Here's my dream
- My husband and I have been trying to
get pregnant for over two years now without success. My doctor
has put me on Clomid to help me ovulate (both my husband and
I are 41 years old). Trying to get pregnant has been very emotionally
trying, since we both want a baby very badly and have not gotten
pregnant yet. It is hard to see other women pregnant or to see
mothers with babies or going to baby showers when I want a baby
so bad and cannot seem to get pregnant; it usually brings me
to tears. It is especially trying when other people keep asking,
"When are we going to have a baby." Last night, I had a dream
that my husband and I attended a funeral of a family who we
did not know; all of my relatives and other acquaintances were
there too. At the very end of the service, one of the family
members who died was a baby. I could not take it and asked my
husband if we could leave because seeing the passed away baby
was pushing me over the edge emotionally. We left the funeral
but went to a gathering after the funeral; people were eating
and socializing. I felt very sad in this dream, and the people
in my dream seemed to not even accept my sadness over this family
who died. In real life, no one seems to understand my overwhelming
emotions about trying to conceive. My husband tries to help,
but he is more accepting that we may not have a baby. We cannot
afford IVF. Is my dream telling me to give up hope of having
a child? –
Dear
Dreamer,
According to Edgar Cayce, most often dreams simply contrast
and correlate the events of the day - providing emotional images
and pictures that correspond with what the dreamer is experiencing
in waking life. In other words, the emotion you felt at the
funeral is similar to the emotion you have been feeling over
not being able to conceive. The "dead" baby you didn't want
to have to deal with is the same "death" (e.g. giving up the
possibility of having a baby) that you don't want to have to
deal with in waking life. I don't think the dream is necessarily
precognitive, it is simply reflecting back what you have been
experiencing. With this in mind, let me give you several suggestions.
First of all, you and your husband need to read, Born
to Live, by Dr. Gladys T. McGarey - it is a book that
explores conceiving and birthing a child from a very enlightened
perspective. Secondly, you and your husband should consider
dreaming on specific questions to get "next step" answers. For
example, consider writing out the question, "What should we
do to be able to conceive a child." Both you and your husband
should read the question before going to bed and upon waking,
write down whatever dreams you remember. Also, just for the
experience, write out the question. "Should we adopt a baby?"
dream on it and see what happens. As you begin to watch your
dreams, you will gain - in all likelihood - guidance and direction
over this question. Good luck to you both.––
Here's
my dream - I am 30 years old I have a 13-year-old
and an 8-year-old. I have recurring dreams about my 8-year-old
dying and it scares me. I don't understand why I am having
the dreams and he normally dies in a horrible way. Please I
know you're busy, I am hoping that you can make light of it
and relieve some stress on me.
Dear
Dreamer, First
of all, let me reassure you that dreams of someone dying rarely
mean literal death. Although it is possible to dream about
a tragedy before it happens, it is more likely that the dream
is trying to bring to your awareness something going on in
your eight-year-old's life. Perhaps the dream is simply suggesting
that your child is no longer a baby - having become a young
person who no longer may need you in the same way. From this
perspective, your baby has "died." Another possibility
is that there is something problematic going on in this child's
life or his/her relationship with others (e.g. someone may
be "choking the life" /will out of this child. In
any event, I think the dreams suggest you need to make time
to sit down and talk with one another about what is going on
in life and each of your hopes/dreams/concerns. I hope that
helps.–
Here's
my dream - I am 22 years old, single, and a teacher.
I come from a family where it is unacceptable to have sex before
marriage. I am not seeing anyone seriously, though I am dating
a few guys. In the first dream, I was freaking out that I was
pregnant and could not find a way to tell my parents. In the
second dream, I had a son. I was very happy with my son and
he lived with me in my apartment. I am not sure why I keep
having these dreams of being pregnant or being a mother?
Dear
Dreamer, If
the dream is metaphorical, it suggests that you are involved
in some kind of a "new beginning." That new beginning
might be associated with work, a relationship, a project, a
plan that you have been contemplating, etc. If the dream is
literal, it could suggest that you will shortly meet (or have
already met) the individual you will marry and start a family
with. I hope that helps.–
Here's
my dream - My daughter is pregnant and due for
her baby in December. Her boyfriend (father of the baby) is
a twin; she doesn't get along too well with the twin due to
his mooching off the family. Anyway, she had an awful dream
last night that she had a baby girl and it turned out that
this twin brother was the father and he came to the nursery
of the hospital and kidnapped the child. She frantically, searched
for the child leading her down a long hallway to a stair case
and as she went down each level of stairs to the next floor
there was a pentagon star with mean notes laid on it reading
things such as, curse words, "you'll never catch us," "go
to hell" and so on. At the last set of stairs she went
down, at the very end of the landing she was faced with an
oven and there was a burnt doll with a letter hooked to it
reading, "YOUR NEXT." Please help as this is very
disturbing to her. Thank you so much for your time..
Dear
Dreamer, One
possibility suggested by the dream is that the "evil twin" is
symbolic of her boyfriend when he is angry, verbally abusive,
or mean. From this perspective, it suggests that she and her
boyfriend had an argument about something and he essentially
overpowered her will with his own. Running after the child
could be associated with trying to recapture their relationship
or the hopes/dreams she had about being a family. Another interpretation
could also suggests that the deeper she gets involved with
this relationship, the more worrisome she becomes about the
long-range nature of it. Overall, the dream suggests that in
general (or at least at the time of the dream) your daughter
was troubled by something connected to her relationship with
her boyfriend. –
Here's
my dream - I have had several
dream about my 6 year old son being killed in some form or
another ever since I was pregnant, but the most recent one
was last night and was very disturbing. My son was snatched
by a man and I caught him by his collar. The man was standing
down inside what looked like a storm drain and I was on the
street. The man was pulling him by his entire body and all
I had was his collar and it was choking him very badly so I
let him go. I jumped down into where they both were and ran
after him trying to save my son but no matter what I did, I
couldn't move fast enough. The man ended up killing my son
right in front of my face and there was nothing I could do,
he disappeared and I was left all alone with my dead son. Then
my dream switched to life without my son and there was nothing.
I didn't even talk anymore. Somewhere around that point I woke
up.
Dear
Dreamer, Your
dream represents a number of possibilities. Although it is
possible to dream about a tragedy before it happens, it is
just as likely that you "lost" your son in the long
ago past (e.g. a past life) and have that issue to contend
with. With this in mind, let me recommend two books for you
to read: BORN TO LIVE, by Dr. Gladys
McGarey, and CHILDREN'S PAST LIVES,
by Carol Bowman. Alternatively your son could represent
something else (e.g. your relationship with his father) and
the collar could be associated with a test of wills. To put
your mind at ease, pray for your son and read the two books
mentioned above. May God bless you both. –
Here's
my dream - Hardly ever do I
remember my dreams, but the one I had last night is impossible
to forget. In my dream it was winter. My husband and I were
playing with our 2-year-old son in the backyard at my grandparents'
house. Our son was tobogganing down the hill when he went too
far and ended up on the other side of the fence...where there
was a murky pond. He stood up and walked into the pond (which
was not frozen). I ran over to the pond and jumped in after
him. The water was so murky that I couldn't see anything. I
could only feel my way around the bottom, searching for my son.
I found him, and brought him to shore. I climbed out and checked
to see if he was breathing. He was. I held him to my chest and
rocked and rocked and rocked him. Then I woke up.
Dear
Dreamer, Essentially,
the dream could suggest that there is some kind of emotional
challenge going on in your son's environment that is affecting
him. That challenge might be associated with watching his parents'
fight, having to deal with suppressed emotions, or "picking
up" on anxiety or worry that is clouding normal relationships
in the household. The dream also suggests that at least up to
this point, you have not seen how this situation has been affecting
your son.–

Here's
my dream - This was any mother's worse nightmare.
