Do babies dream of miniture sheep?

Peanut has his 'night night' routine, and i must admit i have played with it a little to see what would happen. The current routine is -

• change into pyjamas
  
• have a milk feed
• say goodnight to Daddy (and if we have visitors - them as well)
• cuddles into Lambie (his favourite soft toy lamb)
  
• then we put him on his back in his cot
• pull up the covers
• say night night sleep tight
• leave the room

He will then kick off the covers, turn around and flip over - mind you he does not let go of Lambie!!!

M34tb4LL asked me the other day if i have tried to put Peanut in cot more in the position that he seems to be more comfortable sleeping in, saving him the trouble of doing the whole turning around and over and stuff. I have, but it just seemed to make him upset and it took him longer to settle down so he could go to sleep!

If there is one thing I have figured out about our Peanut, he likes his bed time routine as it is - and he likes to get himself comfortable by himself!!!

Before we go to bed we always look in at Peanut for a few seconds and for those of you that keep tabs on Peanuts youtube account will know he is a bit of noisy sleeper. Plus he is a real wriggler - he moves around a lot while he is asleep. So do people (Peanut is people) move around in their sleep because they are not 100% comfortable? Or because of the dreams they are having!!!

And that makes me wonder, what do babies dream about? Dreams tend to draw references from all elements of the whole world around us and a baby's experience of the world is limited.

Mind you, it does amaze me how much Peanut seems to take in, and how fast he is learning about the world around him. So does he dream about things that they may have seen but is yet to understand? Or are his dream completely random and abstract? These are questions that we will probably never be able to answer!

Now, who of you thought that by the title of the this post I was going to make all sorts of 'Blade Runner' references?
