Bad Dreams
I had the most awful dream last night. Sophie had disappeared on her way home from school, and Bobby and I were driving in the dark through rain and flooded rivers looking for her. I was terrified. I somehow knew we'd never find her and I also knew losing her was my fault. I woke up at about 2am and the sense of relief when I realised it wasn't real and she was safe and well was indescribable. I think the dream was probably triggered by the recent news stories about a little girl who really has disappeared. I can't bear to think that her parents must be living my nightmare.

How frightening! As parents, the idea of a child going missing really is the worst imaginable nightmare.
Oh gawd. That's terrible. I've a recurring nightmare wherein I dream I find Griffin dead, from drowning. Dreadful feeling to wake up with.
Anyway, I had a dream about you and your family last night! I ran into you in a hotel room in Germany!

Those dreams stay with me all day; I know just how you feel. I just can't imagine the terror of losing a child to the unknown.
