Dream vs. Dream

There was this boy who woke up one night with a nightmare. He cries, “Mummy, Mummy!” His mother came rushing into the bedroom and the boy told her that he had a dream that Grandma died. So a week later, his Grandma died.The boy woke up another night screaming and he told his mother that he dreamt that Grandpa died. Strangely enough, a week later Grandpa died. The boy woke up yet another night screaming that he had a nightmare in which his father died.The mother told the father and he became very cautious. He watched his health and treated his body excellently. So a week passed and the postman died.
     What is a dream? Is it your thoughts at night or your high hopes. These should not be named the same. I do not dream at night about my dreams for the future, nor do I dream of doing my dreams at night in the future.
     Having these two named the same may wreak kids confidence. It tells them that the horrible things that happen in the their dreams are the same thing as what they want for the future. Then, we wonder why children don't want to sleep.
     I have always had scary dreams that skip aroundand do not make any sense. At the end, I usually end up dieing. For example, our house is flooding and I drive the diesel pickup into the water and drown, I am in a sketch old motel and people chase me with needles, or when I am running away from a psychotic killer, I get suck under a fence and he stabs me to death. I have had enough bad dreams to count for 10 people.
     Night dreams should be named mistakes. Then, all of our "mistakes" would happen at night while we are sleeping. Often times our night thoughts are forgotten too. I would definitely enjoy sleeping through and forgetting all of my mistakes.
