Last night I had the most terrifyingly real nightmare ever..... In the middle of the night I awoke to a bunch of voices and scuffling about. I got up to see what was going on and realized there were like 10 people in my house, rummaging through my things (I later found out they were planting drugs). When I started to race upstairs, I saw my ex coming down and behind him was someone holding my son. I quickly realized my ex was trying to kidnap my son and plant drugs in my house to make me seem like an unfit mother. I quickly grabbed my son and handed him to my husband where the two of them went and hid out. I spent what seemed like an eternity chasing my ex through my house, trying to get all the various people out. When I walked outside, I saw at least 13-15 people, some I used to consider friends. I was hysterical, trying to figure out what was going on and in complete rage that my ex would do such a thing. Basically it's all the same from there, arguing, me trying not to beat the living piss out of everyone involved for stealing my child. When my husband, child and I left though, it was almost impossible to find a police man to help because there was irrigation tubing that spilled all in front of my house so every cop in my town was directing traffic and unable to help at the time. Oh, and when I did call 911 I kept getting redirected to a police station in Arizona. ______________________ The craziest thing was, it was SOOO real. I have never had a dream that was THAT life-like. I didn't even know till about 2 minutes after I woke up that I was dreaming. I remember so much detail... 1.) The license plate of the car he was in was 7G7SRS. For some reason my brain couldn't read it so I assigned animals to the letters. (In my mind I saw animal heads where there should have been #s) This should've been my first clue it was a dream but I was so determined to catch him I was trying everything to remember. 2.) The faces. I can recognize at least 8 of the people that were involved and they all seem like the type of people who would be willing to help him do such a thing. Not until later did I realize that one of the girls (Jessie) was double. There was a "good" Jessie and a "evil" Jessie. The good one was dressed in yellow tank and jeans and had red hair. The Evil one had black hair and black clothes. (Also should've been an indicator it was a dream) 3.) When we finally did get a cop that would help us, I remember his face completely. To the point I could've picked him out of a lineup. 4.) My house was EXACTLY the same. Usually in dreams my house is a hodge-podge of rooms from different places. 5.) My front door (Which you can open with a credit card) had been broken and mangled from being opened w/ a CC and kicked in. 6.) I was wearing the PJ's I went to bed in that night. The dream was so long and there were so many different things happening that it was UNBELIEVABLY real. I've always had a very strong connection to the dream world, to the point where I've had "premonition" type dreams. Also had dead relatives visit me. Anyways, this dream totally freaked me out because what if it was something like that? A premonition? I'm moving at the end of the month and I'm going to push for it sooner just because this dream had me so freaked out. Somebody help ease my mind. This was SO real and scary.
there's a couple of things that I can think of one is to prepare yourself in the event of such a thing happening. what would you do if your ex tried to kidnap your son? how would you prepare? maybe you could talk to your husband about this, as well as your son. I'm not suggesting that this sounds like something that is likely to happen. from what I recall of your previous posts, it sounds like your ex has no interest in your son the reasons for preparing are not primarily practical, but rather to set your mind at ease can you have a new lock installed on your door? I think you could at least add one of those sliding bolt or chain type locks. or several. is there a safe room within the house that could also be locked? there may be some child safety websites out there that might have some advice.
Thanks E. We're moving at the end of the month and until then we're going to stay at my moms. I don't care that this was just a dream, the thought of this actually happening has not left my mind since I woke up. Like I said, it was SOOooo real! I unfriended on fb the people that were helping him in my dream. Again, just a dream, but I could see it actually happening. I can't get that thought out of my head...I sincerely thought he was kidnapping him. As far as the child safety sites, ive already registered him to the ones we qualify for. (notice if a passport is applied for him) but there's not much locally I can do since nothings happened and I would look like a crazy if I said I needed help based on a dream.
I think you should take it easy with the moving and security measures unless you base your concerns on something other than this dream. I think it relates to the changes in the people around you when you and your ex split up (house symbolizing family and friends). There may be former friends that you don't see anymore due to the breakup and new people to relate to. The inability to contact the police could mean that no-one seems to help you out in establishing your new social circle. The policeman you managed to get interested in the situation seems to be your Animus, your male side (if you give Jung any credit). You need to find the strenght inside yourself to create a more stabile environment for yourself since this will not be done for you. The broken door could symbolize a transition gone wrong, related to the breakup again. Being in PJ (or naked) in public is a common type of dream where you suspect that others can see right through you and will notice any flaws you might have. Btw, I don't know you or anything. I am not any kind of shrink but just a random dude from the internet with an opinion on dreams. If you don't feel safe then of course take your precausions, just be sure what you do.
I tend not to get scary nightmares, actually can't think of one but I have these re-occurring dreams where I am trying to get somewhere and can't ... I wake up and fall right back into the same ass dream that won't go away. Once in a dream of this nature someone was following me and I felt they were going to kill me; I turned around to confront them and I woke up, only to find myself back into that maze of trying to get somewhere and can't!
Ratio, normally I would totally take your views to heart, but in this case I can't. You made some very valid points (Police, friends/social circle) which I will consider, but I think it's the safest bet for us to continue with our plan. We were already planning on moving so that's no skin off my back, but staying at my mom's this weekend is a new precaution. I also had already registered him for the online stuff previously because I was worried about it. We also split up over 2 years ago and I've completely accepted everything so I don't think it's anything to do with that. And as far being in PJ's, no one in my dream even gave me a second look and I didn't even make the connection till after I woke up. Thank you very much for your interpretation!
the way dreams work, a sentence from years ago can stay buried in your mind, even deep enough that yu never think about them...but they can surface in yur dreams.. did yu ever at one point have a fear of him doing this? were yu watching a movie or hear a recent news story about drug planting? did he ever say anything like he would try n take your son? any of these things could have caused this dream to occur. but im not gonna go as far to say that yu had a vision of the future n yu stopped something that was gonna happen from happening. but i think you made the right choice in moving and unfriending/breaking contact from the ppl helping him in the dream because this will help you deal with the situation. but as far as the fear from the dream, i understand what its like to have a dream so vivid with deep detail and everything. your not alone
Yeah, I'm ok now. I realize it was just a dream, but dang! It WAS so real! I guess subconsciously I was worried about those things but never vocalized them. Thanks for the reply guys.
