Dreams and Reality

As I have mentioned in previous blogposts, my son has a lot of difficulty distinguishing reality from fantasy.

When we went on a trip a few weeks ago, he asked me if the coach was going to fly up in the sky to get to the theme park. I honestly think he wouldn't have batted an eyelid if the coach had suddenly sprouted a pair of huge wings and launched into the sky!

Yesterday, we were talking about dreams and I told him about a scary dream I had as a child.

"Grandad has got some videos of you when you were little...." he said.

".....Has he got a video of that dream you had? Can I watch it?"

He couldn't understand that a dream is something in your head and that it can't be captured on film.
