Shuddering and Vivid dreams

Charles is having a very difficult time sleeping. He does this "shuddering" through the night and is so restless.

Then the vivid dreams.

Can anyone weigh in here? I don't know what to do, if anything, and wonder if this is just the last stage we are in.

Thanks,

Bruce slept-walk and talked all the way up till maybe 6 to 8 months ago? He then started with the leg movement. I started massaging his legs when I put him to bed...I believe this has reduced even stopped the movement.... And the sleep talking ; I went with it and talked to him...he was so articulate...it was the only time I could understand him on the first try.....but that too has gone....So the beginning of the end? well that happened in 2013, when he was diagnosed.....

So reassure him he is ok when he starts the dreams...and hey why not join him.....If they aren't dangerous or depressing and if they are just reguide his dream to something that help-s him solve whatever thing he seems to be dreaming about

and why not massage even without the need....you both may enjoy it...I don't get too provocative but I do enjoy massaging from feet to top of head!

That's all I got ...good luck

F was always the quite one (except sometimes snoring) it's me who has the vivid dreams and shouts out, now he is so so noisy, snoring, shouting, grunting its bedlam!! I presumed it's a stage of the illness.