I had a nightmare that my 6-year-old daughter was raped. She
was in a home for mentally ill children. I have no idea why
she was there. She was wearing a purple t-shirt and blue jeans.
I came there after the fact and was told by staff what had happened.
The look on her face was sheer horror and shock. I kept thinking
throughout the whole dream that I had to get her to the ER.
I went in search of this person, whom was a 15-year-old girl
by the way. I asked her what she did and every time she was
going to answer me she flew into a rage. I never got the answer.
Also I was in a heap crying on the floor a few times. There
was also $100.00 stolen from my purse while at this home. All
the kids there were violent and rude - very scary. I am still
quite shaken up over this nightmare. Towards the end of the
dream I was holding my daughter and she told me that she hurt
really bad. I remember feeling very alone in this dream. My
daughter in real life keeps calling me a silly goose (her words)
because I kept hugging her this morning. Thank you in advance.
This one has be a bit shaken up.
Dear
Dreamer, If the dream is
about your daughter, it might suggest that someone is taking
advantage of her or harming her emotionally. The fact that she
is in a home for the mentally ill could suggest some kind of
an emotional problem or situation that she doesn't know how
to deal with. If the dream is literal, the fact that a 15-year-old
girl is abusing her might indicate something like the fact that
she is being emotionally abused by an older caregiver/babysitter
or an older child at school. If the dream is about you, it could
suggest that you are being taken advantage of by someone (perhaps
even yourself), perhaps because of the demands being placed
on you, and that experience is causing a great deal of emotional
turmoil. In other words, your inner child is being abused. –
Here's
my dream - I am pregnant, whether
or not that matters. In my dream, I was trying to find a little
girl who wondered away. It was a beautiful bright sunny day.
The air was fresh and the grass so green. I stumbled across
the little girl I was searching for and she was gorgeous. She
was playing by herself with butterflies and giggling. She had
blonde curly hair with tight ringlets and fair skin. When I
approached her she was happy to see me although she did not
know who I was. I looked at her feet, such small little feet
and she had a tattoo of an angel on one foot that was so pretty.
It looked like a delicate fairy. I asked her what it symbolized
and she told me her mommy did it and receited a poem that her
mother told her from when she was born. When I was told this
poem my jaw dropped. It was the sweetest thing I ever heard
but sounded like something from me to her. It was strange but
I was in awe and then woke up.
Dear
Dreamer, Edgar
Cayce suggested that dreams contrast and correlate the events
of the day, oftentimes providing a symbolic representation of
the things occurring in waking life. If we imagine that your
wife can represent your marriage, the dream could be indicating,
for example, that whatever is occurring in life right now is
placing a tremendous strain on your marriage and perhaps even
"choking the life" out of it. If buying a new house is something
that is truly occurring in your waking life, you can see how
the strain of this event may be interfering with and perhaps
even "choking" your normal marriage relationship. Overall, the
dream probably has something to do with stressors that are interfering
with your normal life as a couple.–
Here's
my dream - I had a terrible nightmare. My wife and
I bought a new house. We had moved into it that day. My wife
was on a ladder in the garage, putting something up in the rafters.
I came into the garage, called her name and as she turned to
look at me she fell off the ladder. She was wearing a summer
dress and when she fell, her dress caught on something in the
rafters. At first she just hung by her dress, as I struggled
to reach her through all the junk in the garage, the more I
struggled, the harder it was to reach her. Then her dress tore
and tangled around her arms and neck. She started choking and
gasping for air. I struggled harder and harder as she started
kicking and thrashing in the air. When I reached her, I grabbed
her legs but it was no help, so I found something to stand on
and jumped up on it to grab her by the waist. As I lifted her
up, her arms became free and she started to claw at my back
and face as she frantically tried to remove what was choking
her. Slowly her body went limp, I was screaming for help. That
is how I woke up.

Here's
my dream - I had a horrible dream last night that
my 6-year-old son died. I was with my boyfriend and my mother,
who passed away 2 years ago. We dropped my boyfriend off at
work then I looked at the time and I saw that it was 4:30 pm
and that I forgot to pick up my son from school. I rushed to
get him, so I called the school and they said this girl who
worked there took him home. Somehow I was at her house and I
was asking her were my son was and she kept saying she didn't
know what I was talking about. Finally, she said that she dumped
him at the beach because he wasn't breathing. I told her that
he is just a deep sleeper, so my and my mom went there. I looked
down and saw a green sweater (his favorite) and then a white
plastic bag all wet. I looked in it and my son was in it dead.
I touched him he was so cold. It was so real. I have never had
a dream that real before. I woke up screaming and crying and
I couldn't stop crying. Why would I dream that? Please, please
help me. I am very scared about that dream. I am very overprotective
of him since my mom passed. Please help me.
Dear
Dreamer, Although it is
possible to have a precognitive dream, it is more likely that
the dream is more symbolic in meaning. For example, one possibility
may be a personal fear that your own busy schedule and hectic
life is somehow taking your son away from you. Another is that
your overprotective nature may be "killing" him emotionally.
The dream could also be a warning dream about needing to be
on guard regarding influences or activities with which he is
involved at school. In fact, it could be any number of things.
Let me recommend several things for you to do: 1) Pray for your
son; pray that he is surrounded and protected from all physical/mental
negative influences; 2) Try to talk to your son about what may
be bothering him at school, or about what is going on in his
life; 3) Try to set aside quality/regular time with your son,
in which you can focus on his needs and your relationship together;
and, 4) Write out the question, "What can I do to best help
my son and our relationship?" read it before going to bed and
attempt to have a dream on it for several nights in a row. This
may help you, as well. Good luck to you. –
Here's
my dream - I am 15 years old. A couple of days ago
I had a talk with my mom about perhaps needing to talk to a
counselor, as I am nervous that there is something that may
effect my sex life. Although I have not had sex, I am afraid
I won't exactly enjoy it mentally, as when I dream about having
sex my dad's face sometimes appears. When I wake up it disgusts
me. I am afraid that it may happen if I really do have sex.
I am confused and don't know what to do. Please help me.
Dear
Dreamer, Your
father's face may be connected to one of two issues - either
an issue related to abuse, or some kind of parental criticism
or authority that you remain conscious of. If there is abuse
in your background, you probably need to see a counselor regardless
of the dream imagery. On the other hand, if your father instilled
a sense of fear, criticism or warning related to sex that may
be something that you may need to deal with, as well. You could
also simply feel like you don't want to disappoint your father
in terms of your own relationships. All that said, the issue
of sex is extremely anxiety provoking to many teens, so for
many young people some level of fear and anxiety is quite normal.
The bottom line is that if you feel like it would help you to
talk to someone, then it is probably a good idea. I hope that
helps. –
Here's
my dream - I dreamt that I
was having intercourse with my father and it is still foggy
but I think I enjoyed it. I happened to see my mother afterwards
and she asked if I knew where my father was as she couldn't
get in contact with him? I said No and felt as guilty as hell.
My parents have been separated for a year and I don't have a
relationship with my father at the moment.
Dear
Dreamer, In
all likelihood, the dream is presenting your desire to have
a relationship with your father and at the same time being torn
about doing so because of your love for your mother. In other
words, you may feel as though you will betray your mother if
you attempted to connect with your father. The dream is also
suggesting that you would enjoy having a relationship with you
father. If there is a challenging family dynamic involved in
this, let me suggest that you consider reading FAMILY
KARMA, by Kevin Todeschi, which
you can find at:www.arebookstore.com.

