I had a chillingly terrifying nightmare last night. It has stuck with me all day. I am still quite upset by it.
Dream synopsis:
I was watching one of my beloved nieces, Marly. She's five. She wanted to go to the mall. Of course I took her there. Once there, she wanted to go to Micky D's to eat. Of course I took her there. While there, a group of people that I knew came in and I was chatting with them. Marly wanted to leave to go to the water park that was next door, still in the mall in that strangely convoluted way that things are set up in dreams. Finally I said okay and watched her walk over there (it was about 20 dream feet away). She began to play with friends. I became distracted and when I looked back over, she was gone. I looked and looked but couldn't find her. Panicked, I called the police, who told me that they had found her body in some woods a few miles away. She had been abducted, abused and murdered.
I then had to call my sister to tell her; then I had to call my mom to tell her; then (for some reason) I had to call my other niece, Marly's 4-year-old sister Edie, to tell her.
It was just awful. I woke up out of breath and crying and this whole day has been a bit "off".
While I have no children of my own, the thought of any of my nieces or nephews being kidnapped, abused or murdered is so devastating, I can't BEGIN to imagine how horrible it would be for my sister if that really happened.
So now I am trying to see if I can squeeze a trip out to SF into my schedule and budget, just to make sure with my own eyes that Marly is okay.
I hope this week gets better.
