4 year old dreaming he's naked?

Question

My 4 year old said he had a dream that he was at church naked last night. I know dreaming you're naked (at least for an adult) means you feel vulnerable or threatened; what does it mean for a child? He seemed to think it was funny, wasn't upset about it or anything.

Answer 1

Many kids like and in fact enjoy being naked. It is freedom from clothes all that restriction they feel comfortable. We have a 2yrs old grandchild and loves it when you take his pull ups off. Often times his mother will let him run around like that just so his butt can dry out, he has never had a dipper rash. Our neighbor lets there 2 yr old and 5 yr old run around like that al the time boy boys and they think nothing of it. They let them jump into the pool that way, save on dippers(mother BTW is very cute). He is not a pervert just one of those things. Has he seen other naked around the house? If so maybe in his little mind that what he see's he feel sis OK so it is OK in his mind and it just happens to be church is the setting he will grow out of it in time.

Answer 2

dreams have no meaning. its just a bunch of random thoughts your brain puts together while you sleep.

Answer 3

idk but theres nothin worng with him

it was just a weird dream

he will forget about it soon..lol

Answer 4

he's a pervert!!!

Answer 5

It could mean he feels safe and completely accepted in your church.  Is your church rather like an extended family?

Answer 6

Children have a fascination with silly things, like being naked, going to the bathroom, and other interesting things. it's a phase, and i wouldnt worry about it. If it ever starts to bother him, i would then be concerned.

Good Luck! =]

Oh and for those who call this child a pervert, have you any consideration? This is a concerned mother asking a question. Grow up!

Answer 7

nothing then if he thought it was funny.

He is 4. I think he is fine.

Answer 8

I think your child wants to be irreverent or get attention at church.  Normally, dreams of being naked are fears of vulnerability; but because he thought it was funny, it tells me he may like to get attention too much and this is one way to do it.

Answer 9

Four year olds are innocent.  He may feel free and comfortable in church.  Don't over analyze.  Sometimes a horse is just a horse.

Answer 10

It is normal if he feels scared about something or he feels worried or embarrased maybe?

Answer 11

well maybe he feels free when he is naked and he knows

deep down inside one place you do not want to show up naked

is church. so he might have felt powerful because he knew

he was doing something he shouldnt do.

hope i helped! :)

Answer 12

maybe he just really wants to go to church naked, that is the way god intended

Answer 13

I used to dream about monsters under the bed.  This is no big deal.