Here's
my dream - Hi, I am 35, married and have 3 lovely
daughters; I also had a son with a girl I loved very much about
13 years ago but it was not working out for the both of us so
we both went our separate ways. A few days ago, I dreamt that
I was walking down the streets of Tijuana. There was a crowd
out on a church where my aunt was on my right hand side, waving
hello and to my left hand side I saw my ex-girlfriend with our
son. They were both dressed nicely and were very, very tall,
almost giant. They were standing next to who she described as
her bosses, then I asked her if I could spend time with my son.
He got very happy then they both became regular size so then
me an my son walked around stores and then we wound up in girls
apparel. He started looking at the blouses then I noticed he
started to look like a little feminine. I then woke up. That's
about all I remember. My aunt has been dead for several years
now. Thank you for your attention.
Dear
Dreamer, Since your aunt
can be associated with something that is "dead," I am going
to assume that your relationship with your ex-girlfriend and
your son has - up to this point -also been "dead." If this is
the case, the dream is suggesting that your son is dealing with
questions related to adolescence (and perhaps even sexuality)
and could use a male influence in his life. If you haven't maintained
a real relationship with your son, I think it's time to tell
your daughters they have a half-brother and to invite your son
to be a larger portion of your family. I hope that helps.–
Here's
my dream - For the past several
years, I've kept a dream journal and have been interpreting
my dreams quite successfully. However, about six months ago
after I babysat for my two grandchildren while their parents
were on vacation, I had two very strange dreams. In the first
dream I'm in a bright white kitchen with my daughter and my
grandson. We were looking in the cabinets talking and laughing
when we noticed my grandson wasn't there. I look out into the
hallway and he is looking at the door I grab him and look towards
the door. I see two men with their backs towards me burglarizing
my son and his wife. I walk back into the kitchen and tell my
daughter call the police and she says I'm scared I firmly tell
her call. I then became very frightened and woke up. In the
second dream, I am not fully asleep. Three magicians or the
three wise men are walking toward me one of them comes very
close to my face and blows what appears to be smoke or some
kind of incence in my face. I immediately sat up in the bed.
I like to see the best in everyone but I don't think this was
good. I have not remembered any more dreams since or maybe I
just have not had any. But I am Puzzled over this dream since
I have noticed my son's behavior has drastically changed towards
me, his sister and my husband. I have also been seeing a grayish
sort of mask over my daughter in laws face the past 4 times
I've seen her (no one else sees it but me). Do you know what
this is? Please help.
Dear
Dreamer, The
dream may suggest that all is not well at your son's home. The
fact that they are being burglarized suggests that they may
be having financial problems and that these problems are causing
a strain on their relationship. The mask over your daughter-in-law's
face suggests that she has some level of depression/worry/unhappiness/fear
that is on her mind. You may want to take you son to lunch some
day and ask him how he is doing and state that you had a dream
that had you concerned about him, suggesting that he may be
worried about something and that you'd like to help if you could.
I hope that helps. –
Here's
my dream - Here is my dream: while I was at my mother's funeral (my
mother passed away 12 years ago). I looked down to see
her face; when all of a sudden she began to speak to me.
As she was speaking to me, I could see that her "tongue
was stapled to her mouth." The staples were loose enough
for her to still be able to speak. I didn't want to hear
what she was saying, because I was afraid of what she
would say. I could feel myself "sick" in the dream. She
said, "It isn't you that got to suffocate in the casket
before you die" (I do not have personal issues about death;
like being buried alive). Two out of three sisters were
in the dream; they stayed quiet. During the entire dream,
I kept walking out of the funeral home...then I would
return to ask someone: "If it was over, was she dead yet?
I continued to leave and return only to ask the same question.
(Note: I loved my mother very, very, much! My sisters
and I were very close to our mother.) Finally, I had this
"overwhelming" feeling of dread; I knew she was going
to have to suffer a bad death...but she was already dead?
Dear
Dreamer, Although there are a number of possibilities,
the most likely interpretation suggests some kind of communication
difficulty on your part probably with family members in
relationship to an issue that you thought was long dead.
In other words, you or someone around you is having difficulty
resolving an issue that the other party may think has
already been solved. I hope that helps. –
Here's
my dream - This is actually the dream of my 6-year-old
daughter and I am just wondering if I should be concerned. Her
daddy is very concerned considering he is in it and what he
is doing in the dream (nightmare). In the dream, it is daytime;
she was playing in her room. Her brother who is 3 was in the
basement with their Daddy. Suddenly she hears her brother screaming
so she runs down to the basement and says, "Stop", but it was
too late. Daddy had cut her brother's head in half (vertically)
with a great big knife. Then it ends, or she doesn't remember
anymore. Why would she dream this, we have a loving family with
no violence. I just want to understand.
Dear
Dreamer, Although a literal
interpretation could suggest some kind of violence, it is much
more likely that the dream is metaphorical in nature. The fact
that her father is cutting her brother's head in half suggests,
to me, a conflict of wills. In other words, at the time of the
dream one part of your daughter felt like her father's will
was overpowering/killing the will of either herself or her brother.
It is simply a dream about being somewhat frustrated that her
will or her brother's was overruled/overpowered by an authority
figure.–
Here's
my dream - I searched through the archives and couldn't
find anything similar to my dream. I recently had a puzzling
dream and I was wondering if you could possibly interpret it
for me? It started out as me in a room with this girl who I
have a huge crush on, but she doesn't know. She moved closer
to me and kissed me. We kissed for a little while, and then
the dream sort of fast-forwarded to the next day. We were at
what seemed like prom night, I'm not sure. The room was dark,
with dim lights. I was sitting at a table with a friend Tyler
and I told him what happened with this girl. Just then, she
came out of nowhere and sat across from me. She was wearing
a really beautiful green dress with her hair all done up. My
friend started to joke about what had happened between me and
this girl, and I tried to stop him but it was too late. The
girl just giggled. Then the dream was over.
Dear
Dreamer, If the dream is
literal, it could indicate that the two of you are going to
the prom together. If it is metaphorical, it could suggest that
you are going to go with someone like her. I neither event,
it suggests that your feelings about this girl are not as secret
as you may think. She probably knows something. Why not tell
her, "I had this really great dream last night. I dreamt that
you and I went to the prom." You'll know what to do from there
based on her reaction. Good luck to you.––
Here's
my dream - Both my wife and I have had dreams of
our daughter drowning. We have two children 4, and 6 years old,
she is the youngest. My wife had a dream that our daughter was
found nude, face down in a stream; she was dead! When my wife
picked her up and held her, she came back to life. About 3 weeks
later, I had a dream also like this. In my dream, my father-in-law
and I were working on docks by the water. My daughter walked
up to us, and I told her not to get to close to the edge. She
looked at me and walked right of the edge and into the water.
I dove in but could not reach her. I woke up before I got to
her. Then about 2 weeks later I had another dream. I was taking
both my kids for a ride on a dirt road. A car was backing out
of a drive, so I told the kids to move of the road. I yelled
to my daughter to move off the road more. She was riding a tricycle,
but she is too old for one. When she moved of the road, she
flipped over the handlebars. She went into a pond. I dove in,
but it was mucky and I couldn't reach her. I watch her come
up and told her to swim. Then I watched her go back under! I
woke up after that. What does this mean? Please help, my in-laws
moved to a house last year with a stream and a in-ground pool.
We are afraid to let them go there this summer with out us!
Also we are thinking about having another baby. Thank You..
Dear
Dreamer, Although
it is possible to dream about a potential disaster before it
happens - suggesting you need to be very careful with your daughter
around water, a metaphorical interpretation might be much more
likely. What this would suggest is that your daughter is "drowning"
emotionally - perhaps not feeling like she is getting the emotion
and connection that she needs. If you and your wife think she
is more "needy" than your other child, then this would especially
be relevant. This would suggest that you may need to really
work with her before having another baby, as her feelings of
rejection and/or abandonment may only get worse. Keep in mind
that the dream is not suggesting you and your wife are abandoning
her, only that is how your daughter may feel - perhaps because
your time is taken up by other obligations in life. Good luck
to you all.––
Here's
my dream - My son, our first child is 10 months old.
