Dream 6/1/2025 I was playing with a little girl. I’m not sure how I was related - possibly not mine but we had toys and the little girl was dirty and disheveled. She had to be around 2 or 3. I cleaned her up, put on socks and buckled her coverall top to the little coverall dress she was wearing. There was a jacket of some sort also that she was wearing. I washed her tiny face and showed her how to wipe the dirt off the toys we were playing with. It was time to clean up. There were other kids in the room and a couple of other adults (face was not in view). I saw my son, Billy, standing to the side. He was the age of a small child, probably about 2 or 3. Cyndi was over there too. I walked to Billy and as I took steps toward him, he seemed to age before my eyes. He grew and he got older and I stopped and watched as he and Cyndi were sharing a snack. They both looked around 9 or 10 at this point. They were having chocolate chip cookies and milk together. Suddenly, Billy took the whole jug of milk and began drinking it. Surprised by the strange and unsanitary behavior, the other adults in the room turned around and looked at him. I ran to him to try and stop him. Each step I took he grew taller and aged to almost 20, but he was still drinking the milk as though the growth and aging did not affect him in any way. He was taller than me, but still very thin. I took it from him and set it on the counter as he began vomiting milk and cookies everywhere. I directed him to the sink so the vomit would go in there instead of the counter and on Cyndi. I tried to comfort him and snagged some dish towels to help him control the stream and to hold against his forehead. Once he stopped vomiting, he grabbed the jug again like someone who was so thirsty they couldn’t stop drinking. He drank more and more, sucking the jug in with the pressure of him drinking. He then pulled it away and began vomiting more. I woke in the panic of trying to stop him and help him. It was horrible.
