THE DREAM My 3 year old had a dream that a blue snake was chasing him and then he tripped and fell, and the snake bite him in the neck.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION He woke up screaming and crying. It was quite scary. Last week we had to get rid of his puppy and his best friend moved away. he has been having this/similar dreams of snakes for a while now since we told him his friend was moving

Three year old children find it difficult to make sense of the world. They lack any real control of the world that they live in... things just happen to them. Its a big change for a friend to move away.

He only really sees things in terms of good things and bad things. things that make him happy and things that make him sad. So losing his friend for whatever reason will be the equivalent of being told off.

All you can do is explain it to him properly ... but that will probably not do any good. He will soon get over it... just find him a new friend and he will forget it in a very short time.

Its just something he needs to get used to. Just tell him its not his fault. He may think he is to blame. He just needs to know that bad things happen and sometimes its beyond our control.
