If you are concerned about dementia your primary doc should have a standard test they can go thru that will show proficiency in all areas of your thinking.

Typically drawing the face of a clock is the first issue. That was the first thing that showed up for my Mom. Then counting backwards by 7's out loud from 100. Tested her because she missed a dentist appointment, she couldn't find their office.. But was able to go other places and back home no problem. She didn't really have nightmares, but would wakeup in the night disoriented and not knowing she was home or started looking for people that she thought were visiting but weren't.
