in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

Today my DH said he had a dream last night about Montreal. He said “ don’t you remember when we were there” … it was him and his ex wife. Does it mean he’s mixing us up now?

    DW remembers things that never happened, and doesn't remember things that did. Happens all the time, on everything from our 61 year history together, to existing and non-existing grandchildren.

    it could be. But it could come and go. My DH thought my daughter was me. I would always introduce myself to him when I visited him in memory care. I would go in first and my daughter would go second. She would also introduce herself.
