Dream Interpretation: My Daughter Was Kidnapped

Visitor's Dream: 'I dreamed that I was with my 10 year old daughter at some type of kids play facility along with a few other family members. Strangely in my dream I had another child that looked exactly like my daughter when she was around 4 years old. It even felt like they were the same child. At the end of our fun day I could not find the youngest child. She had been kidnapped. They shut the facility down and called authorities. I was running frantically everywhere looking for her. I kept asking my eldest child, "where is your sister"? She kept saying, "I don't know". The police arrived and started investigating. They brought in a couple of women who had experienced the same thing to comfort me. I kept staring at my eldest child and seeing my younger child in her face. It felt like they were the same person. I felt helpless, neglectful and felt like I did not protect my daughter. I kept telling everyone, "please wake me up from this dream" and they kept telling me that it wasn't a dream. They made me take a nap and when I woke up I came running out and yelling, "It was just a dream" and then I was reminded that she was still missing. I woke up shortly after that and burst into tears because it felt so real. I could not wait to pick up my daughter from school and hug her tight.'
