I can still remember a recurring nightmare that I had when I was a child. I don’t experience the dream anymore, but the memory of how I felt at the time still remains. You can help me see if there is a pattern with this type of dream, and how many children have had this type of a dream.

Hello and welcome to Good For You Living. Today’s video I want to share something that is quite intimate, the thoughts I had when my mind was young.
I want to share this for two reasons, to see if people have had the same thoughts when they were younger and were never expressed it. And the second reason is to say that thoughts and ideas of a young mind are valid and we should listen and pay closer attention to them.
When I was about 5 years old I had a really vivid recurring nightmare. I can still remember it and remember how I felt about the dream. It was quite frightening at the time and I didn’t really tell anyone as it was a dream and I didn’t understand what dreams were, I mean they were just there.
My dreams involved me playing outside of my house by myself, then all of a sudden being taken away from my family, what felt like being sold to these new people. The feeling was terrifying and the many nights following I did not look forward to going to sleep as the dreams would return.
It wasn’t til much later in life that I was talking with a friend and they said they had experienced the same kind of dream when they were very young. Same kind of scenario, them having the same kind of feelings and it being a recurring nightmare.
Theirs differed to mine in that my perpetrators were HR Puff and Stuff,
Yes that big old orange fella was a cruel baby snatcher. For many years after I could not watch the TV program. It was probably the witch that was the scary thing for me – but it was definitely HR that took me away.
So many many more years later I believe that I’ve come up with a theory and I want to reach out to see others if they have, I want to reach out to others to see if they have experienced the same and see if there is a pattern.
Now every child will experience separation anxiety from their mother and parents, it’s natural. from the womb and direct physical connection to being out in the air breathing environment, it’s completely foreign.
Most go through their separation anxiety really early after birth spanning so many months or years. It’s mainly expressed in crying and wanting of proximity. And I believe many will have experienced it the same way I did as well through dreams.
Do you think it’s related? The separation anxiety and the dreams.
I am really interested in the dreams that you’ve had and what country you were living in at the time and the history of that country. And if there is a connection between dreams and history.
