Keep dreaming son is crying

[Dinkiedoo]

My son is in his 40s married and lives quite far away.
I keep having dreams about him and he's always younger and always crying .
Last night I dreamt he was about 10 and at my front door crying.He had taken a camera to school so I guess he had lost it or something .In the dream I ran downstairs to get key to let him in but before I got to him I woke up . My mum was also in dream and I couldn't figure out why she didn't open door.
These dreams really upset me. This last one made me cry.

Ring him and have a good chat. Tell him you love him.

I do

You probably just miss him because he lives far away. Our children are always our babies, no matter how old they/we get. Maybe you could arrange a trip to visit him?

Please pray for him. Dreams tell pass messages to us: I personally believe so.

I think it says that you are worried about him even if everything seems ok you have an underlying worry. It could be because you are worrying type (and usually it’s this) but it might be because you haven’t seen him for a while.
My mum has this at the moment, I live in a different country from her and she sees me very rare now so I suppose it’s one of this thing. Also it’s your age (sorry) I think we think about the far away past more with age.
And personally I would look at your diet before bed, some food close to bed always get me bad dreams.

Personally, dreams for me are always to do with my feelings being acted out.
I frequently have had a recurrent dream about not being able to contact my work no matter what I do - the phone won't work etc. For me it is about being anxious and feeling not feeling in control of something.
Do you feel anxious about your son? Helpless and unable to help him over something? When you think about your son, his circumstances or a situation in his life, does that evoke the same feelings that are in your dreams?

I see him quite often despite the distance.we text too.
I'm always sad when I leave him

Your dreams are processing your fears. Your son is far away and you really want him to be happy in his life, so your fear is that he isn't and that's coming out in dreams where he is crying and you're trying to fix it. It's a normal maternal anxiety to worry about our children's happiness. Sometimes because we're getting red flags there are issues, sometimes because our minds can't rest and accept its fine and start giving us some worry work to do. If he's happy then each night remind yourself of that before you go to sleep. Picture him enjoying his life and hold that as your last thought of the day.

Oh I wasn't saying you don't, I meant since you're feeling sad, hearing him will make you feel better.
