How do u best deal with the frightening dreams/illusions?

My husband has lewy body dementia. I wake him up but it is hard for him to go back to sleep. Any suggestions?

Whatever you do Sandy, do not give him over the counter sleep aids, which usually contain diphenhydramine, which can make symptoms worse. Work with the MD to find the right meds

Contact his doctor(s) and ask if there is a medication that might help. I believe there are drugs for depression that might help.
