radiant health
Hi Rosa – I think your dreams are fairly typical fear dreams – caused not only by the stress that having a young child places upon anyone, but also by the recent scare that you had concerning your own health – the diagnosis of congestive heart failure during pregnancy. I suspect that your recent diagnosis […]
mom dies
Hi Jennie – I’m not exactly sure what the meaning of your mother’s dream is, but I do know that her dream is the reason why you had your dream! Your mom’s dream scared you, for obvious reasons, but I genuinely don’t think you need to get too stressed out or paranoid about it. The […]
a stranger
Hi Jaime— I am sorry to learn about your distressing dream. It is every mother’s greatest fear that she might lose a child. Dreams of being threatened by strangers, of course, are common. If we feel vulnerable in our waking lives, we often experience dreams of being chased and attacked. The question we seek to […]
my father’s grave
Hi Jeremy – I am sorry to learn of your father’s death. It is common for people to dream about loved ones who have passed on. Typically the dead visit us in our dreams with regularity in the period immediately following their transition, and then as time passes, the dream visits decrease in frequency. I […]
last hug
Dear Kelly – It’s a curious dream, though not too uncommon. I think you may be associating the loss of your grandfather, whom you did not get a chance to “say goodbye” to, with that deepest of all fears of a parent – losing a child. Perhaps the death of your grandfather – and it’s […]
worried about baby
Hi Jennifer, Jayne, and Sandrine – I hope that by putting these dreams together, you will see the common concerns each of you shares. Each of you is a mother to young children, ranging in age from 2 – 5 years old. In each dream, as soon as you let your child out of your […]
super mom
Hi Lisa – Believe it or not, I think your two dreams are related, and I’ll tell you why. “Back to school” dreams are incredibly common among busy people. Doctors, lawyers, professionals, busy housewives—nearly everyone has had one. (Do an informal survey among your friends—you’ll be surprised how many of them will say, “Oh yeah! […]
neglected birds
Hi Patty – Your dream is common among people who are responsible for the care and livelihood of others. First-time mothers of newborns, especially, often have this style of “fear” dreams. They dream they have been shopping for hours when suddenly they realize they have no idea where their baby is – or they dream […]
parenting
Hi Gina – When you looked this one up in your dream dictionary you probably looked under “roller-coaster” – but I think the proper keywords are “baby not strapped in” – words that bring a rush of panic to any mother driving in a car with her children. This type of dream – a “maternal […]
my grandparent’s house
I am in my grandparent’s house. (Both have been deceased for quite some time.) Sometimes I am alone; sometimes there are other family members there. The house is pretty dark, but I can still see where everything is. I am overcome by this horrible fear that someone on the outside is trying to get in […]
butterfly
My fiance has recently had a couple of dreams that have disturbed us. First she dreams of finding a dead butterfly – the most beautiful butterfly she’s ever seen – but it’s dead. Second she dreams about working Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights as a chef in a busy restaraunt (she is, by her own […]
cats and dogs!
I had a dream that my wife and I had a new puppy and a kitten that played and got along together just fine. In the dream the kitten was hiding inside a closet. I got the kitten to come out, and out of nowhere the puppy ran out and attacked the kitten. I was […]
