baby abortion nightmare

[samh1]

Last Night I had a dream I was at my house. All of my siblings were there. My step mother has kids too. Somehow, My dad and I and veronica(step mom) wanted to abort Brady, Veronica's already born 18mo old. We all sat around him and he didn't look like Brady at all! he was silent. My dad gave me a syringe and gave it to me. The syringe had a dark purple liquid in it. I injected it into the quiet baby while they watched. I had no remorse. Neither my dad or Veronica felt guilty. They told me, "He had medical problems and the custody battle with brady's dad is too hard." In my dream, I remember feeling guilty somewhat... Through out the whole ordeal, Abortion was the term used.

What the hell is wrong with me?! Why am I dreaming this?

Hi Sam,

I'd wonder about how you're feeling when you're awake about your new step brother? I think that would be the information needed to understand the dream. Sibling rivalry is very common, especially with step siblings. Maybe this baby is taking too much of your dad's attention, or your new stepmother's, and you're feeling left out, like you wish the baby wasn't there, and it was just your stepmom? You might not even be conscious of feeling that way, and the dream is there to make you aware of it. It's pretty normal, and doesn't indicate anything's wrong with you, but you need to think about the possibility that you're jealous and weren't prepared for all this! Maybe you could talk to your dad or a counselor at school or something, just to help you get through the changes in your family.

All best with it!

Thanks! I don't think I'm jealous of him. I guess maybe I don't like the fact that he's a baby but he doesn't look like one. He looks like a toddler but is a baby. He doesn't speak. He just cries when he wants something. It makes me upset...
Dreams are definitely weird.

Hiya sam,
I'm sorry you are a bit irritated with your step brother. I know my 14 year old is irritated by his 7 year old brother. Likewise my 20 year old son was irritated at the 14 year old when he was little.
Of my 3 sons, only the 14 year old was speaking by 18 months. The other two were slower with this but not to worry the 20 year old is studying bio chemistry at University so it doesn't mean your step brother isn't clever. The thing I have tried to remind my boys, they were little once too and maybe pretty irritating to someone somewhere. Perhaps you could try to be Brady's friend and set yourself say 5 or 10 minutes a day with him reading him a story or teaching him new words.
I'd not worry about your dream really. It's good you have found the cause and you can do something to fix the frustrations you have surrounding Brady. Good luck!

Yeah, dreams are kinda weird sometimes! I remember being a teenager, with two baby brothers, because my mom miscarried three children, before I finally got my brother John when I was 12, and my brother Tom when I was 15. So I was more like a second mom in a way than a sister. They were stepbrothers, really, as they were the children of my stepfather. It was especially hard for me the summer Tom was born, because besides being pregnant, my mom had surgery on BOTH feet at the same time, and needed to stay off of them for six weeks. We lived near the ocean, and all I wanted was to hang out at the beach with my friends, but I had to be her legs for the summer... bummer! When you're fifteen, this is just so NOT a priority. But I loved my little brothers to pieces, and took them kite flying on the beach and did crafts with them and stuff, though I left home at eighteen, and went off to California my grandmother, stayed there with my aunt for a year, and met my ex and got married... then had my own kids a few years later! Having a little brother can prepare you to do better as a parent if you let it. Consider playing with him as practice.

Some kids start speaking really late. GMA just ran a story about a little four year old who never spoke, and had his parents really worried, until one day he got caught up watching a basketball game on tv, and got all excited and said he wanted to do that! His dad said he spent the mortgage payment buying a pair of tickets to a real game for 600 and something bucks, and it was worth every penny, because the kid was screaming and talking all through the game, and now he talks so much, they have to ask him to be quiet. LOL... some kids just keep it all inside until they are ready, for whatever reason.

One of the nice things about such dreams is that once you figure out what they mean, they don't come back.

Hi,
The above dream was obviously a drug induced dream: "I injected it into the quiet baby while they watched"
When you take drugs, you need vivid and violent dreams to wake you up. Drugs cause electro magnetic noises in the brain dreams have to became gradually more vivid. Give it up!
The others pointed out the psychological side.
Regarding babies talking early or late, it depends on how much time the mother or other adults spend talking to them. Babies are far more intelligent than many adult give them credit for. They are especially prone to pick up tension in the family. They can feel unhappy about it.

ok I must have missed something because I cannot find where he says he took drugs himself before falling asleep (or at any other time).....
