She has dreamt that she is looking for a house to rent for her son Adam and his girlfriend Suzann. She goes into the neighborhood of our Grandma Baker's house. She finds a house, but it's abandoned. (I dreamed about Grandma's house on 11/22, but I didn't tell Cathy until tonight) She looks in the windows, and looks in the basement window. There she sees 2 women tied up. She cannot see their faces, and doesn't remember anything about them except that they are in this empty basement tied up. She said that she knew in her dream they had been there for a month without food or water. Someone had kidnapped them and put them there to die.

She tells her husband Don, who has a friend with him but she doesn't know who it is. She said it is a man, but she can't ever see his face. Last night, she dreamt that she went there again, and saw them. She told her husband AGAIN, and that they had to do something, she told him that time was running out and they had to help them. In previous dreams, she has told Don, but they have both been too afraid to help them. She said that he went inside the house, and called for her, but that she refused to go inside.

She was gripped with fear of what they would look like, had they died, decomposed etc...she said that Don came out of the house, with his friend and told her that one of the women had died.

She woke up in a sweat and a panic. She thinks she is dreaming this right before she wakes up. But each time she is VERY frightened.

Any thoughts on this? She feels that this is a premonition, and she has even considered driving over to the area where Grandma's house is, just to see if she "feels" anything...I encouraged her to do that...but...I also told her that maybe there are different meanings to this...

I very much agree with Stella, particularly her last statement.

It seems that perhaps this dreams stems from anxieties about the son growing up or moving out.

It is suggested that there are old/outdated characteristics (grandma's house) that your sister has repressed (basement) and which are now, or will be, presented to her awareness (basement window).

But there is some degree of denial concerning these unconscious, repressed energies (cannot see faces/refused to go inside) - she does not want to acknowledge them. In some way she feels trapped, or that her growth has been restricted (kidnapped/no food, water).

It is suggested that she call upon the masculine forces within Self (husband/friend) in order to reach out, be more aggressive, to go INside, so as to release these repressed energies.

So, in a sense, this could be a sort of premonition - she may be getting ready to face some things that have been buried within herSelf for a long time.

What do you think? And tell us what she thinks!

Finally though, she broke the connection with him through a dream, but, began a downward spiral into deep and dark depression. While she lingered in this dark pit, our Grandma, her mother, lifted us up into the light through her own spirit. She brought peace and love into our lives. She was very calm and very loving. She exanirates the word "Christian" to me. She was a Christian in every aspect of that word, in my eyes.

She provided for us a safe place. We would "retreat" to her house when life with our mother became unbearable. My eldest sister married at age 18, to get out of our house and away from our mother. The next sister married at age 19...and guess what? I followed suit and married 2 months after my 18th birthday. Why? To get away from her wild antics and destructive ways.

Today, if you met my mother, you'd call me a liar. For many things have happened in her life to call to her attention that she needed to change for the better. Unfortunately all 3 of us carry many scars from her invisible lashes. We all suffer weight anxieties...flucuations of sometimes extreme proportions. We suffer migraines and anxiety in general. We are all perfectionists in one way or another...about our looks, our homes, our jobs etc...and we all have self inflated opinions of ourselves. We can each do better than the other...and certainly can do things much better than someone else. These ARE NOT easy admissions for myself...and certainly not for my 2 older sisters.

These are just the iceberg of our personalities...3 individuals, yet we are sisters therefore we share similar traits. We have also suffered in the aspect of love, never finding ourselves a "perfect enough" mate, and never feeling perfect enough ourselves, never thinking we can do any better, therefore settling for sometimes less than best. Two of us are divorced and remarried. The other remains in a loveless marriage, one loveless for about 27 years now.

So, through all of this family disfunction, we ran to Grandma Baker, because she gave us stability. We knew she'd take care of us, not just feeding us, for our mother handled the duty part of mother ok, it was the intellectual and supportiveness that she lacked for us. But, Grandma, she could READ us. She read auras...I know this now that I am older and can do it myself. Thinking back on times with her, I know she had this gift. And by reading us, she cared for us very well.

My mother has this gift as well...but during those years, she turned it off, through depression and depression medications. Her gift is VERY keen today though.

I hope this offers up alittle ..well..more like alot..of information about my sisters and our grandmother...
