What does it mean if I dreamed my granddaughter was kidnapped?

Answer 1

The dream somehow expresses your emotions about your granddaughter OR possibly about yourself. The obvious meaning would be concern about something happening in your granddaughter's life; note that the dream only illustrates your own emotions. It does NOT predict any actual kidnapping or any other future problem. But it could highlight your feeling that your granddaughter is being manipulated inappropriately, or that she is being "carried away" by some person or group that does not further her best interests.
> Or, the granddaughter in the dream could symbolize yourself, your own Inner Child, your innocent, vulnerable, creative self. In this sense, the dream might suggest that there are parts of your own life that have been abused or carried away by something that is not in your best interest.

Answer 2

I used to have those dreams about my daughters all the time when they were younger. They were sometimes so vivid that I would get up in the middle of the night to check on them.

I think that it was just things that were in the back of my mind coming forward as I slept. It's every parent's (and probably grandparent's) worst nightmare, literally. It is only natural that our mind would latch onto it from time to time.

As mine got older, those particular nightmares went away, and my insecurities about other things popped up. Try not to let them haunt you, and use them as a good reminder to hug her a little tighter next time you see her.