I have started having recurring dreams about him recently. I
dream he is sleeping with us and I wake and can't find him,
I starting patting the bed searching for him. Now that he is
a little older, I am dreaming that he is crawling around our
room in the dark. I can't find him or see him and I am very
worried, as I don't know if he is getting into danger; I can't
protect him. One dream was that he was crawling around in our
room and he put something in his mouth and was choking on it
turning blue. When I have these dreams I usually wake up confused
and very anxious looking for my son.
Dear
Dreamer, In
all likelihood, the theme of each of these dreams relates to
the fear of neglect. In other words, some part of your mind
is afraid that you are neglecting your son - perhaps because
of other commitments, your schedule, etc. - and that fear of
neglect is manifesting in the dreams. As long as you are able
to give your son "quality" time and make certain he knows he
is an important priority, AND you have sufficient and responsible
day care when you or your spouse is not able to care for him,
the dreams should eventually stop. Part of this may simply be
about the need to shift priorities in your life.––
Here's
my dream - Here is what is going on in my life. I
have seven children, ages 3-16. My 7-year-old has Autism and
Downs Syndrome. My 16-year-old is in a long-term relationship
with a boy that I am not crazy about, and I am not all thrilled
with the seriousness of their relationship at their age. I am
also researching colleges and going on a college visit with
my two oldest girls. Here is my dream: I am sleeping in bed
with my husband in a large room. I am awakened by my cat who
is playing with kittens that have somehow come in from the outside.
I look over at the kittens and cat and realize that there are
also birds there in the corner of the room. I wake my husband
and realize that there is a large owl above our bed. I realize
that my autistic son and my youngest child are in the room sleeping.
My husband is afraid that the owl will hurt the boys so we take
them out of the room and shut the door. I also realize that
I am not afraid of the owl and would just rather go back to
sleep until my husband shares his fears and then I become afraid
too.
Dear
Dreamer,God
bless you! You certainly have a lot going on in your life! My
sense is that the dream is really straightforward and suggests
that in spite of everything you have going on, you have things
pretty well organized (at least in your own mind). However,
your own sense of things being settled or okay are "rattled,"
probably by your husband or another family member who may be
saying things like, "Well, how can you not be worried about
that_____?" or "How are you ever going to pull that off? It
won't work!" In other words, rather than helping in the situation,
a family member who may think they are trying to give you wisdom
(symbolized by the owl) is actually making things worse, when
they are fine. I hope that helps.––
Here's
my dream - Please Help! I am a 21-year-old female.
I had a dream that I was pregnant but didn't know I was pregnant
until I started going into labor. Throughout the pregnancy (that
I didn't know about) I was smoking, drinking, dieting (losing
weight), taking birth control (which is bad for babies), but
still getting my period really lightly. In my dream I was really
scared that the baby wasn't going to make it or that it would
be deformed or something. It was a really scary and sad dream.
Please help me to understand what it might mean.
Dear Dreamer,If the dream is literal, it is suggesting
that you need to "clean up your act" and start taking
care of yourself because you are about to get pregnant. If the
dream is metaphorical, it may be suggesting that some new beginning
you have (e.g. a new relationship, a new job, a new focus, etc.)
might be negatively impacted if you don't take care of it and
yourself and give it the appropriate attention it deserves. In
case the dream is literal, let me also suggest that you read the
book, BORN TO LIVE, by Dr. Gladys McGarey.

Here's
my dream - My brother has recently broken up with
his fiancé and lost everything including his car. He is a very
unstable person whom I feel could be a danger to himself. Last
night I dreamt that he actually committed suicide by stabbing
himself in the stomach. I was most upset in my dream and thought
it was my fault because I had seen him a couple of days before
and hadn't noticed anything different about him. Please explain
what this could mean as i am very worried about him and his
well being.
Dear Dreamer,Assuming that the dream is about your brother and is literal, you need to do whatever you can to get your brother to speak with a therapist or someone who can help him with his state of mind. Otherwise, the dream is suggesting that the worst might happen. If the dream is more metaphorical and about your brother, it suggests that he has the tendency to "do himself in" (e.g. ruin his own life) and it is not because of other individuals but himself that there continues to be a problem. Finally, there is also the possibility that the dream is about you, and suggests that - much like your brother - you have inadvertently done something to undermine yourself. I hope that helps.

Here's
my dream - I dreamed that a
guy I grew up with raped my daughter in an old apartment I used
to live in but my daughter was not crying or anything, she was
actually talking and laughing. Whenever, I dream of things they
happen at that old address. What does that dream mean I am afraid
for my daughter?
Dear Dreamer,Try to think about
what was most memorable about the old address, e.g. it's where
I grew up, it's where I spent the best years of my life, it
was a lot of challenges, etc. Whatever you most associate with
the old address is a symbol for that experience in your life
right now. The dream seems to be indicating that you are concerned
that something or someone from your past/your daughter's past
is taking advantage of her; however, your daughter does not
seem to be having the same perception of the experience. For
example, if you and your daughter's father have separated you
might think he is not a good influence for her and yet the dream
could be indicating that she does not feel the same way about
him as you do. That's one way to look at the dream.
––
Here's my dream
- My wife had a disturbing dream about my
7-year-old daughter being kidnapped and raped. She dreamt that
we were at a hair salon (side note: the salon we go to is owned
and operated by a very loud and proud gay man - Juan). In the
dream my wife is asking Juan where my daughter is and he laughs
her off and does not answer, all the while she hears our daughter
screaming in the background. Then while she is standing in the
street looking for my daughter she sees a van of "ugly/gross"
looking day laborers drive by with wicked smiles on their faces.
Then she jumps to a scene and I am at a hospital telling her
the unfortunate news that our daughter was raped and beat up
by that same group of men. My wife was very shaken up after
this dream. Does it mean anything?
Dear Dreamer,Although
it is possible to have a literal dream about the future, it
is more likely that the dream is symbolic of something else.
Hair is generally associated with thoughts and ideas. With this
in mind, the dream might be indicating that something you and
your wife have been contemplating for your daughter (e.g. a
new school, a new day care situation, etc.) will end up being
emotionally harmful and/or even abusive to her. Following those
same lines, the fact that the hairdresser is "gay" and happy,
could indicate that the something you have been pondering was
actually fun-related but the imagery is still suggesting that
whatever it is may not be suitable to your daughter's temperament.
I hope that helps. ––
Here's my dream
- I keep dreaming that my brother rapes
me. I've dreamt this about 4 times in my whole life. In the
dream he is always extremely nice and his voice is soothing.
I feel as if he is lulling me to sleep and then I realize that
I can't move. He keeps telling me everything's okay and he'll
take care of me while raping me, and all I can do is cry as
I'm trapped underneath him. I love my brother so much and we
are very close. Why would I have such a negative dream about
him?
Dear Dreamer,If the dream
is literal, it may be suggesting some type of power struggle
between yourself and a child - either this grandchild or
perhaps even one of your own children. If the dream is metaphorical,
it could be associated with a power struggle between yourself
and your own "inner child." This could occur if you are
having an internal struggle or are torn about doing something
in your life - for example, part of you may want to do something
with your life that is creative, fun, extravagant, or perhaps
even "childish" and another part of you is arguing against
the idea because of money, time, your reputation, or other
personal constraints you may have put on yourself. ––
Here's my dream
- I am writing you from Turkey. When I was
pregnant, I had an interesting dream about my baby. I was like
out of my body and was trying to see if it was a boy or a girl.
