sards Posted December 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2016 My son is a very energetic and strong willed 8 year old. So full of anger and impatience . Just recently he had a dream where he said he saw Jesus and Jesus asked him to come to the light. .......no......we don't let him watch TV or movies that would indicate this. Obviously we were shocked. Since then his behavior has changed completely. He is suddenly loving and grateful for everything and is not so angry anymore. We only made the link to the dream today whilst pondering the chance in his behavior. Any opinions on this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan max2 Posted December 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I was debating about not replying to this but I couldn't help it. This is ridiculous. 8 year olds have no control over their enviormet or life really at that age. If he is angry and misbehaving then it's just a reaction to something else going on in the family or at school or whatever. Jesus telling an 8 year old to "come to the light" suggesting that this little kid is consciously being a "bad" person is ridicoulous and insulting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has sensory processing disorder which means that there are triggers to his anger. And the anger is from frustration.

eight bits Posted December 7, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2016 sards If he can identify the dream character as Jesus, then I'd estimate he's absorbed enough information from the surrounding culture to associate Jesus with invitations to "come into the light," either directly, or by connecting the dots between a comforting figure and a common image of being comforted. As to the relationship, if any, between the dream and the behavior change, it sounds like you've been receiving some advice about the situation (you know about "triggers" to anger). Might it be profitable to discuss this dream and what you've seen since then with that source of advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
