Clark's nightmares

[jpfort1957]

Did Clark say he had nightmares as a child of his ship landing in the cornfield and noone come to find him? He must have been 15 or 16 when he found out he came from another planet.

i know, i thought of that!

he didn't even know about it until he was 14! maybe he meant when he was a teenager

All retconning aside, he could have had the dream without realizing it was part of a real memory.

Hey..15-16 is still not much of an age to have nightmares like that...I think once he found out the Kents found him it mustve scared him to think what if they hadnt?

I completley agree with you, IHeartClois. Clark's world is turned completley upside down when Jonathen shows him the spaceship in the Pilot episode. Then in the episode " Lineage", I think, Clark finds out that Lionel was in Smallville the day of the meteor shower and was closely connected to when the Kent's found him. I belive Clark's quote in "Eternal" specified that his nightmares were of Lionel, not the Kents, finding him. A life of cold exploitation and experiments vs. the tender care of two good hearted people could diffenately cause night terrors at any age.

Did Clark mention the age he was when he had the nightmares?

You are right. He said he was a kid what could mean he was about 15 (the age he learned he was from another Planet). And given his story, I wouldn't be surprised if he had nightmares of being forgotten by his parents in a field when he was a child. It wouldn't be surprising if he had dreams about spaceships and meteor showers in his infancy, although he didn't make the connection until his parents told him about his origins.

I do recall when Clark had a nightmare when the meteors came the second time, and Martha or Jonathan said he had nightmares when he was younger. That was when Lois said she had a nightmare about a guy in a red cape...LOL...How could you not have nightmares with the way Clark came to earth.

Yeah, Clark could have nightmares that he no one found him. Even though they didn't offically tell him until he was 15. That wouldn't stop him from having nightmares that he wouldn't be adapted by his parents.

Clark should've said : "I was exactly 15 years old when I saw a nightmare and I could totally see it because dad told me I came from a spaceship that landed on a field just a day before I saw it."

:lol: you know, we are so addict to this serie =)

I also wondered about the nightmares as a child since 15 yrs. old is not a child but a teenager.
Also did anyone wonder about the comment to Chloe about this being the field where the ship come down. And Chloe saying about how Clark must have many memories about this field. Since in Pilot Clark had no memories about either the ship or the field and was totally surpised when Dad Kent showed him the ship.