Then a beautiful woman in a white dress came and said to me
that, "We gave her you a brilliant brain; she is coming to this
world for a special duty. Her duty is to rescue the people from
epidemic illness. And we will keep an eye on you." (So far,
I have never mentioned my dream to anybody. My baby was born
in 2002.) Do you think is this only a dream or could it be true?
Dear Dreamer,If I were you, I
would consider the dream as true, and perhaps even a means of
providing guidance and direction for your daughter as she matures.
For example, perhaps you could begin investigating the medical
profession for yourself. Perhaps you could begin to discover
what pathway a young girl would need to pursue in Turkey if
she wanted medical training, and so forth. I would suggest that
the figure in white was an angel, and you were being given angelic
guidance. –
Here's my dream
- I have a cousin who used to be my
best friend. About 3 years ago she married this guy that
gave off very uncomfortable, fake vibes. I always dream
that she tells me that he beats her, or sometimes I even
dream that he kills her. She had 2 children and I dreamt
she told me that this guy helped her "see" that she was
Bi-polar and needed to give her kids up to CPS. I have no
way to contact her and no idea where she is. When I have
these dreams they seem to last all night, and I find myself
crying. What do these dreams mean?
Dear Dreamer,You should consider
doing whatever you can to try and contact your cousin, as she
could be "psychically" looking to you for help. Whether or not
the information is literally valid, the dreams could be occurring
because your cousin could use your help, counsel or support.
Try looking up her and her husband's last known address or phone
number on Google, or contact other family members who may know
of her presence. If the dream is symbolic instead and has nothing
to do with your cousin, it suggests that you are involved in
a situation or a relationship in which you are torn between
doing what is best for you and doing what you want. In other
words, your cousin is simply a symbol for your going through
a similar experience.––
Here's my dream
- This is not my dream; this is my daughter's
dream. She is 3 years old and keeps dreaming about fire and
me - first is was that I dropped my wedding ring in the fire
and then this morning, she told me that I put one of her favorite
cartoon characters (Quincy from Little Einsteins) in a fire.
It frightens me that her dreams are so specific and have me
along with fire in them.
Dear Dreamer,Fire can be associated
with anger or a hot temper. One possibility suggested by the
dream is that you may be more prone to anger and volatile eruptions
than you are aware of. Dropping your ring in a fire could be
connected to yelling at or about your husband; putting the cartoon
character in a fire could be associated with an angry episode
with your daughter. If your daughter often has dream imagery
that contains fire, another option could be that there is some
type of past-life memory related to fire. You could read the
book Children's Past Lives, by
Carol Bowman, for additional information.
I hope that helps. ––
Here's my dream
- I am a mother of 4 beautiful children.
I have had this similar dream about my 4-year-old daughter
twice, but several months apart. I am just terrified and
woke up in tears, just sobbing. I dream my daughter runs
out in front of a vehicle and is hit. The person that is
driving the vehicles tries to miss her but hits her anyway.
In the first dream it is a log truck that hits her. In the
second dream it is a SUV. I always see the accident and
cant stop the vehicles from hitting her. I work fulltime
and when I am at home with my children I don't let her out
of my sight. A few days after the dreams, it takes me a
while to get over them.
Dear Dreamer,Although it is possible
to dream about a potentially dangerous situation before it happens
- suggesting a call for prayer and being on guard against potentially
dangerous situations - the dream also indicates several additional
possibilities. One is that some young or new beginning that
you have (e.g. work? A relationship?) may be in danger of coming
to an abrupt end. In this case, your four-year-old would be
symbolic of something that was your "baby" or a new beginning.
A second possibility is that the dreams suggest your own life's
direction keeps encountering various "endings" or obstacles
- suggesting that you have yet to find the ideal path. I hope
that helps. ––
Here's my dream
- Background: My oldest brother has been
missing since hurricane Katrina. I've prayed for him ever
since. This morning I dreamt I saw him eating cup cakes, then
he began to eat piece of cake. The cake appeared stale. I
asked him where was he; he said he is in Topeka, Kansas at
the Dixie Motel. I asked him what is the phone number there,
he gave me the number but I cannot remember it. (As an aside:
We checked the name of the motel, there is no Dixie Motel
in Topeka.) The dream continued: He telephoned me. I began
to praise God and thank God that we have heard from him. I
said in the dream, I know I'm not dreaming, and asked him
where he was. He said he was in Louisiana, someplace that
starts with a "T" he said the name but I cannot remember.
Again, I asked for the phone number of where he was, he asked
someone else, it seemed to be the lady of the house. She gave
the number to him and he relayed the number to me, but I cannot
remember it. When I arrived there, my youngest brother was
with me. My eldest brother was sitting in I believe a wheelchair
with a blanket over his lap and legs and had a one layer white
icing cake in front of him (today is my birthday). I told
my youngest brother to take the cake away; I put my arm around
my eldest brother who has been missing, and told him that
he would love it where we stay, and that when we get him here,
that we would have a big birthday cake and that it would be
fresh too.
Dear Dreamer, Although logic
says that your brother may not be alive if you haven't yet heard
from him, the dream could actually be interpreted either way:
that he is alive, somewhat unsure of where he is, but doing
okay; or, that he is okay but not alive, and he is trying to
communicate his whereabouts to you in the dream state. Let me
recommend that you and several family members ask for a dream.
Write out the question, "How is my brother and where is he?"
Each of you dream on it for a few nights and see what happens.
Good luck to you and your family. ––
Here's my dream
- My daughter had a preterm birth and subsequent
death of an infant boy on July 5, 05. It was very traumatic
for all of us. Two nights ago she dreamed she was talking to
her deceased son but his image was that of a ghoulish looking
dwarf. During her conversation with him, the dwarf character
attacked her and began biting and clawing at her. She grabbed
him/it and began beating it against a railing. With blood all
over her she looked down and suddenly the being in her hands
was the body of her dead baby. She held it and began to cry
and then it turned into a crow/raven and began plucking at her
eyes. At that point the phone rang and she woke up. She has
been very upset ever since.
Dear Dreamer, The dream contains
numerous elements, all related to your daughter's tragic experience.
On the one hand, the dream may be trying to set her at peace
- showing her how her child could never have survived and been
"normal." The dwarf attacking her may symbolize how this issue
continues to "beat her up." Her turning around and fighting
back may display her own unresolved anger over the experience.
The symbol of a crow/raven is often symbolic of death and the
image suggests that this whole experience has had a major impact
on your daughter's perception. Taken together, I think the dream
may suggest your daughter would benefit from counseling. However,
I also want to recommend that she read the book
BORN TO LIVE, by Dr. Gladys McGarey. I think it would
be very helpful to her (and perhaps other family members) during
this time. May God bless you all. ––
Here's
my dream - I have a 35-year-old
son who has hit bottom a few times and is there now. He has
been like this since he was 16 years old. I constantly worry
about him. When he does good, I feel great; when he loses everything,
I feel his pain. He does not live at home. In this dream he
is visiting us and I see he looks so thin. I mention to him
that he cannot be more than 140lbs and he says probably less.
I then say, stay here with us so I can cook and take care of
you. Then my father-in-law who has been deceased for two years
shows up at our door. I let him in and ask if I can get his
luggage. He hands me the keys and says it is the red car. I
go outside and there are four red cars and I am in a parking
lot. I go back in and tell him I don't know what he is driving
anymore. I then awake. Could my father in law be trying to tell
me something about my adult son? This dream has been on my mind
since I had it the other night. Thank you.
Dear Dreamer,The challenge of
the dream is that it can have many interpretations. Part of
the answer may deal with what kind of a relationship you had
with your father-in-law - for example, did you have to take
care of him at some point? If so, the dream is suggesting that
you may be too much of a caregiver, and that this approach -
allowing people to turn their keys (e.g. life's direction) over
to you is ultimately not very helpful for them because you may
not always know what is best for that person. Regardless of
the dream's interpretation, your son may need direction in life.
