I had not even thought of this dream in years until I had to come up with something to write about for the blogfest. I was not afraid of much as a child, so this was the only thing I could think of. LOL<br /><br />This blog hop sure was fun. I enjoyed reading about some of the childhood fears from skeletons to Santa. Yes, one person was afraid of Santa.

I put it down to the sense of betrayal a child feels when a parent chastises us or otherwise "betrays" what we expect. I'm pretty sure parents don't do it on purpose, but they can be somewhat inconsistent :) Thanks for sharing!Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-68517075305558591962012-08-09T13:58:59.990-07:002012-08-09T13:58:59.990-07:00I've often wondered how that dying in your dre...I've often wondered how that dying in your dream works.
