Back to the book , and night visitors of another kind

Does a person with Alzheimers remember dreams, or even being woken up at night?  Once my mom had a swollen lip when she woke up.  It was bruised, and must have hurt.  She must have bumped into something while on a trip to the bathroom.  She had no recollection of it.  She would hide her pocketbook before taking a nap, then wanting to take it with her when we went out, she would go on a frantic search for it, saying:  "They stole it, they stole it."
"Who, Mom?"
