Just discovered during a camping trip, my nephew who seems to be a happy kid got to talking to me about dreams ....
he explains [with a smile on his face] that since he was in a crib he's had a LOT of dreams of being chased "and attacked".
He described his dreams as a baby "stuffed animals at night --their eyes turning into angry cartoon eyes ALL coming forward to him about to attack him" then he'd wake up.
He's 13 now. However still has dreams of being attacked within highly detailed dreams, many different characters, and many times he says "it's usually about authorities chasing him down and them becoming evil at the end of the dream about to hurt him b4 he wakes up or sometimes attack him."
I guess I am concerned because I mean really --a kid claiming he's experienced this on and off in dream state since he was a BABY?!?! --And the nightmares are still occuring?
The weird thing is, I've NEVER seen him unhappy, except very moody when he was like 2-8.
Since them, it's been

I think there might be a problem. Reoccuring dreams are usually a red flag for something. I know I used to have reoccuring dreams that were negative or scary, only to find out many years later that I'd been molested when I was very young. The dreams were a result of the supressed memories. Not trying to scare you, but I think it's something his parents should have checked out.

My child has those dreams and he has a great home life. He does have a very active imagination though.

He's fine. Just lower his sodium intake before bed. Dreams mean little if anything at his age.

That is weird. But it doesn't mean something's wrong with him, especially if you're not picking up any signs other than that. You should just tell his parents, if they didn't know already. God bless.

My 10 year old is like that. Please take your kid to a child shrink. I know...... but try just once. Adam had some bad experiences and he will not let go.
