Do you Believe in Dreams

I would love more than anything to dream about my son. I believe some dreams have meaning. Others just never make any sense. But I need to dream about my son, a connection is what it would be. The only snippets I get are just that... snippets of him running away. I wake up in frustration. Would rather nothing at all than this type of "dream". Anybody else experience this?

No but I used too. For me not dreaming or remembering them is better.

I have not had this type of dream no Carol. I can only imagine the upset this must cause you and very frustrating. It would be good if Dustin was facing you and coming toward you even. I am so sorry for the loss of your son, I am assuming something happened to him. It must be devastating.

@CarolDM Thank you for sharing with me Carol. Sorry is not enough to even say for this type of loss. Just the loss must feel like punishment and now with these disturbing dreams oh my goodness. Suffering is what that is those dreams, suffering for you. Intense, I can understand as a Mother myself.

@Courage7 You are welcome. Was going to write about it but most don't want to hear sad news. Thank you for taking the time for your kind words. It is has been several years but still feels like it just happened on many days. Hug your children.

It is as if I am being punished, that is the feeling. Yes he took his own life at 16, my only child.

Oh yeah I have lots of dreams that are meaningless but I think they are just sending some message to us which we have to decipher. Although I am not able to interpret it immediately sometimes it takes time before you fully understand it or many times you are not able to decipher its message at all.

@CarolDM Yeah but i think dreams are just made of it to be abstract for you to figure them out.

@CarolDM I cannot imagine your pain and honestly I dont even know what to say to comfort you, I believe that time cannot erase what you feel but I think that talk about your son is good for you and helps you to deal with your loss.

That is my problem, I cannot see his face when I dream, and it is rare to dream at all. Thank you.

He took his life at age 16. My only child. I do not mind, it has been several years. I guess I need to write about him.

I dreamed about my cat last night..and in the dream when I took him to the vet..it wasn't anything major. I hope that is the case in real life. I hope that you and your son are happily re united at some time..

@CarolDM sometimes it drives us to do something more to chase our "dream"

I believe that some dreams have a meaning, I had the proof of this several times. I had dreams that showed me that I had to do something and do it immediately.

I had a clear view of my mother. I cried before going to sleep and told God how much she's missed. To my surprise, I did see her standing in the dining room. I don't call this a dream though. She was just standing there looking in my direction. Did I just imagine this?

I'm so sorry for the loss of your child. I do have dreams of the departed sometimes. I'm always so happy to see them.Maybe if you go to bed relaxing and thinking good thoughts about your son it would help.I don't have those dreams often but sometimes I do.

I know and it can be so frustrating but it may be a blessing we can't remember.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You miss him like anything, you want to feel the connection you had with him ,which is what happens when we loose our loved ones.I can not even imagine the pain you must be going through everyday , every moment. But I must say you are coping with your loss in a constructive manner. May god give you all the strength.

This may not be the same to you but for me it is. The cats and dogs that I share life with are family to me and mine. My daughter was very close to one of our dogs. She shared with me that she has had dreams that had Susie in them. It felt like Susie was saying goodbye to her. I hope you do feel contact with your son. Hugs to you.