Let me suggest that he consider taking A.R.E.'s course, "Discovering
Your Mission in Life," which he can find at this link: www.edgarcayce.org/free_activities.asp.
Another possibility might be for him to consider getting a good
psychic reading from an individual to help him get clarity.
Good luck to you both.––
Here's
my dream - Seventeen years
ago, my daughter died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. She lived
for 18 days. Since her death in 1988, I have had recurring dreams
of her. They are always the same. I am outside and holding her
in my arms. She is maybe six months old. We are laughing and
playing together. Suddenly, she becomes limp and lifeless. Then,
I wake up sad and disappointed. She was my only daughter and
my last child.
Dear Dreamer, Very often experiences
in life can become symbolic of events that have a similar meaning
later on. For example, many adults have dreams about being back
in school and find themselves in a classroom in which the teacher
is passing out a test and the person didn't know there was going
to be a test that day. These dreams do not suggest that the
adult has unresolved issues from High School, instead the dream
is a symbol of not feeling prepared for something. In this instance,
the subconscious mind resurrects a "memory pattern" from the
past in which the individual didn't feel prepared for something.
All that said, the time of daughter's death was probably a time
of great loss for you. With this in mind, the dream could be
a symbol of something else going on in life and occurs whenever
you are sad, disappointed, or experiencing some kind of personal
loss.

Here's my dream
-
I am in my early 60's, never married and no children due to earlier mental health disabilities and problems in my life. I have come full circle. Sometimes I wish I were younger so that I could create solid relationships with men and perhaps find one who could be my partner and father to children. I love children and have taught them for 12 years effectively. Last night I had a dream that a lady in her mid 80's came into our building lobby and announced she had a baby. Others came in and out with the same message. Then I went out and returned with the good news that I also had a baby. The baby looked just like my baby pictures. –
Dear Dreamer, The dream suggests
that there is something creative you really desire to do in
life but part of you may be preventing you from pursuing that
dream, perhaps by thinking "I'm too old," however, the elderly
lady in the dream in indicating that you are never too old.
The fact that she has a baby and then you discover one as well
suggests that you still have a baby to nurture in your own life
(e.g. a new beginning, a new project, a new pursuit, etc.).
Good luck to you.––
Here's
my dream... Please help me; I am so freaked out right
now. I am a mother of a 6-year-old daughter and last night I
dreamt that I was in a house and sitting on a bed and someone
was shooting at me and I shot back then I realized that I had
shot my daughter in the head there were two bullet holes and
I could see the blood and I was holding her and she kept saying
she was so sleepy and just wanted to go to sleep. This has me
really freaked out and I have really tried to find the answers
everywhere but nothing is adding up can you help please? Thank
you.
Dear Dreamer,Shooting bullets
in a dream can often be symbolic of harsh words spoken. Since
the dream entails you shooting at someone else but the bullets
actually ended up hurting your daughter, one possibility is
that harsh words spoken about someone else in front of your
daughter are harming her more than they are harming the person
you are speaking about. For example, if you said cruel things
about your daughter's father in front of her, those words could
not help but have a negative impact upon her. I hope that helps.

Here's my dream
- I am two months pregnant and my partner
is scared how the baby will change his life as he is 53, never
had a child and never thought he would. We are keeping the baby,
although he is scared. I dreamt that blood flowed out of me
and I shouted, "I'm losing my baby." I looked on the ground
and the floor was covered in birdseed. I looked outside and
saw hundreds of boats and people all around having a great time
and happy. I asked my partner to take me to the hospital but
he was in no rush. I asked my sister to take me, again no rush.
Why didn't they understand, I was losing my baby and if I got
to the hospital I might be able to save my baby. I was in great
panic but everyone around me was so calm and in no rush. My
partner ended up driving me though he was acting like we were
going for a pleasant drive and there was no rush to get anywhere.
When I got to the hospital I woke up and don't know if I lost
my precious baby. I woke and told my partner about my dream.
In the morning he told me about his dream. He dreamt that he
had loaned his body to a friend - almost like putting on a suit.
The next scene (his body had been returned to him at this point),
he saw some rubbish on the ground, picked it up and through
it in what he thought was a bin. This bin ended up being an
oven and the rubbish was being cooked. He looked down at his
nails and they were dirty. He and his family were sitting down
at the table ready for dinner including his mother who passed
away about 5 years ago (it was always her dream for him to have
a baby). I was not at the dinner and he was missing me and wondered
where I was. His mother than told him I had died. Please help
me, as I am worried.
Dear Dreamer,
In brief, your dream may simply be presenting some of your fears
that you may have to do this alone and fearing that you could
end up all alone in the process. Your boyfriend's dream could
simply be presenting the fact that he is concerned that he is
having to make the best of a "bad" situation. However, the presence
of his friend might indicate the results of this pregnancy.
In other words, if his friend recently had a child (or had an
unexpected child late in life) and that child is now very important
to his friend, that would be an extremely positive symbol. There
is a chance that this baby could be a wonderful experience for
both of you. Let me recommend reading the book, Born
to Live, by Dr. Gladys McGarey. Good luck. ––
Here's my dream
- I
dreamed that my brother-in-law (whom I don't care too much about) was
just getting home from prison. My sister who was and still is cheating
on him got caught. He beat her to death in front of his six kids. In
the dream I showed up and killed him for what he had done. I don't think
I would do this in real life so if you could please help me out. This
isn't the first time I've had a dream were my sister's husband is hitting
her. He's in prison now and is scheduled to get out in 2008.
Dear Dreamer,
Again, as is often the case, dreams can have a metaphorical
(symbolical) as well as a literal meaning. If the dream is literal,
it may be suggesting that in spite of the fact that your brother-in-law
is in prison, he may still be a threat to your family. If this
is the case, your sister should probably pursue getting help,
both legally as well as from a counselor. However, since we
generally do not dream "for" other people, a metaphorical interpretation
could suggest that your opinion of your brother-in-law and/or
your sister is "killing" the relationship between the two of
you. It might be good for several family members (including
the children) to receive counseling before your brother-in-law's
release. Good luck to all of you. ––
Here's my dream
- Last night I had a dream about
my friend who died about 3 years ago. In the dream it showed my dad who
is still alive being taken away by the police for drugs, which he really
does. After he was taken away, I tried to run away and I ran into my friend
that died and I said you can't be here your dead and she just stood there
and said, "You're pregnant," and I screamed and woke up. Normally that wouldn't
bother me but there's a big possibility that it is true. Was she trying
to tell me something, I mean should I have anything to worry about? Please
help. I'm only 16.
Dear Dreamer,
Your deceased friend may have come to you to offer advice and
counsel about what is going on in your life. As soon as possible,
you need to find out if you are pregnant. Let me recommend contacting
the local chapter of Planned Parenthood - they can give you
free counseling and advice. Another option may be to visit this
link, which is where young unwed mother's offer advice about
what they did to work through a similar situation: http://teenadvice.about.com.
If the dreams are "metaphorical," and not literal, they are
simply suggesting that you need to take precautions because
your choices and decisions will eventually catch up with you.
