Thread: Disturbing dream about a dead child

Hi! Thank you so much for reading.

I often have fairly vivid dreams and even dream lucidly from time to time, so it's not common for me to feel disturbed by my dreams but this one really got to me.

I dreamt I was in a restaurant with my boyfriend who is divorced currently, we are getting married in three months. Just for a little background

In this restaurant it was very dark and we were both dressed very nice. Somehow I overheard another family talking about the death of their daughter, my boyfriend heard and joined in with them, highly upset and felt as if he could relate well with these people due to the fact that he is also having to move from his children. It's a long story, please no judgement here.

So in the middle is this conversation about their little girl, who apparently climbed out of her bedroom window and fell from a roof pitch, I see this bedroom with windows that have thick wooden panels covering them. There is a little papillon dog making a strange sounding bark by the windows, so I walk over to check it out. Suddenly I can see through the windows and there is the little girl on the roof and I thought, OMG! There she is! She's not dead. I reach through the window right as she's about to slide as catch her hand to pull her back in. But instead of being able to save her, her arm begins to lengthen and stretch and even though I'm holding her hand, she falls. But as she falls, she gives me this really malicious looking grin...so I let go of her as I realize, because of the look, that this was not her and she was already dead like the parents said.

Then her mother walks in and says, I noticed the dog barking in such a strange way...I should have known something was wrong. She was trying to warn me (daughter) was outside the window.

Ok...then that was over and it turns back to this restaurant scene, except now my boyfriend is very agitated because his ex wife is supposed to meet him there. I kind if tag along behind him and see her, close to the door, sitting in a booth with some files in her hand. She is dressed very attractively and in this hat (horse races, sexy blonde plantation owner daughter), yet she's obviously being very manipulative and has a sort of holier than thou air about her.

She has some kind of papers for him to sign and is threatening him, very covertly, and he is very disheveled looking.

Finally he signs and she leaves, but in the meantime he's left upset and she prances out happily.

I asked him how he felt after that and he says, honestly it makes me miss them. And this made me really sad...woke me up in a semi cry.

Strange enough, I called him and he was upset because he had to talk to his ex that night. She did something with som legal papers that will cause his move to be delayed, which quite frankly infuriated him.

So there ya go. What do you think? The child part disturbed me the most. I've had other dreams of trying to save a little girl, and this is the second in which I could not because she was already dead. But it's the first in which she gives me a very evil looking scary grin while I'm holding onto her! Uuuuhhhggggghhhh...
