night last night.
Has anyone here dreamed that something bad has happened to their children? I dreampt (is that a word?) that Jimmy died. All I know is that DH and I allowed him to go somewhere and he died I don't know what he was doing but I do know that I don't remember a car involved (for those of you who know he has his drivers license). I had to work today a long day and I was just not into it. My job is to help people with their problems and all I wanted to do was talk about my dream but I couldn't. I wanted to come home and be with Jimmy and when I got home he went off to youth group shortly after I arrived. It scares me because some of my dreams have come true but I can't keep him in a plastic bubble either. I have been praying that God keeps him safe. I am almost in tears typing this out now.
I am going to go for a while but felt drawn to post this message.
Please pray for Jimmy.
Thanks-
Linda

Obviously, the dream frightened you very much.

Linda,
I've had bad dreams too. Not about my boys, but I know how real dreams can feel. I've had dreams that I keep reliving in my head, over and over throughout the day. They feel sooo real. Anyway, my heart goes out to you. Hope you have happier dreams tonight.

Thanks Michelle. I just might sleep with my Bible under my pillow tonight. I used to do that when I was younger and it seemed to help.

I think it's totally normal to have dreams like that when, on a deeper level, we are worried about something. If our children's adolescence isn't something for a mother to worry about, I don't know what is. Please don't worry that your dream will "come true".
I've been sleeping so soundly for the past few years that I NEVER remember dreams anymore. (Sleep experts say that you remember dreams only if you wake up, even partially, while your still in a dreaming state.) I remember a dream I had when I was pregnant with my first child. I was in a parking lot, and needed to change my baby's diaper. I put him down on the parking lot pavement and wondered, "How do I do this? What do I do?" I got a big, cloth diaper out of my trunk, and when I turned, my baby was gone. I knew he wasn't stolen, but he was so tiny that he was lost in the texture of the street. What a dream! Like I'd ever lay my baby down on the street!
Once, I had one where we were all walking across a bridge, and he got silly and fell through a gap. What an awful feeling! But I understand that dreams speak to us in metaphors. I new he'd never fall off a bridge. But, at that time, he was kind of out of control, and I was worried about him. Dreams just tell us how we feel deep inside; not what lies in the future.
I hope you have good dreams tonight!

Linda,
Sorry about that awful dream. How have you been sleeping since then? How are you feeling?

Linda,
That is disturbing. I had a dream like that a few months back about Mike. But I think it was related to my day time worries about him carried over to my subconscious. Any chance you have been really stressing over something Jimmy related lately like driving or school?
Hope you are feeling better.

That is something about laying your baby on the street. I did have weird dreams when I was pregnant. Once I had a dream that I laid the baby on the picnic table and lost him/her...didn't know what sex the baby was in my dream even. The baby was not tiny until I laid him/her on the picnic table then the baby fell through and I lost the baby in the grass.
Then a distrubing one when I was pregnant with Kyle I believe...their were twins and they were in the crib and one was dead....I am soooooooooooooooo weird...DH knows when I have a bad dream about him....I say something to him when I first wake up and he says, "OK what did I do or not do last night in your dream".....LOL. At least he has a sense of humor.
Thanks for sharing your dream.

Thanks for asking....I am feeling better. I really did sleep with my Bible under my pillow the other night after I read a passage. I prayed God shows me the passage that he wanted me to read. He knows all my worries. God is so good and has comforted me.
Thanks for asking I appreciate it.

LOL I better run out and get one of those pregnancy test. I told Dh that if we get pregnant it will be a miracle since those tubes were cut (even a part cut out), burnt and tied. Now I know it happens but it would be a miracle. I signed the consent to have it done and they had to call in a surgeon when Kyle was born...I would not dialate and my blood pressure dropped and I almost died but they didn't have the consent on file at the hospital (good ole KAH) and I had to sign another one...no hubby couldn't sign. I was such a mess up and out of it that I don't even remember signing the release.....also don't remember what DH said I told the nurse when she refused to give me pain medication....LOL that is a good thing I don't remember that...apparently she told me no medication since they had to know if my uterus would rupture since Jimmy was c-section and I asked her if she would like something shoved up her....uh huh. I can't believe I said that but honestly it was not me.
Anyway didn't mean to get into that whole spew. Kinda funny looking back...and very lucky I am here.
I am trusting in God and have been leaning on Him he is my counselor. :-)
Thanks for responding and thinking of us.
Linda
