My father was diagnosed with vascular dementia about a year ago. We had suspected something long before the diagnosis. He also has a host of other ailments as long as my arm! You can read them in previous posts.
If your parent or loved one has this diagnosis, at what point or did they ever hear voices awaking them from their sleep. By the way, it's always the same women's voice over and over again. He has not heard the voice while awake.
The voices do scare him, but his beliefs are quite different. He won't tell me about his past, but he has a "fire and brimstone" faith. He told me if the Devil wanted him, there was no place he could hide.
I just never know what I'm going to get each morning when I hear his feet hit the floor.
V/r,

It was terribly upsetting when Dad heard "Herman" (that's the name we called the voice) because the voice held such authority. I hope they can help your dad.
Take care,
Carol
