Dad was talking about his nightmare on Saturday to Mom, but he had told me (his son) about it a few weeks ago. Said it was VERY vivid, and told Mom yesterday that he'll never forget it...which makes us believe he is still having it. Basically, the nightmare took place in the ICU and he said that the nurses/doctors had a patient across from him strapped to the bed. The patient was having his body parts "harvested" (that was the word Dad used) from him, apparently against his will.
When Dad told me this, I told him that it was quite scary to ME too, and could understand why it had disturbed him. I asked him if he believed they did that in this hospital, and he said, "No." I truly believe he was being honest in his answer. However, you can imagine that there is so much going on around him while he is trying to sleep, that his subconscious probably hears the noises, discussions, etc.
Please be praying that he has peaceful sleep. Hopefully it will be better as they moved Dad to another part of the ICU. Don't know if it was one of the private rooms, but he is no longer in the same "pod" of 6 beds he has been in the last 4 weeks.
