Bad dream

Well, my dh has been out of town for a couple of days (he comes home tonight). So, I've been having a hard time falling asleep at night. Anyway, I had this awful dream lastnight. I dreamt that Nathan was going thru a regression. He wouldn't answer me, look at me, or respond at all. In my dream, I had gone to school to pick the boys up....and the teachers were having a very difficult time with him. No tantrums or anything like that. He was just in his own world...completely and totally disconnected. I cried sooo hard in my dream!!! I was just terrified and so distraught. It was horrible. Just horrible. I couldn't REACH him....at all.
That was all of the dream. It just stopped there. No ending. I don't usually have bad dreams like that about the boys. It was certainly nice to wake up. And hear Nathan talking.

Sounds like a total stress dream. It's funny. I had a similar one recently, where Peter got separated from me in a huge mall, and I could almost always see him, but couldn't get to him. -there was usually an obstacle in the way, which overcoming caused me to lose sight of him. Then when I was close to where he had last been, I would see him just on the other side of an obstacle... It was awful.
I think it is interesting that we both dreamed along the same theme: Not being able to reach him.
Boy what a big fear that is for me.

I understand.

How scary and thank goodness it was just a dream.
I have had dreams where Duncan gets killed. I had a dream that we were roller skating and I was encouraging Duncan to go ahead, he was doing fine. Then out of nowhere there was a teenager driving a car and hit him. I woke immediately. It really made me wonder, because all along I have thought that Duncan was NT and totally typical and it turns out he's not, but just seems more typical than Ian at that age. It made me wonder if my dream was telling me that I'm ignoring symptoms and pushing him into things he's not ready for (like roller skating down the street). We've been contemplating kindergarden for this fall, and we're thinking that although academically he's got the skills and is actually where Ian was the middle of kindergarden year, his PDD issues are going to cause him too many problems. I think my dream was telling me not to push him into what he's not ready for. Dreams are good for waking us up to our fears and working out problems even though they really shake us up.
Aren't you relieved your hubby's coming home?
