out of the bed. She thinks they're in our bed. Jim takes her and Connor back to their bed where the infestation did not occur and they all go back to sleep. After both were sound asleep, Jim comes back to bed and we finally go back to sleep. We wake up an hour later to Connor DEATH screaming all the way down the hall, of course he AGAIN wakes Lauren up, this time she as joined his nightmare for reals and they are SCREAMING down the hall. I LEAP out of bed adn grab them both, Jim tries to calm Connor down while I try Lauren. Once Connor somewhat wakes up he understands that its a dream...Lauren not so much. I cannot convince her to set foot in the bed, she really thinks they're in there. I can't sent her down cause she thinks they're all over the floor. She won't let me turn out the lights and she is sincerely terrified. We finally all go back to sleep and now she won't walk anywhere in the house alone. She thinks they're everywhere. She's afraid of podying, afraid of walking on the floor, is making me check her clothes before we put them on and after we pull them up after podying. Connor on the other hand, knows that it was a dream and is totally fine. Thanks Con
