premature labor

Hi Anonymous— By the time you read this dream, you are most likely the proud mother of a healthy new baby, delivered on time and without any extraordinary complications in childbirth. Congratulations! Your dream, however, no doubt caused you a fair amount of consternation pre-delivery. And you ask an excellent question. What is the meaning […]

ex-lover sends a gift

I have recurring dreams about my ex-lover. We have been apart for eight months (together 17 months) and I ended the relationship because he had issues with commitment. He was commitment-phobic. I believe I have moved past a lot of the pain the relationship caused, but there will always be a part of me that […]

pregnancy test

Hi Catherine— Elevators in dreams represent vehicles that take us to “new locations” in our lives. You and your boyfriend wish to watch a movie together (the plans you have for your future?) but the elevators don’t work. When elevators do not work in dreams, it represents unexpected difficulty arriving at a goal or destination. […]

dead horse

I had two strong dreams within a three-day period… Dream 1: I was burying a horse. I was digging the grave with someone else but there were worms all over my feet so I stopped digging. When I turned around, the horse was buried and all you could see was the fresh dirt and a […]

polygamy!

Hi Denise – Are you trying to have children but so far not gotten pregnant? It sounds like the other woman’s being pregnant plays an important role in your dream. If so, you may be worried about your ability to have children and then – the irrational insecure thought/feeling comes – maybe my husband will […]

floating shoes

Background: I was married for 16 years, and have been divorced for over two years. I have two children — a 16-year-old and a 12-year-old. I haven’t dated since my husband left. Being a Christian, I waited to see if he would return to our family. I also wanted to give myself time to heal […]

other women

Dear Sara – Do you really find it puzzling that you would be having sad dreams about your husband, now that he has been sentenced to prison for four years? I would be sad too. It is a sad time for you, and your dreams are reflecting this. You should be celebrating your honeymoon. You […]

lost in a motel

I have a recurring dream which basically consists of me being in a large place, usually a motel. There are pools in several rooms, and I am searching for a room, but I never get into one. The rooms are always taken by other people, and I invariably walk in on people having sex. Or […]

my husband’s ex

I had a dream in which my present husband and I were getting ready to get married. I was running around in my wedding dress and we were doing all sorts of pre-wedding things. During all of this, his ex-girlfriend was there. She was obviously upset about our marriage, except in the dream this “ex” […]

no penis

Hi Ally – Thanks for writing all the way from Australia! Do you think maybe that this guy at first appeared to have no penis because you recognized his inexperience? In some ways it almost is the same thing. But of course he does have a penis and then you saw it and were excited […]

newlywed

Hi Debbie – It’s nice to be appreciated, isn’t it? 🙂 Now that you have settled down and committed yourself to one man for the rest of your life (isn’t that what they say in those wedding vows?), do you think it is possible that you are experiencing some of that “missed opportunity” syndrome? There […]

my husband sleeps with a co-worker

Last night my husband and I got into an argument just before I was leaving to go to my night class. We have both been very stressed out lately. I have been trying to quit smoking and have cut down considerably because we would like to have a baby, and he has been down for […]
