I dreamt about killing babies when i was a child?
I am an only child, and I'd say I was pretty normal, I'm 18, hoping to start higher education soon, etc. For the last 7 or 8 years, the idea of having siblings has really appealed to me, in fact, I find it quite lonely being an only child.
However, this was not always the case. When I was a child (so until I was about 8 years old) the idea of having a little brother or sister actually repulsed me. In fact, I used to beg my mother not to have any more children, and would get upset/angry at the idea of it. I guess this could be seen as normal, childish behaviour.
The thing is, that at this young age, I actually used to have dreams in which there was a baby in my kitchen (and I seemed to know that it was my brother or sister) and I used to kill it by strangling it. Sometimes in the dream, my mother would walk in and stop me, and tell me she hated me, and I would feel upset, but happy that I'd killed the baby! These dreams were not that rare either. I also remember daydreaming/think about this whilst awake. And I did not seem at all disturbed by it!
I have had a very good life so far, have not been abused at all, get on well with my parents. And I haven't had those dreams since I was about 8. But was this normal behaviour for a child? Or was I some psychopath?
