Last night my husband woke me up because i was crying and screaming in my sleep... when i woke up i had real tears streaming down my face and i was sobbing. I had a dream that my youngest son (8 yrs old) got hit by a school bus and died. the pain and heartache was SO REAL and i remember thinking "I dont want another baby, I want my son back". My husband and I are trying for a baby......has anyone ever had an awful dream like this? do you think it has anything to do with us trying for another baby and HE is our "baby" right now? Do you think theres any meaning behind this or just a silly dream......i AM always worried about my kids. thanks

Yes, it was just a dream...don't worry yourself too much by thinking too far into it. I too, have had these dreams about my children actually. Once, I had lost my daughter in the woods and it was dark in the dream....we searched and searched but could not find her...I think the dream came about from my worrying so much about my kids and not wanting to "lose" them. I also, just recently dreamed that my son drowned in the river and I could see his body floating away from me...I woke up with real tears as well and panicked. I was shaky and it felt so real. I think it's just natural...our everyday worries carry over into our sleep and all sorts of things are dreamt. Just try and relax, shrug it off as just a terrible nightmare that has nothing to do with real life...Part of it was probably that you are trying for another baby and that worry on top of already worrying about your son you do have just made your imagination run over. Good luck concieving and just try and not let this dream bother you any longer....you're all fine!! Have a good day :)

I have an 8 year old son and an 18 month old baby. When I was pregnant I dreamed that my 8 year old got hit by a car while getting his ball from the street. It seemed so real, I woke up crying. I had several dreams like this, and my thought was that maybe subconsciencely, I was feeling like I was trying to replace him by having another baby. I felt guilty that he somehow might feel like he wasnt enough. Then a couple of months ago, and the baby is already here, I dreamed that my son was at a friends house and drowned in their pool. The next weekend he went to their house to spend a day. I got a call that evening that the boys mother had fallen asleep and wasnt watching the kids, my son got into the deep end(he can not swim) and sunk to the bottom. The other boy pulled my son out. Needless to say, I will never ignore another dream I have about my children. And my son will not be around water again unless I am there. I too worry a lot about my kids. My husband says I worry too much. But there is such a thing as mothers intuition, and maybe that is why I had that dream. My kids play where I can see them, I do not let them play in the road, like half the parents on my street. I have been told that I am too strict, thats okay. At least I know where my boys are and they are safe.

Who knows what's going on in our subconscience while we're sleeping. YES, I definitely think that you are thinking about SO much as a mom, especially if you are a "worrier" AND are trying for another baby. NOTHING is going to happen to your son. I have had an awful dream about my youngest (3yrs.) when the violence overseas was really at it's peak and it was just my dreamland going crazy. It felt so real but that feeling will pass. Just keep trying for that new little one, try to worry less, and everything will work out the way it's supposed to. GOOD LUCK!

I had a dream similar to yours, but it was about this baby at the daycare that i worked at. It did feel so real. When i got to work the next day, i just held him all day long. I think that our minds plays tricks on us a lot of the time. I know that will be something that you remember for the rest of your life, but hang in there. It was just a dream, or shall we say nightmare. Good luck in concieving.

You may have a lot on your maind at the moment. Try not to worry as you normally reverse your dreams,so perhaps something reall good will happen to your son.Good luck with trying for a new baby,i am sure your son will make a great big brother.

I have 3 kids, and I have had very vivid dreams like you described. they seem so very real, and the pain is real. I have realized that usually when I have those dreams, it directly relates to what is going on in my life at the time. like if I feel like I have lost controll of something. it may have to do with you trying to conceive. last spring a boy ( 8) who was a friend of my daughters died very suddenly, and after that, I had horrible nightmares of my youngest drowning. you are not alone, but you have to remember, its just a dream. and no matter what, dont forget to tell him you love him everyday!!!

Yes I had a similar dream but my son still lives. That happen some years ago. Dreams do have meaning and it is hard to interpret them sometimes. I would just pray about it for inner peace.

Losing a child is the most traumatic thing a parent can go through.
This is normal. You fear losing your children. Your mind is preparing you for this event, if it were ever to happen. Since you fear that happening so strongly, your unconscious mind forces you to live it so you can begin dealing with the situation. Some parents do unfortunately have to deal with that as a reality in their lives, having dreams like this prepares you for it on some unconscious level. That is my belief.

I don't think you have to worry about it. However, you may want to examine how your son is acting to your effort to conceive a baby or how you feel about it. Is he feeling insecure or are you feeling guilty about it? Maybe have a family discussion and see how everybody is feeling about having another baby.
