Personal symbolism
A son in a dream can bring together affection, responsibility, and hopes for someone you care about. Notice whether he seems capable and well, or vulnerable and in need of help: the dream gives those conditions very different meanings. The well scene adds a feeling of being unable to reach someone in distress, while hearing cries makes the fear immediate. If you rescue him, the change in the scene matters: danger recedes unexpectedly. Consider what pride, worry, or protective care your relationship with a son brings up for you.
