Hey all,
I've had a similar dream dozens of times and that's what has brought me here today. I would love some insight.

I constantly have dreams that a child dies under my care.
Once I had a dream that I was playing with a baby holding it up in the air making it giggle then I dropped it and killed it.
Another time I had a dream I was giving a young child a bath and I watched it drown... I felt guilt and horror but did nothing to save it, as if I couldnt save it.
I have had several others.

Some how in each dream the death is my fault and I feel incredible guilt. I feel like a child who has just broken her moms favorite vase... I want to hide the vase and pretend it didn't happen. It feels as if the dreams are signifying that I am incredibly irresponsible or overwhelmed.

Last nights dream had a strange twist to it.

I dreamnt of several children in my house and I realized one was missing, only to find it lying there dead. My significant other picked the child up and replaced its batteries and the child came back to life and was fine... seemingly a doll. And he said "Honey you just have to change the batteries." As if it was no big deal. The dream still bothered me though. Everytime I have these dreams I am disturbed and left wondering ...They make me feel like a bad person.

As a little background info I've gone through a lot in 2 years and have been under more stress than I thought a person could go through with my health, relationships, finances...ect. Is it basically just me being overwhelmed?

A baby or a small child can represent a new undertaking in your life so the dreams about not being able to care for children can mean that you are afraid of failing at something.

The dream where the child has its batteries replaced could be a message that sometimes when you think something is hopeless, you just have to look at it another way and find another solution.

It sounds like a positive dream. I wonder if you were bothered by it because you like doing things a certain way and find it hard to change.

I agree that the dreams could have to do with you being overwhelmed. Going through a lot of bad things in your life can make you feel like you don't have control over things.
