So sorry you had such an awful night. Try to put it out of your mind as soon as possible. Look at reasons why you might be feeling anxious about your little son. It might be with all dreadful things that are in the news at present, about small children being abused and killed. There is usually something like that, which is there in your subconcious, which rears its head in even more graphic images, when you are asleep, and not in control in the same way as you are when you are awake. Please try not to dwell on it. Hope you have a better nights sleep tonight.

I always have bad dreams about ,y ywo year old brother being killed and its usually when I am anxious about him or somthing that involves him I find It best just to relax and prove to myself that its not real.

With all the dreadful things our brains are being propulsed with every day on the news as Schuntengel says our sub-concious has to deal with it. Lately, it's been babies and children in the front pages so not surprising your nightmare was about that (as you've got a young child) and how you'd cope in a bad situation. It usually happens when we're stressed about something.
I had loads of nightmares after the woman was found after 24 years locked up by her father with her children in Austria. My sub-concious just couldn't take it.

Just a thought, are you on any medication? the worst and most vivid nightmare i ever had was down to some prescribed medication. I told my doc he changed the meds and i was then Fine.

My wife has very vivid dreams and can trouble her all day I've known her for over 20 years and none of them have come true and lately she has come to terms with them and they are having less affect on her now. I know she tends to get the when she is stressed and tired.

I hope this helps. i don't think your alone with this one