Please find someone who can help you with the pregnancy possibility
as soon as possible. Good luck .––
Here's my dream
- About 4 years
ago we lost our baby girl due to premature birth. She spent her 4-1/2
short months with us in the NICU. I've had dreams "about" her from time
to time since her passing, but never remember having seen her in the
dreams. Mind you it's been a long while since I've dreamed about her
and I've only done it a few times. This morning however I had a dream
so vivid that I literally woke up sobbing. In the dream, myself, my
mother and my youngest sister were sitting in what I assumed to be the
NICU waiting area, waiting to see Savannah (my daughter). It was very
white and sterile looking...very bare. I remember telling my mother
that I didn't know how much longer I could do this. That I couldn't
see her like this any longer. I remember thinking, but never voicing
to her that I thought maybe it was time to remove her from her ventilator...that
she was just suffering too much. There were mothers everywhere in the
dream...all waiting to see their babies. But I don't remember seeing
any babies. Someone called us in to see Savannah and it seemed to me
that they told me she was doing much better. Which made me feel much
relief. We walked up on a nurse sitting in a rocking chair with her
back to me...I could see she was rocking a child. As I got close I could
see what I felt to be my daughter. She had no tubes, or machines hooked
to her as she had before. She was smiling at me with big shining brown
eyes. It was that "Hi! I know you! You're my mommy!" kind of smile.
It was as if she were never sick, never on any machines. I fell to my
knees sobbing in relief. It was at this point that I woke up crying.
But I don't have the same feeling in my waking that I had in my dream.
In the dream I was crying from joy but the dream has left me very sad,
and almost grieving as much as I did soon after her passing. I feel
like maybe she was trying to tell me she was okay but I'm not sure.
My husband seems to think that it has to do with my hormones, as I'm
due to give birth in just a few weeks. Any insight you could give me
would helpful. Thank you.
Dear Dreamer,
In brief,
the dream is trying to tell you that you need to release Savannah and
prepare for the arrival of your baby. You even recognize this fact in
the dream: "I didn't know how much longer I could do this," and "I couldn't
see her like this any longer." However, the dream is also suggesting
that the soul that had been Savannah may be coming back to you in this
new birth: "As I got close I could see what I felt to be my daughter.
She had no tubes, or machines hooked to her as she had before. She was
smiling at me with big shining brown eyes. It was that 'Hi! I know you!
You're my mommy!' kind of smile. It was as if she were never sick."
I would like to suggest that your deceased child is returning to you.
If you would like to see more stories about how frequently this occurs,
let me recommend the book Born to Live, by Dr.
Gladys McGarey. Good luck to you and your husband - and tell
your husband the dream is about much more than hormones. : ) –
Here's my dream
- I'm a 15-year-old girl. A couple months ago my dog sweetie died when I was at school (she died at my house) and when I came home from track practice she was already gone. I was a little disturbed by this but I went to sleep with her on my mind...that same night I had a dream. I was wearing my holey pants (there's one hole on the left knee) my shirt that has a kitten on it saying 'have a nice day somewhere else', and my good ol' boys car club hat on. I was watching myself enter my living room where I found her on my living room table, she lifted her paw up in a sort of begging matter, (she used to stand on her hind legs as her trademark thing) and immediately ran up to her crying my eyes out saying things like 'I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry...' When I picked her up she felt a little cold but she leaned into me like she was basking into my touch one last time.
Dear Dreamer,
In
the same way that we can have real communication with deceased individuals
(see dream archives), we can have the same experience with our pets who
have passed on. My sense is that your dog came to see you, just to reassure
you that he was fine. –
Here's my dream
- I
dreamed last night that my 2-year-old son was dead. Throughout my dream
it would flash back and forth from the funeral of where he was laying
in a casket next to people having sex. I am not sure of the reason for
his death in my dream. At the very end of my dream I was standing in
my mother's kitchen and completely lost control due to the fact he was
dead. Now, I have lost several family members that are close to me and
this morning when I woke up I was terrified. I need to know what this
dream means!
Dear Dreamer,
Much
of the interpretation may be connected to your personal life and what is
going on at this time that may be taking your time, energy, focus and attention
away from your son. For example, one thing the dream may suggest is that
a personal, sexual relationship you are having could be taking time and
energy away from your son. –
Here's my dream
- I dreamt that my mom had
another baby, a little girl, which isn't possible because she's too
old now. I was extremely jealous of it. My parents gave all their attention
to the baby and none to me. I am currently the youngest child. What
does this mean?
Dear Dreamer,
Oftentimes
in a dream water can be symbolic of spirituality or emotion. Water that
is murky, dirty or muddy generally suggests an emotional experience
that is a challenge to deal with, even a mess. Driving in a car is often
associated with one's personal life journey. With these two things in
mind, the dream is simply showing the status of your friend's life with
her husband - she is "stuck" in her current situation with her husband
and doesn't see a way out. I think that your friend should seriously
consider seeing a counselor, as the dream suggests her current means
of dealing with the situation is not helping her make any progress.

Here's my dream
- Please help me! I am very nervous right now! I had a dream that my three-year-old niece died and then somehow she came to my house and told me "Aunt Sarah. I don't want to die because I can't dance then." The next scene was at her funeral when the walls fell apart and I saw brown and black striped paneling and her face in a glass rose. When I woke up and I was literally crying.
I need advice. What is going on? Is it because she is going to be my flower girl in my wedding in a few months? I love her with all my heart. How can someone dream something so horrible like this especially about a loved one that is innocent? Help
Dear Dreamer,
The
language of the brain is symbols, and those symbols are simply designed
to bring to mind feelings, patterns, advice, etc., in our daily life. Although
a literal interpretation of the dream could suggest death, a much more likely
interpretation is a metaphorical one. Since you associate your niece with
your wedding, one possibility suggested by the dream is that after your
wedding your relationship with your niece will change, and the old relationship
might die. For example, maybe your new life journey will entail a move or
a new schedule that doesn't give you the same opportunity to be around your
niece. However, the love that you've shared will forever be a part of your
lives - note in the dream how her face became a glass rose (a symbol of
ideal love). I think the dream is simply about change coming into your life.

Here's my dream
- I
have had dreams on three different occasions that a baby is falling,
but they really don't hurt themselves. They cry for a little bit, but
not seriously hurt. The last baby does bleed and appeared to be unconscious
when I approached to aid him. At that point he regained consciousness
and seemed to be okay. Can you tell me what that means and why I have
been dreaming this?
Dear Dreamer,
In all likelihood the dreams are about work or some kind of personal projects that you are involved in. Not dropping a baby is a metaphor for not falling down on tasks necessary for completing a project. With this in mind, I think the dream is suggesting that someone around you has been repeatedly letting you or the company down on projects and this last occasion you had to run in and take control of the situation so as to not miss out on an opportunity. I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream
- My two boys, ages 6, have been having nightmares that someone is trying to kill me and they wake up crying. We lost my husband, their father three years ago to homicide. He was killed in one of our cars in the back of our house; the kids and I were in the house asleep, when I heard him yell out for my name. My husband's mother felt the need to explain in detail what happened to their father. Of course this was done behind my back, I didn't think they needed to know the details at such a young age. When I use to go out with girlfriends they would say: "Mommy don't go," and of course I felt bad, so I only go out for birthday parties every now and then. I have them enrolled in activities and we spend a lot of time together. We play games, eat and watch television together. What can I do to stop my boys from thinking and feeling like I will be next, and they will be left with no parents?
Dear Dreamer,
Certainly the trauma of losing a father at the age of three
will have an impact upon your sons for the rest of their lives. Part
of that impact will be a symbolic one, in that whenever they dream about
a death it could suggest that their lives are about to undergo an abrupt
and immediate change - one in which they may not have control. With
this in mind, if you do such things as: have a change in jobs or work
time, move to a new location, change schools for your sons, get engaged
or married, etc., the symbolism they may dream about is your death because
from now on the death of a parent might be a metaphor for personal change.
All that said, I think the Edgar Cayce information would recommend pre-sleep
suggestion. What this means is as they are drifting off to sleep, you
need to softly and quietly reassure them with such phrases as: "You
are safe and your Mommy is going to be safely with you," "Even though
your mother is ____________, everything is okay and you are not losing
her," "Mommy loves you and she is not going anywhere," and so forth.
