Griffins Night Terrors
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and am so happy to have found such a caring group to help us through this experience we are having with our 5 1/2 yr old son, Griffin. He has been affraid to sleep by himself since he was born. The night terrors started around the age of two. These terrors are a sight to see...He screams, and shakes so hard that the first time, I thought he was having convulsions! The 'episodes' aren't very frequent but when they happen, it is severe. In the mean time, in between terrors, he has always had a terrible phobia to fire, especially the thought of our house burning down. He tells us that the fire always starts in our bedroom (me and my husbands) He also has always slept on the floor next to our bed no matter what we have done to make his room more enjoyable and comfortable. When we ask him about his nightmares he will always tell us about bombs, explosions, fire, and bright flashing lights, or he tells us he would rather not speak about it.
I am trying very hard to construct this post in a manner that all of you can follow, but as sleep has alluded me for many years now, and our experiences are all over the board, I'll do my best. I must also mention that Griffin has had an imaginary friend named Oscar since he was two yrs old as well. Oscar has two functions in Griffins life, he is a person that arrives in almost all of Griffins dreams/terrors, but is also the name he gave his little beany baby dog...They are not the same thing Griffin says. Oscar is sometimes a participant in the harmful side of things! We haven't heard much about Oscar for a while now, but in the last few days as the terror episodes have increased, Griffin has made it clear that Oscar is with him in his dreams/terrors.
I want to mention that Griffin has a rather lagre birthmark on his left upper arm. No one else in my family has this type of marking. Although, being 95% Irish we are rather inundated with freckles and moles. Griffin calls it his "k mark", we don't know why, but he does and will not say why, he refuses to talk about it.
I also want to mention that Griffin has a fixation with Hawaii. He speaks of wanting to go there constantly, and has informed us matter of factly that when he flys there he will have to stop in Texas!! No one has ever talked to him about this, however a flight to Hawaii from N.H., DOES have a stop over in Texas!!! Might I add that Griffin was born on December 7th 1999, Pearl Harbor Day!
I have located a certified accredited Past Life Regrestionist who resides in Burlington VT (the closest we could find). It is going to be a financial hardship to pay her the fee, but at this point I am willing to sell my soul, for my sweet childs' peace of mind...Not to mention, I need a little bit of sleep as well. I have a ten month old who sleeps through the night but not my 5 1/2 yr old!!
Any advice would be apprectiated....But in advance I want to say...Thank you God, For these Wonderful People..Please help us heal my child!!!
Light and Love to All Of You,
Tracy
