    In this nightmare my best friend's kids were my kids, so instead of having my two boys, I had a 7 year old son and a two year old daughter. My father and stepmother were visiting or rather it appeared both we and them were staying at a big hotel. And it seemed that both my husband and I had trouble keeping track of our kids, multiple times in the dream one of us thought the kids were with the other while the other thought they were with one. At the end of the dream, my daughter went missing, and I knew I would never see her again, and I knew it was my fault because of how negligent a parent I was, and it appeared that my father and stepmother were mostly in this dream to witness that. Though at one point I also saw my stepmother sprawled across my father in a way that was indecent for in public, while they were sitting on a bench outside, so there was this awkward moment there too.

      A few thought of why I had this dream: I am a bit feverish and thus likelihood of nightmares is higher, my sons are also sick and at home, but while I am mostly sprawled in bed they are playing with Legos and such in the other room - I remember I felt a bit guilty over not paying more attention to them today, though they don't appear to need it, also I remember earlier today recalling my kidnappers series of nightmares that I had earlier this year, and I was also giving a dream interpretation to someone on the forum which reminded me of my miscarried child which I always thought would have been a girl if she had lived - but since she did not live I know I shall never see her again. So it appears my feverish mind took those elements, jumbled them all up, and created this nightmare - thanks, mind!

      I think what happens to you resonates with the deeper level, and parallels figuratively what is going on with you there:

      Maybe at this time you wanted to be best friends with your kids - probably what you have figuratively grown beyond yourself, and your male side is older. So you may have lost sight of it or had trouble with it.

      Your father idea visited you, so maybe the old you became in charge. But your mother idea or what you would become was now taken over by something else, in what was maybe a temporary situation.
      You had trouble keeping track of your growth to be in charge. Many times your normal side thought it was in control of it, and your control thought it was with the usual you. So neither side of you had it.

      Therefore at the end, your new female you that was growing went missing, which you thought you would never see again - it probably just seemed this way - because you were negligent in bringing it up at some point. Or remembering the loss of your real daughter made you feel or fear you would never see this new side of you too.
      So you witnessed your old self became in charge of you, and on top of that your place was taken over which at one point you saw was indecent in your life, which was awakward for you.

      Kidnapping dreams can mean being taken away from your usual you too.
      Also, not to say this dream could not have been brought on by being sick, or how that made you react.