By working with pre-sleep suggestion over a period of weeks, you should
be able to greatly diminish their fears of abandonment. Good luck to
you. –
Here's my dream
- Please help! I have been through
this dream many times in the last year. I dreamed that I am having sex with
my father but it was similar to rape. I was not shouting but I was fighting
with both hands. My screams were very low and it was dark. He was above
me and all I could remember was standing over him was thought I was watching
the whole thing as well as being involved. I don't hate my father and he
has never hurt me in his life or has any bad intentions. I am sure of that!
What is this dream supposed to mean?
Dear Dreamer,
If
the dream is simply metaphorical, it could suggest that your father
is "controlling" you in terms of your relationship with others.
It might also suggest that he is "abusing" you mentally because
of his control. Although a literal interpretation would suggest some
kind of sexual abuse, it could also be abuse from a previous experience
together that sometimes impacts your feelings with one another in the
present. I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream
- Hello, I am 9 months pregnant and a male friend of mind
had a dream about me concerning my pregnancy. He did not go into detail
but he said that it was a full moon and that I said: "I can't believe
it is happening now." He also said that the father of my child
had mud on his face. I am wondering what the mud on the face means?
I would appreciate anything you could offer.
Dear Dreamer,
Although
it's conceivable that your coworker's dream is a prophetic dream that
you will give birth during the next cycle of the moon, the dream probably
has more to do with your coworker than with you. In other words, we
don't generally dream for other people unless we are somehow emotionally
connected to them. With this in mind, the dream suggests that your coworker
will have some kind of a new birth or a new beginning sometime soon
and that new beginning might be prompted by someone else's behavior
or embarrassment. In other words, someone else messes something up somehow,
so your coworker ends up getting another project. I hope that helps.

Here's my dream
- Every night this week I have had the same dream and
it is scaring me a lot. I have been dreaming that I was abused by my father
and that I am in the hospital dying. I have a lot of broken bones and bruises
and I have at least 6 or 7 broken ribs. I am always dying in the hospital
but I never really see the whole abusive part but I know it was my father.
The first couple of times I had this dream i am always okay at the end.
I go home and eventually recover from it but last night I died before I
could even be considered for home. Every night I dream that my injuries
just get worse and worse, and I am afraid of going to sleep. Please tell
me what this means. Am I in danger?
Dear Dreamer,
Part of the answer is dependent upon your father and your relationship with your father. If your father has been abusive to yourself or another members of the family, then it is a warning dream and you need to do something immediately. However, if your father has not been physically abusive, then it simply might suggest that his "control" over you may be impacting you and "killing" a part of you. For example, this could happen if you have your heart set on doing something in college and your father says no. In other words, the dream may be a metaphor for being "beaten up" in terms of being unable to do what you long to do. –
Here's my dream
- My girlfriend miscarried
a few weeks ago. We were expecting a boy. I keep having dreams that the
baby lived and that he is there with my girlfriend and me. I've seen him
growing up and living his life. I've had dreams about his prom, wedding,
first date, and all sorts of stuff. Please help!
Dear Dreamer,
I think
the dream is suggesting that in spite of whatever grief you and your girlfriend
have been experiencing, this child is trying to comfort you by showing you
that he is indeed coming in to your life at some point and that everything
will be okay. Oftentimes, souls that did not have the opportunity to complete
the birth process return to the very same parents the next time the opportunity
presents itself - oftentimes when the situation is more conducive to raising
a child (e.g. having a good job, completing college, being married, etc.).
If you would like to read more about this phenomenon, let me recommend an
excellent book entitled "Born to Live", by Dr. Gladys McGarey.

Here's my dream
- A friend dreamt that my son, Jared, called her looking
for me because I had not come home and he was calling around to everyone
and no one had seen me and that the police became involved and that
she was the one to find me dead under a house.
Dear Dreamer,
The dream
has a variety of interpretations, all dependent upon what your friend thinks
about in terms of your relationship with Jared. In all likelihood, the dream
has nothing to do with you or Jared but is instead about your friend and
her family. One possibility is that she has been having problems with her
relationship with her own children – Jared symbolizing the relationship
she would like to have with her own children – and that she is at
a loss as to how she might recapture what she once had. If this is the case,
your friend might consider writing out a question such as: “What can
I do about my relationship with so and so,” dream on it for a few
nights, and see if the theme of the dream can give her answers to the question.
The dream probably has nothing to do with you unless you have been talking
to your friend about your own problems and she is worried about you.–
Here's
my dream - I have
had this dream three times now and I am not sure of the meaning.
The dream is that my mother and father-in-law are in court with
me and they are trying to take my kids from me. My brother and
sister-in-law are right behind them. My family is behind me.
Next, they bring in my daughter and put her on the stand. She
tells them that I am a good mother and that they don't go without-that
I have been there for them from the time they have been born.
She also tells them about the times that her grandma has been
mean to her and her mother. When she gets off the stand she
goes over to her grandma and yells at her and tells her that
she hates her and that she will never talk to her again. I stand
up and tell her that she should show her grandmother some respect
and she runs out of the room. I send my sister after her and
after a while she comes back with her. Then the judge starts
to talk and then I wake up. The last time I had this dream my
father in law was not there. Please let me know what this means.
It dose worry me that this might happen. I have lost enough
in my life I lost my kids father about three years ago and I
know that don't want to lose my kids also.
Dear Dreamer,
A
literal interpretation might be that you could be in danger of losing your
kids but a metaphorical interpretation suggests instead that sometimes you
may question yourself as to how good of a parent you really are. This personal
questioning and perhaps lack of self-esteem is being presented to you in
the form of your in-laws, who are questioning your parenting skills-perhaps
as you do in waking life. An alternative interpretation could be that your
in-laws (or your husband) tend to be too critical of you and the way you
do things, and the dream is trying to portray the fact that you do nothing
wrong. In either event, the dream suggests that there is too much criticism
being directed at you-either self-directed or from other people. -A literal

Here's my dream
- My father
committed suicide five years ago. My previous dreams about my father have
been very pleasant. This morning I woke up from a dream where my father
walked into my family room and clearly stated to me that, "The kids are
staying home tomorrow, school is closed. They found out that a man is watching
your daughter from across the lake and they want the kids to stay home."
I knew he meant that this man was going to try and kidnap my daughter (age
12). I was so frightened that I woke up with my heard pounding. Was my father
trying to warn me?
Dear Dreamer,
Although it's possible that the dream is
a warning dream, a more likely interpretation centers on your father and
whatever you most recall when you think about him. For example, your father
might symbolize "depression," or "the end of something special," and so
forth-whatever most comes to mind. With this in mind, the dream could be
suggesting that your daughter is depressed or experiencing something that
your father once experienced. In other words, the man that is trying to
"kidnap" your daughter could also be a symbol for whatever took your father
away. At the very least, if you daughter has been having emotional problems
lately, the dream is definitely suggesting that she needs to get out of
her regular routine and find someone that she feels comfortable talking
to. –
Here's my dream
- I am currently
5 months pregnant with my first child. I dreamt that I was holding my little
girl as a newborn and then I was watching her play outside walking around.
In the dream she was running after a butterfly and got too close to the
top of a drop and before I could get to her she fell several feet to the
bottom of a cement ground and died. This dream has really upset me and I
would like to know what it might mean. Thank you.
Dear Dreamer,
Although a literal dream might indicate
some kind of a challenge with your pregnancy, a much more likely interpretation
is a metaphorical one that deals specifically with you. If the dream is
about having a child, then the dream could indicate that freedom as you
have known it (as illustrated by the butterfly) is about to come to a complete
end because of having a child. Alternately, the dream may have nothing to
do with your child and could indicate that some new beginning you have been
chasing after (e.g. work or a personal opportunity) is going to drop out
of site and come to an end. I hope that helps.
