A recurring dream question

[IsisErin]

I know that Puma Hime's got a thread just now about her recurring dream (some of which is relevant to this) and there are heaps of others, some of which I've read, but I thought I'd ask anyway as I'm a little unsure about it all.

What I can remember is that the dream is about a little dark haired, dark eyed girl of about four, who is my daughter. I just know she is, she doesn't call me mum or anything. We are on a beach on a cold, grey-skied day, she's dressed for winter with a coat on. My ex-boyfriend is there as well and he chases the little girl around and she laughs like crazy. He picks her up and holds her in his arms, and I just feel so happy because I love them both so much.

I've been having this dream for ages, over two years, about once a week. When I started having it, I was with my ex-boyfriend, who then became my best friend, but now we don't speak anymore. It just makes me sad when I wake up now because I miss him.

Is there any way I can stop dreaming about her? It's not a good start to my day now, it always makes me cry. Does anyone know what it might mean? Am I really dreaming of my daughter? Or am I just dreaming of my ex because I miss him.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Again - the Indians say tht the dreams that you remember are the ones that you are to act upon. Acting upon the dream does not necessarily mean doing anything in the mundane world. The dream has a message for you that only you can truly interpret and you may have to invest some work into doing so. Children in dreams can represent many things but typically represent the inner or younger self and/or birth and new beginnings. She may represent your regrets and your emotional wounds. And you say that you know her - do you think she is you? Water represents emotions and the cold, gray skies likely symbolize the current state of your emotions. Your ex-boyfriend may actually not be your ex-boyfriend but a representatiion of the relationship that you long for as well as a symbol that you do miss him. He could be the symbol of a message to take a look at your past history and patterns; i.e., what you may have done differently to make the relationship succeed. To work through this, you might also take a look at what you want and don't want in a relationship and actually write this down. Making a list of what you DO want in a relationship and focusing on that on a regular basis can help you manifest it.

When you've worked through the message and understand it, you may stop having this particular dream - but if this little girl is significant to you, she may appear in other dreams from time to time. I'm getting that this is a form that one of your guides is taking because she strongly speaks to you.

Funny..........I dreamed about children last night also :)

Wow! I will definitely consider what you have said, Freyja. Thank you very much.

I was really interested about what you said about the little girl being one of my guides. She does appear in other dreams sometimes and she always holds my hand.

I'm amazed, this dream stuff really is very interesting. :)
