Emotionally scary dream about my child..

A Disturbance in the Force
I dreamed I was at a meeting in a library with several friends and strangers, my fiancé and our 3 month old son. During the meeting, I got bored so I took the baby to feed him in the car. During the meeting, my fiancé and the other guests were drinking heavily and having fun but I was not. While the baby and I were in the car, somehow the gear switched from Parked to Neutral and the car started to roll backward. Every time I hit the brakes it sped up. I started to really worry that something could happen and my baby would be hurt. I tried to stop the car, a stranger who was playing the part of my fiancé's brother tried to help us and (weirdly) Aladdin from the Disney movie all tried to stop the car but couldn't. Finally, we slowed the car down enough that I could grab the baby and jump out. After we were out, the car crashed into a pickup truck and I realized that it had been a toy car all along. It didn't even scratch the truck.

After that happened, my fiancé was afraid for us to drive home, so we decided to stay the night in the library basement, which had somehow turned into a church. We climbed down several flights of stairs and emerged in a baptism font. My fiancé wanted us to bathe ourselves and the baby, so he turned on the water and the room started to fill with water. This scared me so I found a regular shower in another room and bathed myself. I came back to the room where he was with my baby and found them floating on a pool. The room had become a large deck where there were several swimming pools and the sun was shining. Each pool also had an animal in it. The pool they were in had a playful seal. This made me feel anxious but not terribly so. Then my fiancé switched to a pool with a bear swimming in it. I told him there was a bear in the pool, but he didn't believe me and put our child on a float and into the pool. I frantically swam out into the pool to save my baby from the bear which hadn't even noticed he was there. At that point, I started noticing that dream me was hallucinating. I began seeing my baby everywhere. I couldn't tell which was real and which was an animal pretending to be him. I was terrified but trying to tell myself that this had happened before in my dream. I woke up feeling extremely anxious

My child is 3 months old. I don't know what this dream means, but it's pretty typical of all my dreams. Since he was born, it is rare for me to go a night without a bad dream. They aren't really nightmares I wouldn't say, they are usually just emotionally uncomfortable or scary to me. Also possibly noteworthy information, I've had extreme anxiety since he has been born but haven't been diagnosed with postpartum depression or anxiety and haven't taken any medicine for it. What do you suppose this dream means?
 
I have recently read that C's say that most of are dreams is just way of mind to get rid of garbage. But probably someone with more knowledge will give you better answer.

For example, last night I had a dream that I'm coming near to the Chateau where Laura with others lives. House wasn't chateau, it was very small and it was all very orange with very nice white car in front. I stood and just look at the house when Laura went outside to see who it looking ;). I felt uncomfortable and left.
I wake up very angry and cranky ;). Who would know why? ;D

In the time when I explored my dreams I had little nootbook next to my bed and write than as soon as I wake up. In some books I found out that if we wanna explore are dreams that best way is to connect subject, objects, colors, numbers or letters with are own meaning of those.
 
Yeah, I'm thinking it might just be my brain getting rid of the stress of being a new mom & all. It felt really symbolic as I was waking up but looking back over it, obviously seems like a lot of stress and feeling out of control and responsible for my child. Pretty standard stuff I would think.
 
Hi Eforbes88, this being his first intervention here in the forum, I make the invitation to you, to make your presentation, in the section of novice, we can say with found the Forum, the material on this forum with which you are familiar, if you have Laura read the books of with which you are comfortable.

Interepretacion think of dreams, many factors intervene, diet is a very important one, sleep patterns, so the person step along that day, some dreams are messages from the subconscious, only to be distorted by these I mention factors, in diet and health section (https://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/board,32.0.html), you will find research on this forum which is optimal for our bodies, paleo or ketogenic diet, it is also recommended meditation, here we practice program:
http://eiriu-eolas.org/
with excellent results on the stress control, process emotions, etc. :flowers:
 
Hi Eforbes88,

Nightmares are fairly common postpartum from what I've read. Being a new mother is bound to add to the stress. :) It was probably your brain dumping some stress and anxiety. Also, your hormones are trying to get back to normal after giving birth, so that will affect your dreams, too.

I second the suggestion for Eiriu-Eolas breathing and mediation program. You can read more about the program and practitioner's experiences on this thread. It's fantastic and has been proven to reduce stress, help with anxiety and your emotions. It's also available for free.

As Riclapaz mentioned, it's customary here on the Forum that new members post a brief intro about themselves in the Newbies section, telling us how you found this forum, how long you've been reading it and/or the SOTT page, whether or not you've read any of Laura's books yet, etc. There are examples in that section you can read to get an idea.
Welcome to the Forum! :welcome:
 
Hello Eforbes88, and welcome to the Forum.

My take on your dream is that your baby is not yet 'souled' and that there are numerous souls out there testing the waters as it were, to see if the baby's FRV matches the learning pattern they wish to achieve.
At some point in the future, one (or more) souls may enter your child and its learning will begin.
Some of the learning will be for you and your family members, as well.

You can use the Forum search function to check these ideas out.
Have fun!
