More on Dreamsl...

Here is another dream.... "I was at a sea side... large rocks and cliffs. The water was calm and clear. I could see the bottom. My son wanted to go in the water. I kept calling to him not to do that as he could not swim and did not have his life jacket. He finally turned back and went away. As he went up and away from the water, I turned and saw that on one of the large wet rocks was my friend's five year old daughter who plays with my son often. She was trying tot ouch the water and I was scared she would fall into the water. I kept calling to her and asking ther to stop and wait for me. She did not hear me. Then she fell into the water. When I finally got close enough I jumped intothe water and swam toward her. She started to sink again just as I was within an arm's reach of her. At that point, the water was clouded with san dust. I was trying to grab her with my arms and finally connected and I pulled her out and onto the rock from which she fell. I felt wet and relieved when she started to cough.
This dream reflects the dreamer's life experience. She is female. Thus her son represents her developing subconscious self and the little girl represents are developing conscious self. In her life, she is at a peaceful place. Yet she has the perception of large obstacles (rocks). She also has clarity (water is clear). A part of her developing subconscious self appears in jeopardy (son). But it is ultimately safe.
The little girl is her conscious self and it appears to be in danger. (She is trying to rescue herself.) As she does that, circumstances seem clouded (sandy water). She ultimately is able to save herself.
This dreamer needs to look at her experience the day before the dream and match her feelings of fear and relief to what was going on then. At that point she will have a clearer idea of what part of her life the dream is referring to. The bottom line is that even though her life appears beautiful and calm, there appears to be a threat. She is able to manage the obstacles and be safe, but not without consternation and stress. My question to the dreamer is this: How much does fear and anticipation of calamity control your thinking and therefore your life?
Blessings!!

Dreams... what does it mean when...??

More on dreams and visions. A client asked me about recurring dreams "of various situations and places in which my husband is unfaithful and in which he tells me that he just needs another person in addition to our family. There absolutely is no real reasonor grounds for these dreams, but when they do ahappen I wake up upset and angry andmost times cry for a large part of that day."
"I am pretty sure this is something I have to deal with inside myself, but cannot figure out what. Do you have suggestions?"
Yes, I do. Since this is a female dreamer, her husband represents her subconscious mind. Thus the dream is indicating that she is not being faithful to her desires. On a subconsicous level she is believing that she needs something more... something in addition to her family.
She may be right. Most likely she has desires that are unfulfilled. My suggestion is to look back on the day before she had this dream last and see if what she occupied herself with jelled with what she really wants in life. Was it fulfilling enough for her?
This dreamer is correct in that the dream is about her and not her husband. What she needs to do is to figure out how she is not being true to herself and her desires.
