haunted by mother
My mother was mentally unbalanced. She was emotionally cruel as I was growing up and our relationship deteriorated to nothing as the years passed. She died two years ago and has since haunted me, occasionally, with the cruelest of dreams. In my dreams she ridicules me of everything – from the way I raise my […]
last dance
I am in a room with 3 rows of steps on all 4 walls. The steps have rows of white candles all alight. There are windows on 2 walls with flowing white drapes, but no doors. The steps, walls and floors are all polished wood. In the middle of the room I’m dancing with a […]

Hi Sue – Could you please tell us more about your relationship with this man? Is he a mentor figure? The dream appears to have religious/spiritual overtones, indicated by the candles and 3 steps. What are your associations and memories with the polished wood? Also, and perhaps most important, think back to 6 years ago, […]
gentle kiss
I am a 28 year old Asian woman now living and working in the city. I had a dream after the death of my paternal grandmother, which I would just like to share with you. When my grandmother was 83, she came to live with us, at my parent’s house in the suburbs, and stayed […]
gentle kiss
Hi Anonymous – Thank you for sharing your moving dream. We will always wonder if, during these dream encounters with loved ones who are dying or deceased, we actually make contact with their lingering spirit, or if we merely are working out, in our own minds, the emotions we feel which surround their passing. So […]
worm inside me
Last night I had the most interesting dream. It began with me sleeping at my current boyfriend’s parents’ house in Boston. He had his own bedroom. In the dream I remembered that I had to come back to New York. His parents and family suddenly came in to enjoy a huge meal with my boyfriend […]
kittens
I had a dream the other night that my son got me up and I had to return him to his bed. In the process of doing so, I discovered that he was a kitten. He spoke to me in his normal voice, but he was a kitten! Upon awakening, I realized that I had […]
healthy ponies
I was standing watching a pony in a paddock with no feed. I seemed to keep putting off moving it or feeding it hay. In my mind, though, I could visualise what I wanted for the pony – lush pasture, rolling green hills, a sparkling stream… I stood watching it for a long time. Suddenly […]
boy at risk!
I have always seemed to have very vivid and sometimes very frightening dreams. One of the people I dream most often about is my youngest sister. At one point in her life she tried to take her own life and because of a dream, I was able to find her when no one else knew […]
daughters are pregnant!
I dreamed that both of my daughters (16 and 18) were pregnant. My 16-year-old went into labor at home, and I delivered her baby. The baby was talking and saying she couldn’t see. Nobody would take care of the baby — I was the only one that would feed her (it was a girl), and […]
parent of a 15-year-old boy
As background, I am a single parent of a 15-year-old boy. Shortly after moving in with my current boyfriend (almost two years ago now), I dreamed that the three of us were walking around in the industrial area of our city, in and out of old warehouse-type buildings. We were up on the roof of […]
tubes tied
I have two children. After the birth of my son I decided to have my tubes tied. I felt that this would be a good decision because I wanted to be able to give my kids individual attention and that, with any more than two, I would not be able to do that. My doctor […]
