There are a few different ways to look at this. This could be a physical change, such as moving, a mental change, as in outlook or perception, or a spiritual change, which could mean many things. Any or all of these could be represented, you will have to decide, but ultimately it seems to be spiritual in nature - but then, I suppose they all are!

I will try to make this relatively short and relay some of the symbols that I am seeing. First, we must determine the symbology of your daughters. They either represent themselves or they could represent aspects of yourself when you were at or near the age of them in the dream. Do you recall going through any transition at the age of 23? Was there something in your experience then that could relate to the experience of your older daughter now? If so, then look more carefully at the age of 11 months also. If not, then perhaps they represent themselves.

So, you and your daughters had "passed away" - some sort of transition, having to with either some material change, like moving or even avoiding, or perhaps something more internal and personal, like a change in thought or change in spiritual awareness. Your daughter tells you to "change" into white clothing - indicates a change into purity, cleansing, awareness, and in alchemical terms (which for some reason I am leaning towards) represents the third stage (and there are three of you in the dream) of transformation marked by new knowing. Have you become more aware? Do you feel like you have taken some sort of step (or may be about to)? In the dream, you are reluctant. But your daughter continues to tell you to "change", and finally you do. Slipping on the last white sock could be a subtle symbol for change from head to toe, all the way to your foundation (foot). At this point, after you have fully "changed" into the white "clothing", the dream seems to take on a different feeling, you seem less unnerved, and things seem to come together and progress more easily, with the help of your daughter.

Now, upon exiting the "changing" room, you find that you are situated in the midst of huge mountains, complete with a chasm just before you. This could indicate the level at which you are presently (spiritually, mentally or physically), or at which you will be upon changing. Mountains can also symbolize obstacles, cycles (ups and downs), change, and accomplishment. It seems you are somewhere between the bottom and the top, not a bad place to be! It means you have already come far, but of course there is still a way to go. But where is it that you are going? It seems you are journeying to the "other side." There are people already there, who have made a transition, a transition to another mountain, and they are encouraging you, sending you "warmth". They are also wearing white, which could indicate a similarity of vibration, or the necessity for it. Have any of these people that you know over there passed relatively recently? Or does this seem more general? There seems to be some effort for communication, but I am not certain who is initiating. Do you feel that the veil between you and the "other side" has thinned in recent times?

In the dream you are still reluctant to go, but again your daughter insists, and off you go. Then you awaken, crying deeply. Some sort of healing is happening. It could be some past experience that must be healed, something you have buried in your subconscious to some degree (chasm) and is, or will, present itself so that you may continue your journey. This experience could involve your daughters, and could also involve one or more of the persons who had already passed over in your dream. Or it could have occurred at those relative ages of your daughters. Or, your daughters could represent the complete you (3) and the necessity to be whole in order to continue whatever it is that you have begun, something that either relates to communication with the "other side" or simply something which "they" are helping you with.

Well, so much for keeping this short! As you can see, I really have no idea what your dream actually means , but I hope some of these possibilities may help you to discern the meaning better.

Please let me know if you figure out which meanings, if any, are intended, it helps me much!

Thank you for sharing your dream!

Next, as my daughters-I have 4-discused it, we tended to get the same or similar feelings you have given!

Before I went to sleep that night I got still and spoke with my hidden self(inner child 5yrs old)and she was telling me things she has done to get my attention and they have not always been very nice.

Anyway, I am changing in big ways...I am finishing school with a degree in education which I put off finishing for about 10 years, I am remarried after having been married for 20 years. When I first remarried I carried the luggage of my old marriage and its hurts with me. I now find I am easing up on my new husband and seeing him for himself rather than blaming him too for my first failed marriage. It has drastically reduced the arguements and such..

I have had a very complex relationship with my mother. She has had severe bipolar disorder first most of my life and has spent time in and out of psychiatric hospitals. She now refuses to take any meds so she tends to be a bit psychotic...She believes, for example, there are "witches and demons and KKK" after her. She has mader herself a prisoner inside of her own home. Yet she will call me and tell me things like I am a small minded person who is also a demon trying to get her or she tries to advise me how to life my life..etc. Well the day before this dream I basically expressed my thoughts to her about her and held no punches and decided not to attempt tp recreate a relationship there where none exists.

Finally, My father passed away 8/2001. He ahd not been ill but had one hospital visit that was near fatal because his lungs were full of fluid. As it goes, he got out of the hospital and was a lot better and passed away alone in a little room he called home 3 months later. I have lived far from my parents since I was 17yrs old so we were not especially close but I was close to Dad as a girl and he made no bones about the fact he really loved and respected me. We were able to do some healing prior to his death.

In other words, this is the background and you were very much on point. My oldest daughter is very close to me and is the one to give me a little nudge when need be. My 11month old is liek an old soul and seems much older and single minded than any child I have had(she was the only child I nursed).She watches me like a hawk!

The change word is about me changing like you said! I agree I am half way there and I am ready to make the rest of the journey!

Thank you,

Much love and respect for you and your gift.

That is an impressive dream, and I think Ra and you are right....it is about deep change on the spiritual (WHITE) level which always effects the physical.

Sounds to me like you are finally taking charge of YOUR life and not letting anything from the past try to run it for you ever ever again.

And I think your girls are proud of that on both the physical and the spiritual levels. Also sounds like they are going to be very helpful as guides along the way. Of course now and then you will have to remind them that in this time line you are the 'Mommy'

And give your inner 5 year old a big hug...I think she is going to be a much happier aspect of you from now on

You are blessed you have such relationships with you daughters, especially your oldest!
