Anyone with small children in the house can probably identify with what you're talking about, I know that when our daughter started sleeping in her own room and I was "sleeping with one ear open" I was remembering tons of dreams, it seemed like I was dreaming every time my head hit the pillow AND remembering each and every one too. It seemed like I was extra-sensitive to when she would make a sound or cry. Of course I was sleeping like a cat, short naps and lots of them, up all night so to speak.
