I was diagnosed with Alzheimers just over a year ago. Whilst largely independent (there are those who may query that!) I have been ruminating over something having read the forums.
I have extremely vivid, detailed and specific dreams which I can recall in great detail (I take Doneprazil) I have noticed that there is a blur beginning between what I dream and reality in my awake state. I can now understand why PWD say things that seem out of context with everyday living/possibility. For instance last night I was with long lost relatives and friends in places I have not been for over 50 years. So if I was having a confused day today (I'm not!) I would be talking about this and insisting I WAS RIGHT. So is this the origins of the confusion?
Would be interested to read what carers think - plus anyone else with early symptoms.
