Last night I had a dream. It’s one of those dreams where one of your fears come to life. I woke up feeling hurt by the dream because this kind of dream could so happen. In my dream, my husband, kids and I went to the beach. You could tell in the dream that the day at the beach was a windy, and cool day. In real life I probably would have just not gone. We get the kids out of the car and get ready to walk the up a small hill to the beach. But our 3 year old run off up the hill alone I tell my husband to go after him. He runs after him. I wait with other two at the car for awhile when my husband returns but not with our 3. I asked him where he is he couldn’t tell me he lost in the crowed. I of course get really scared my 3 year old can’t swim and is probably lost in the water or dead. So I start crying and getting mad at my husband about how dare he just stop looking for our son. I wouldn’t have stopped till I found him and could hold him. This is when I wake up and feel of course hurt. But relived it’s jsut a dream. Mom nightmares dreaming about your kid getting hurt, lost or whatever else could possibly happen.

OH gosh that is a very scary dream. I am glad it was just a dream tho. A sort of nightmare really. That would be very hurtful for sure.

Yes, I don’t know what is worse losing him at a beach or a truck running him over. Anything where I kid goes missing or is hurt it just kills you on the inside. Mom nightmares.

Those kinds of dreams are quite distressing. I dont have them too often, but when i do they are bad and it doesnt help when you try to wake up and you cant. I normally don't go back to sleep after that

It takes me a while to fallback a sleep. My heart just breaks even though I know after waking up he is okay. I never had these dreams with my older two just him and it’s been two at least far a part. I guess I’m worried about him.
