I've read that it's common for PWDs to develop obsessions and the other night my mother apparently got up in the middle of the night and had to collect things that were red. Gloves, hat, red box of cereal - all carefully placed on the bedside table. When she was telling me about it I couldn't make out if she'd been dreaming and hadn't properly woken up or if she'd been fully awake when this need to collect red things came on her or what!
We've had a few shopping obsessions and had to find room in the fridge for 8 bottles of milk, or a dozen bars of butter, but this one's a new one. At least it didn't take her out of the house in the night!
What sort of obsessions do others develop? Are they mostly harmless, as Mum's have been (so far!)?
Should I have put the red box of cereal back in the cupboard? (She doesn't seem to have noticed... yet....)
