It's horrible isnt it. I had a dream my dd fell into like a skip b ut it was full of water and then we couldnt open the lid. God it upset me for ages. I couldnt get to her. My grandad drowned and maybe thats why I dreamt that I don't know.

I often have disturbing dreams - about dd or dp or my friends.

The ones about dd are obviously the most disturbing, but I just think that bad dreams aren't literal, they are symbolic, so like death means change, I think our dreams are just signifying that our toddlers - and us - are going through a lot of changes and that we're losing our babies, but that they are becoming real people. I think we're all aware and anxious of that too and that doesn't help these dreams.

I hate these dreams, while pg with lo i had really vivid dreams of bad things happening to family members and they seemed so real, for example 1 where i was walking with my nieces across a road and a car came and ran them over while i was just stood watching and then the car kept reversing over them and running them over continuosly! (sp?) it was horrible!! ive had soo many bad dreams! i hate how they affect u the next day aswell, it all seems so real!! xx

STinkymurphy i think your right i think my dream was telling me either take him as he is or dont have him and believe me ill have him the way he is terror or not he is such a wee monster but he is my wee monster and when he kissed me tonight i really couldnt believe it seriously normally when you ask for a kiss you get a wallop

I had an awful dream once where all my family were in london and I was working and a bomb went off and I knew that my whole family had been killed but hadn't heard anything about dd.  Then I found out she'd died along with my family.  Honestly worst dream of my life.  Sometimes the relief you feel when you wake up is the best feeling ever.  You might find, that at the end of your sorely trying day, your dream was just a little nudge to remind you how much your lo means to you.

I think we often dream that bad things happen to those things that are most precious! I have very real nightmares about stuff happening to my LO - have sometimes run in to check on him in the middle of the night when I have them! I've also had them about other members of my family as well. I really think that we have a deep rooted fear of something bad happening to our babies - because the love and protection we feel for them is so intense! It's our minds relaying our worst fears.............and when you are in your most relaxed state (sleep) it's often when those fears rise to the surface. I've spoken to my mum about them (she's a psychotherapist) and she said it's perfectly normal! Babies often pick up on your feelings too - if i'm feeling sad or worried - my lo gives me more hugs and kisses than normal! Hope you are feeling ok hun - and really don't worry about it too much!!

Awwwww big hugs to you hun.

I know how you feel dreams like this are horrid ive had them about family before and woke up crying. Had one a few months ago about little one i can still remember it now it was horrid i was so upset. Why to we have dreams like this hey? There is something on the internet that tell you dream meanings.

m2kl.  I always think i got to check on them before bed or summat will happen but this this totally freaked me out i couldnt stand anymore than what my dream entailed last night

I have had horrid dreams about things happening to my kids and sadly i get nasty details and very real images happening. I dont know what it means hun but i know i am left feeling cr@ppy all the following day.

I had a terrible dream last night that totally freaked me out all day.  Anyone who knows anything about me knows my ds2 18 months is a wee terrior and yesterday it was none stop and when he went to bed i really relaxed.  I had a dream last night he was taken from me no gory details (thank god) but in my dream i felt the life had been sucked out of me.  Know the way it does when you think of someone who you love and miss dearly and when you think they are not coming back you feel so much pain. 

I felt like crying the whole way to work today and when i rang dh at 920 they were still in bed ds 2 always gets up at 8 so i panicked and told dh to go in and check on him.  Although when i came in from work tonight caleb met me at the door and when i asked for a kiss i got one (shock horror caleb doesnt do kisses)

WHat could this possibly be.
