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!!
