Nigerian relationship commentator Blessing CEO has revealed that her late nine-year-old son, Bryan, reportedly told family members that he had dreamt of his own death before he passed away.

She said she only learnt about the dreams after his death, when her first son, Darrell, and her younger sister, Precious, separately recounted the incidents.

According to Blessing, Darrell recalled Bryan telling him one day that he had dreamt he died. Her sister also reportedly said the boy ran into her room to share a similar dream.

Blessing said Precious prayed for Bryan at the time but did not consider the dream a cause for concern. She added that her son had also told his father about it but never shared the experience with her while he was alive.

Urging parents, particularly mothers, to pay attention when children express fears or troubling experiences, she said: “Especially to mothers, please pick this as a lesson.”

Blessing also disclosed that Bryan suffered from severe asthma, a condition she shares with him. She described him as highly asthmatic and hyperactive, adding that she had learnt to manage her own condition as she grew older.

She urged parents to listen carefully to their children and take their concerns seriously, saying she hoped her experience would serve as a lesson to other families.
