Again, it took a few minutes for him to be aware that I was beside him and he was out of the dream.
Have any of you experienced this? Do you think this is PD related, or just a freakish occurrance?

It is not that uncommon. Is your hubby on an agonist, Mirapex in particular?
I got 1-3 hours of sleep until I started taking Sinemet CR And that got me to 4-5 hours. My wife used to remark she should get combat pay for sleeping with me!!
So unless he can get off his meds, I am afraid that it pretty much "is what it is". There are some drug therapies that can help with vivid dreams. Talk it over with your MDS. Be sure to tell them his exact symptoms.
