Child Abused
3 February, 2010
Q. Last night I woke from the most horrific dream, it had me in tears. It was pretty short, it consisted of me thinking my daughter was fairly quiet in her bedroom, aged 2 1/2, so I went to check up on her. When I opened the door there was a man, unknown to me who looked very pleased in the fact that he had just sexually abused my daughter. I then ran into the room and kicked the man in the head and at that point I woke up. This dream has really scared me, I can't get it out of my head and it's getting me down. I hope you can help me as lack of sleep and worry is really starting to affect me, I am also 21 weeks pregnant.
A. I'm not surprised that you were upset by this dream. It would be a mother's worst nightmare to think her child is being abused, and in the dream, you actually saw it! I can imagine you're worried that this dream is a warning but I really don't think that's the case. We all dream lots of awful scenarios that never happen. My feeling is that it's to do with a general anxiety because you're pregnant. Emotions are heightened as hormones rage in early pregnancy. Please don't keep replaying this horrible episode as it will increase your fears. In every way, your dream speaks of triumph. You kicked the attacker in the head which means you will always protect your children and keep them safe. Believe that and you'll be okay.
