Answer 1

Go to a church that teaches the Bible and ask if the elders will pray over him. This is a spiritual warfare and you need to get your spirit in tune with the living God. That is your best defense.

Answer 2

I think he is having Night Terrors... Unlike Nightmare, Night Terrors are more intense and more real feeling.. A person experiencing a Night Terror may look fully awake but will still be in the brain cycle of sleep so the Night Terror actually isn't over it's still playing out in the mind.. A person in the throws of a Night Terror will be less likely to acknowledge you because they are still sleeping..

Try setting a very regiments and calming before bed schedule.. A warm soothing bath, relaxing time, music or reading a book (something happy not a fairy tale those are often quite disturbing)...

Talk about things in his life or surroundings that could be frightening him.. Maybe a stuffed animal looks like a monster in his darkened room a tree branch caught by the light outside looks like a giant groping hand at the window... Spend a night in your sons bedroom listen to the sounds of the house.. A flushing toilet makes a gurgling growling sound or a bush or tree branch/scrapes taps the window/wall.. The normal settling sounds of the house are amplified at night because it is quieter than the day...

You may need to trim back trees and get a white noise machine to mask sounds ...

There are a lot of things that can contribute to a child having Night mares and Night Terrors rather than jump to the conclusion that it is a left over from a past life try to figure out the real life things that could be contributing to the Night Terrors and Nightmare and eliminate them if possible..

I don't think it is about any past life coz i don't believe in it. What I think is going on is that maybe your son is suffering from some mental illness so i think you need to report this to your physician right away who can help you out. Sometimes it also happens that if a child is sexually abused by someone then also he may have nightmares. But you should go to the physician to determine what is wrong. I am a religious person but I think your problem's solution is with the doctor and if god wills everything will be o.k.

Answer 4

Night Terrors and bad dreams can have that effect. It is common in children. Ask him about his dreams some time during the day while he is awake and calm. See what he truly remembers.

Also, he is probably old enough to try a little bit of dream guidance.

First, see if he can use his imagination to think of a place where he is safe and happy. At the beach, laying in the grass, or in a favorite chair are examples. Have him close his eyes and do a really good job imagining. Ask him to describe his happy place in words while his eyes are shut.

Once he can draw up his happy place in his mind in great detail, he is ready for another step.

Practice going to the happy place. Make it a game, and ask him how fast he can get his imagination to show him the happy place. Come up with a way to do this unannounced. Perhaps while he is doing something else you say, "Happy Place" and he has to see how quickly he can gear up and tell you what he sees in his imagination.

When you are fairly certain that he can do this easily, you can go on to the next steps.

Now is the time to begin bringing up the happy place at bedtime. Gently remind him that he can bring it up any time he wants. Tell him to imagine the happy place at bedtime so it is the last thing he thinks about before going to sleep. Tell him to try to decide before he goes to sleep what kind of dreams he wants to have, and think about his decision as he is drifting off. Sometimes practice at naptime is good. Things are less scary during the day.

This is important because bad dreams at night get to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. The child has a bad dream one night, and then worries about having another one all the next day. When he finally gets to sleep, sure enough, the worries of the day lead him right back to another bad dream......

Another thing to teach him is that he can tell himself to just wake up when dreams get too goofy. Tell him not to wait for the dream to get scary, just wake up and end it right away.

And, he can always use his skills in imagination even when he is asleep. When he finds a dream taking a bad turn, he can go directly to the happy place.

Now he has two choices. He can to to the happy place, or he can just wake up.

Giving a child more power over his dreams many times leads to a reduction in the bad dreams overall. He most likely will grow out of it anyway, but this brings the suffering down.

If none of these things work, it certainly does not hurt to ask a pediatrician or child psychologist. They may offer better solutions, but I like to try to give the proper tools to kids so they learn they don't have to just be victims.

Answer 5

Hebrews 9:27&28 says : "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, so Christ also having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him." So, it's safe to drop the "Previous Life" aspect of the childs problem. However, there is a condition of an "Autistic" nature that has these same symptoms. See a Doctor & don't take NO for an answer!!! God Bless John

Answer 6

Possible food allergy; since birth? Cow's milk, chocolate, food dyes, sugar's, would remove all from his diet for a couple weeks to clear system then re introduce 1 at a time. cousin had that trouble and found it was sugar and red kool-aid. Also could be allergy to perfumes in the bedding or carpet, the matteress?

perhaps he has sleep apena and has woken himself up and scared himself with this memory?

Let him know that his guardian angle is always watching over him all the time.

Don't mess him up with past life silliness, we are not recycleable.

Answer 7

It does sound like night terrors, but if this is something he has been doing since he was born, then it might well be a carry over from a previous life.
I agree, with the person above.
Have him talk to you about his grown up life, draw pictures, see if you can get a name, and a location. (It might be interesting to check it out).Definitley do not shut him down. Let him talk openly about it to you, but let him know that others might not understand, so keep it between you two.
Good luck. Poor little guy.

Answer 8

Repeat this to the boy atleast twice before he goes to sleep or when he screams:

Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.

Answer 9

He is holding on to his past life. The best bet is to not make him feel crazy or stupid for it. Let him talk it out. he may need a say of letting it go. Maybe let him draw pictures of when he was grown, and then the two of you burn them to let go of the past. He may need to mourn his past life.
Being burried alive, as it does sound like or he drown, both are very traumatic for our souls, and his may be a bit scarred.
He needs reassurance that that was then and this is now.
I don't think you are at all crazy. I think you know your son better than anyone, and go with your gut.

Answer 10

it is in all hazard a sturdy time to start up shifting him to his very own crib/mattress. start up off along with his naps, and then pass him there in a single day. whether it is nevertheless in the room with you, consistent with hazard he will settle better. i comprehend you're drained, and you're saying you're lacking in self-discipline, yet once you persist with it and pass him, you will the two possibly sleep better. start up diluting his milk even better to organic water in the week, and start up off slicing how plenty you put in it each and every time till it is an oz. - then take it away. the 1st few cases he could desire extra convenience and to be reassured, yet stick to it. Set a ordinary the place he can snuggle with a favorite toy whilst he's put in his crib too, so he would not experience on my own. do no longer enable him scream away for longer than 5-10 minutes - do no longer enable him get so worked up he chokes or something - yet do no longer come working precise away. I actually have a factor that performs music for 10 minutes - that has worked wonders for me. I had my son cosleep with us for an prolonged time, then moved him to his crib (beginning with naps) and interior of a week without warning he became into drowsing in the time of the night and that i became into extra rested too. It took me 2 nights to get to sleep myself, i became into so traumatic approximately him, yet am satisfied I did swap him, and don't remorseful approximately any of the co-drowsing. you're able to do it - stick to it and you will locate which you will the two get extra relax. The quickest way isn't working each and every of the time for you - and you're no longer getting the rest you desire at any age to handle a baby. it's time to objective something new and supply it a raffle to paintings. i'm hoping you get some sleep quickly :)
