My son, at the age of three,(he's five now) awoke one morning and told me he had just been shown in his dream how to strangle someone! He proceeded to prove this(on my request) by putting his hands around my throat, thumbs crooked against my wind-pipe and pushed hard with those thumbs, causing me to choke(obviously!)and pull him away, amazed at his accurate knowledge of the correct way to strangle someone!!
I don't feel it's possible anyone could have shown him this, as at the time he was very shy and had no friends, as such. Also, he often tells me of his dreams when he awakes, some quite disturbing, some quite obviously from the mind of a three year old!
Suffice to say, I explained the dangers of doing such a thing on anyone and he has never done it again.
I'm not seriously concerned at present, as he has had no more dreams of such a graphically educatative nature, but I am interested to see what other open minds make of this?
