Her daughter had been having the same nightmare lately. She was going on a trip with her mom and when they got to the airplane, her mom got on the plane and left her behind.
It sort of was breaking my friend's heart just telling me about it. Of course school was starting and her daughter was entering first grade and maybe she was feeling a wee bit anxious.
I shared with her what I would do/have done.
I said to lay in bed that night together and tell your daughter about a love shield. You can call it anything you like, but I'd like to call it a love shield. Tell her that the whole family is protected by a love shield that connects mummy and daddy to her. It will never allow anyone to be left behind and will always keep you safe, especially in your dreams and if you have the same dream again use the power of the love shield to change your dream.
I know what you're thinking...did it work? Of course it worked. I've done it before with my own children and found it gave them a sense of well being and comfort.
Any other nightmares out there?
