Dream baby dream

By MandieL - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - Canada - Edmonton

Today, I rushed over to stop my infant daughter from falling off her swing. Luckily just before she hit the ground, I woke up. Unfortunately, I woke up because I'd rolled off my bed and hit the floor. FML

PLOT TWIST! OP has no infant child... *twilight zone music*

Even in the dreams, you are a great parent.

At least you have good parental instincts even when you're unconscious. Hopefully rolling out of bed didn't injure you in some way OP.

Wtf r u doing falling asleep and leaving ur baby girl on the swing!

Adult nightmares suck, they always involve real life scenarios. Kids have it easy, they're always being chased by monsters or dreaming of infinite cupcakes.

Would suck if next time she falls you assume it's a dream when it's not lol

not cool, just not cool. what if that was your kid.

I'm very glad it was just a dream. I usually don't move when I sleep, but when I have a really emotional dream, I tend to act out in the real world. I've elbowed my husband a couple of times, and I think I reached out in my sleep and because I sleep at the edge of the bed, the movement made me fall off lol. It sucked, but was kinda funny. As for my daughter, I never leave her in her swing without being buckled up. :) Thanks for the reassurances!
