I will first tell you the day I had before my dream. My children went to stay out with my in-laws. We are moving and yesterday I got ahold of an appraiser to come look at our house. Its my husbands birthday. when he gets home from work he brings easter baskets for the children, roses for me, and an easter lily that his mother asked him to pick up. we eat dinner then after awhile go to bed. I dont remember any dreams except for the one right before I wake up.


The dream starts out I'm standing in a back yard of what I assume is supposed to be our new home. I hear a fire truck and see it coming to my house. When I turn around I see that my childrens play house / our flower garden is on fire. all of the potted plants are burning. I grab a hose and start putting all of them out. When I finish I question my children as to what happend. They then tell me that the tiger lilies that my mother in-law planted started them. I then realize that the tiger lilies are telipathic and they tell me that the reason they started the fires is because they want to live in a better garden. I then got very angry because my oldest daughter died in the fires. I grab a hoe and I dig the flowers up and chop them into bits. I then pick up my oldest start to cry and I look at my husband and tell him that we need to give her a proper buryal. She starts kicking and twitching in my arms a realize that the tiger lilies transferd their life essence into her life less form. she starts to open her eyes and they are orange and black. Then I wake up.

Fires in dreams are all about urgency and transition. Death in dreams is all about change and transition. Gardens are symbols of renewal and rebirth. Houses in dreams are symbols of the self. What more perfect symbol for your kids than a playhouse? Each symbol in your dream is apt for a mom on the verge of moving her family.

How you feel IN the dream reflects how you feel about it. Feelings in dreams are never disguised so how you feel IN your dream is how you really feel about its subject in your waking life at the time you had the dream. In your dream, you have feelings of concern (parental anxiety), confusion, anger and ultimately hope. Sound like the range of emotions you have experienced recently, especially regarding your move?

Your dream reveals your concern about the impact that the move will have on your kids. Your feelings are strong and eloquently express what if feels like to "uproot" your kids. The good news is that your dream ends happily with the rebirth of your child... a symbol of hope.

These are normal feelings. The message for you... check in with your kids often and keep them close so that they make the transition well, as you know in your heart they will. By doing so, you will be less anxious. A good way to "take their emotional temperature" is to ask them about their dreams. Kids love to talk about their dreams. You can learn a lot, not only about what's on their mind, but how they are doing emotionally.
