Hi, you have lots of information on a variety of bad dreams involving children. But I often dream about my son being lost. Usually somehow we get separated on a train or train station. My son is now 11 and I’m having bad dreams of him more often then ever at the moment. I have a 13 year old daughter too but don’t dream as often about her. I know my children are safe in their beds at night but I still need to go down and check on them after these dreams (which is every night at the moment).
Is this a common dream?
Hi Kellie,
Please read through the thread on kids being being kidnapped or running away, it’s the same emotional dynamic

Certainly wishing you peace asleep and awake :)
