Dreams and Nightmares

Hi all,

My dad has started having dreams/nightmares about his parents. They died in 1967 and 1971. He is dreaming that they committed suicide, they did not, and he wakes up crying. He has been talking about his mother a lot which is something new and he is not mentioning my mom (his wife) anymore. She died 11 years ago.

Does this mean anything? Does it mean he is going into another phase of the disease?

Another wrinkle in time.

Thanks,

M
