Re: scarey nightmare
Have you and mom heard about a kidnap lately? Is your kid taking more risks; changing school, walking instead of taking the school bus, hanging with older friends?.
Or has he had noticeable changes in his behavior as being desobedient, when he was not?
A part of him that is changing, can be expressed in the dream as kidnaped.
Be cautious, but don´t panic.
From another point of view.
This dream might be just about you.
Probably you have lost in yourself all the nice qualities a 8 year old has, eg; being spontanious, curious, full of energy,expectant about life etc
The kidnap which is represneted with your kid, might sybolize those nice kid like aspects,taken away form you.
Good luck!
