Does this dream mean anything?

[LittlePerson]

I can't really remember sequence, just details.
I was in a strange house. It was cold. Snow that was iced over lay in heaps against the inside walls of the house in several rooms.
I was breastfeeding a baby (went outside to do it) who wasn't my own. (I haven't had one in real life but the sensation felt so real I could've sworn I'd done it before in r.l.)
I remember thinking that it was soo hungry. I had a bottle in my hand too and instead of giving it the bottle I gave it my breast first, then some of the bottle.
After, when someone had asked me if I'd fed the baby I said yes and told the truth of what I'd done. I felt ashamed. I also know that it felt strange that I was producing milk when the child wasn't my own. I felt bad because I didn't want a bond to happen between me and the babe but for him or her and the real mother. But I don't know who the real mother was, I just got the feeling that it was my aunt in real life.

My aunt in real life has always been a fertile woman producing five children in her life and now has reached an age where I believe she cannot anymore and I do know I have always felt somewhat of a disdain for her production of many children whom she had to extra jobs to support on her own. I always thought she should stop or try to stop having kids. So that's the scoop on her in case your wondering.

I know that somehow I was stuck in that house. I recall eating some kind of small bowl of what looked like ginsing or nuts, something like that with a kind of sauce on it. I remember we lost the baby, just couldn't find it. A man, a very large man was walking around looking for it. He looked familiar but I didn't place him. I kept thinking of the baby needing to be held and warmed for all the ice and snow in the house. I looked for it in the little cup among the pieces of food as if it too were only an inch or half an inch big. I was afraid I would miss it and eat it. I know that part is really wierd.

I remember getting up looking for the baby and looking for a way out without being noticed. The snow was melting for I could see the ice on top was wet. I opened doors and left them open to circulate air through so it would all melt faster. I got to a large room.

There, one of my coworkers whom I recognized though I don't know her well enough in real life to think she should be in my subconscience was there walking up behind me talking about going out for a "smoke". I looked around spotting windows.

That's when my alarm clock went off.
There's one detail though that got left out. Somewhere in here don't know exactly when but I was so panicked at the thought of that baby lying cold somewhere that I was telling someone in the dream about the baby from the movie "Cold Mountain" (which I saw last weekend) lying on the cold ground, the mother unable to go to it to hold it and comfort it. I was waving my hands around frantically trying to explain how it wasn't good for the baby to be lying around in all the snow in the house.
Just thought I'd point that out, since that's the only part that did make any sense since I recognized the connection to the movie.

Any thoughts on what it all might mean?

I'll try taking this in pieces for you.
I can't really remember sequence, just details.
I was in a strange house. It was cold. Snow that was iced over lay in heaps against the inside walls of the house in several rooms.
I was breastfeeding a baby (went outside to do it) who wasn't my own. (I haven't had one in real life but the sensation felt so real I could've sworn I'd done it before in r.l.) This could have been a feel from a past life experience of nursing a child of your own. I don't give this part of the dream to be a past life experience just the feeling of knowing you did it before.
I remember thinking that it was soo hungry. I had a bottle in my hand too and instead of giving it the bottle I gave it my breast first, then some of the bottle.
After, when someone had asked me if I'd fed the baby I said yes and told the truth of what I'd done. I felt ashamed. I also know that it felt strange that I was producing milk when the child wasn't my own. I felt bad because I didn't want a bond to happen between me and the babe but for him or her and the real mother. But I don't know who the real mother was, I just got the feeling that it was my aunt in real life. In this part I belive your feeling the pressure of chioce on this topic of breast or bottle. Knowing breast milk is natural for the baby was why you chose it first but you might have felt uncomfortable telling other you would nurse.

My aunt in real life has always been a fertile woman producing five children in her life and now has reached an age where I believe she cannot anymore and I do know I have always felt somewhat of a disdain for her production of many children whom she had to extra jobs to support on her own.

In these next sections I believe you were feeling your own opinion on your Aunts life and how even though you would follow different steps this dream clearly states that you would indeed be a naturally loving and caring mother to a child even if it wasn't your own.

And of course the movie part you understood already. I hope this helps you understand your dream better. I'm not sure what is going on in your life but it is clear from the dream that you have formed your own opinion on several points.

I most add something though because it screams at me in the dream! The baby being small looking for it in the food and afraid you might miss it. I'm wondering if you might be pregnant or are worried if you ever did become pregnant if you would realize it or not, this would go with being a nuturing parent you wouldn't want to do something that would hurt a baby so the worries of missing those signs come up in the dream.

Thank you for your interpretation. The thing is in R.L. I want to have a baby, I want to become pregnant but we're waiting for two reasons. 1. we cannot affort it and 2. my husband wants to wait till I'm at least thirty to start which is still another year off. And I have quite a lot of feelings of frustration and jealousy in real life because we cannot start already. So, perhaps that is showing in the dream? Again thank you. Do you think you might know the reason for all the snow and ice inside the house?

I just read that the breastfeeding can mean good things will come after hard work, which I can say I was so happy to read because I've been feeling I've worked so hard for nothing because I want my dreams to come true. With me being the sole wage earner I've been feeling frustrated and reading this about good things to come has made me feel better.

And yeah, I'm have a pretty strong optinion about how breast feeding is better than bottle feeding though I've not done it before so it's not so surprising I'd think so in my dream even if the baby wasn't my own what was so wierd was that I could since I didn't carry the baby myself.

Greetings I'd say the snow and ice is actually what your feeling, frustrated and maybe thinking your getting a bit of a cold shoulder so to speak on the subject of waiting. Everyone says they want to wait until they can afford it which having three children of my own I can say you'll never afford it unless you get rich! There's always a need for a child that comes up out of know where.


Good Luck!:dancy:
