My oldest son who is 21 has been having a rough time lately.
Last night I had a dream that I was sleeping on the floor in a very small room high above what appeared to be a gymnasium. Within a few feet of where I was lying was an overlook without any guards or railings. This was not an ordinary gymnasium as the room I was sleeping in was probably two stories high and the entire room down below was covered with a mat, like you would see at a gymnastics or wrestling event.
I was awakened by the screaming of someone in obvious pain. As I listened to the scream I recognized the voice as that of my oldest son. I could tell that he was in extreme pain and was suffering. The sound was coming from down below. I crawled over to the overlook and I could see my son laying face down, and there were a lot of people gathered around trying to help him.
He had jumped or fell from the room I was in, several stories down to the mat.
I then woke up. The sound of him screaming in pain has haunted me all day.
