Hi Christy—
Welcome to the always-confusing world of maternal instincts dreams! Your dream is not precognitive in any way. To the contrary, you care so much for your daughter that you worry about her getting hurt -- especially since you also worry about her getting the attention she deserves.
As a parent of two young children, you obviously recognize the window in your dining room -- which needs to be fixed -- as a potentially serious accident. What would happen if one of your children put a hand through the window, playing, and wound up getting cut? What if they tried to stick their heads through the window, and then fell?
Your dream reflects fears common to every caring parent. And indeed, a clue left in your dream informs us that, while your eight-year-old surely is more responsible now (and needs less tending than when she was a toddler), you still often think of her as a small child. When you retrieve her from the broken window where you find her, she is transformed into a two-year-old girl. What is the meaning of this curious dream transformation? She's still your "little girl" (no matter how old she is), and you still worry about her accidentally getting hurt.
By showing your daughter unharmed by her accident, the dream informs us that her accident was not real, and also hints at a broader, symbolic meaning. If you are concerned that your daughter's current "lack of attention" (due to your son's medical condition) may be "injuring"
her, your dream is a sign that you need to make a regular "appointment" for her -- in your already busy doctor's schedule! You can put this on your list of things to do - right after you fix that broken window!
