The last few nights I've had the strange experience of thinking DD was in bed with us (she sleeps in a separate room) and wake up stroking DH's head, body etc thinking he is DD. It is sooooo real to me. Apparently the first night I did it DH thought I was joking as I took an imaginary dummy out of his mouth and cooed to him. I woke suddenly wondering how DD had come to be in bed with me (rather freaky as I feed her in a chair and put her back in her cot and couldn't recall bringing her back to bed) and then searched with my hand on the other side of the bed looking for DH in case he rolled on her and calling for him only to then hear to my shock he was in fact in my arms and who I thought was DD! It had felt so real that it was her.

Anyone else experience something like this? I'm not very sleep deprived at the moment and nothing has really changed in our routine of a couple of night feeds. I'm beginning to realise I am dreaming it as I wake up but it still happens a few times a night.
