Help with a recurring dream?

Question

I have been having a recurring dream about my 2 year old son.

Each dream is different, and I wake up each time before he dies. One dream he was attacked by a dog, another he was choking and another he was hit by a car.

I have had about 10 dreams in the last 4 months, and some were so bad, i didn't want to remember them.

I would love some help of how to stop these dreams and a meaning behid it if anyone can help. I can't let these go on, I'm losing to much sleep and love my son too much for it to keep happening!

Answer 1

hmmmm how terrible, really, i would just try to think within urself at the things that u really worry about with ur son, maybe there is something minimal like worrying of how he'll play with other kids or getting hurt in pre-school, and maybe because u are not pin pointing ur concerns ur mind runs wild at night. I would not get scared or think anything is going to happen u may just be worrying alot about him and these dreams, while u go about ur day and so they haunt u at night.
good l;uck to u xo.

Dear Dreamer, I don't believe that your little boy is in danger. I believe that the boy in your dream is an aspect of your own personality. We are all constantly evolving more competant behavior patterns, or aspects of our personality in order to meet and deal with the things life throws at us. Since the dreams are about your little boy, I would suggest that he represents a developing masculine aspect of your personality. By masculine I mean behavior which shows initiative, aggressive or positive action, etc. That it is a toddler rather than an older male figure suggests that this masculine aspect/behavior is just beginning to take shape. That the developing male figure is being killed in each of the dreams seems to indicate that your efforts to take charge in some aspect of your life is being stymied, thwarted. The dog attack could indicate your "animal" nature. A temper tantrum or anger problem of some sort comes to mind. The choking incident makes me think that some sort of rationalization is inhibiting your taking charge. (Air = rationality) Being hit by a car suggests that the balance of your personality as it is now (the "vehicle" that gets you around in life) has such momentum, and perhaps not a lot of self control, that your habitual behaviors are "running over" your half-formed intentions to take charge.

That your child is 2 years old, the "terrible twos" when a child starts to practice being assertive makes me wonder as I write this, if you are having a hard time trying to learn to control the child. That is, of course, a guess, but it fits.

You'd probably do better to talk to someone with more expertise than I on that subject, but I have been a parent and will tell you that firmness and consistency is truely a good thing.

To be rid of the dreams you have to integrate the behaviors which the child represents into your personality. Pay attention to your dreams and try to pick out other clues as to what is going on in your life that you need to take charge of, where you need to take the initiative, etc. Then practice doing it. You may feel insecure, uncertain, but you have an active intelligence and aren't likely to goof it up worse than not taking any action at all.

Good luck, sweet dreams.

Yes you are worrying a lot about your son and somewhere you are feeling guilty for not protecting your son Is he in a daycare / If so well stay take care of him and your dream will stop And dont come up with the modern excuse [[We have bills to pay so I have to work There lots of way earning money when we are staying home

Answer 4

Sometimes we dream about what worries us the most. Our dreams will manifest in the worst possible outcome of a situation, like your child being injured or killed. Its kind of a way for your subconscience to prepare you for some lesser injury should it happen.

Our society is so protected there is little likelihood of a serious injury to your son. Your worries are natural and normal. Everyone worries about their children. You only have about 30 more years of worry and then he'll be old enough so you won't have to. (:

good luck to you!

Answer 5

This is pretty simple. You obviously love your son very much and every mother's worst fear is that something will happen to their child. A child is not supposed to die before it's parent, therefore you don't want this to happen, you are terribly afraid it will happen and you are placing all of these fears into your subconscious mind, willing them not to happen. The only way they can come out is when your mind is at rest, but even then you try to control it. Talk about your fear of your son dying. It's natural, not that the child dies, but that you have this tremendous fear that he will. If you are a woman of faith, ask God to help you with this fear. God Bless you...

Answer 6

Your biggest fear is probably something happening to your son. If you address this fear, your dreams will go away.

Know in your heart that your son is fine, that he is going to grow into a healthy adult, and have children of his own.
Imagine it, it will help put your mind to rest.
