I had this interesting dream a few weeks ago, but I was wondering what the wilting of the flowers might mean. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,
divinia

I had the most unusual dream last night. Yesterday I borrowed a book from my library called "The Encyclopedia of Bach Flower Therapy" by Mechthild Scheffer. I browsed through it last night, barely looking at the individual flowers. I went to sleep with much more difficulty than usual (I was feeling excited for no identifiable reason.) and with the conscious thought of that I wanted to help to heal my son. When he was born he had very low APGAR scores and they whisked him away to the NICU for breathing difficulties. I was (and still am) a first-time mother and I did not go with him and, in fact, did not really spend much time with him at all for the first 5 days of his life. I have always wondered what psychological and spiritual effects this might have had on him.

Anyway, when I awoke this morning, I remembered a dream I had last night. I was dreaming about my witchy self -- I don't mean witchy with a "b", but rather witchy as in magickal -- and I was dreaming about flowers. I didn't know for sure what flower I was dreaming about, but I kept referring to them as roses (but they weren't traditional roses). In my dream I had planted these flowers and they had grown beautifully, but now when I walked past them or even looked at them they wilted and drew themselves up (like shrunken morning glories). When I looked in the Bach Flower Therapy book again this morning I discovered that the flowers I had dreamed about were wild roses. The ones in my dream looked exactly like the picture in the book. I am taking this as a sign that I need to give my son (and myself) Wild Rose Essence ASAP.

Well, that makes sense to me. That, or you feel like your romantic life is withering away, the "wild" side of it?

Much light for your son, and you.

divinia -
I've thought on this a bit since the first time I read it and the same thing comes to me. Bear with me here as I try to put it into words.

The relationship you have with your son may seem unconventional to you, but it is still a beautiful relationship given the love you have for him. I believe the flowers represent this relationship. You said that in the dream you had planted the flowers, just as you have "planted" the relationship with your son. They are both a little "wild" but stunning all the same. Paying attention to the flowers wilted them. Perhaps you are paying too much attention to and worrying about your relationship with your son? The closer you look at something the more likely you are to see it's flaws and imperfections. I feel that your dream is trying to tell you not to worry so much. If you spend all of your time focusing on what is "wrong" with something soon that is all it will be - wrong. Focus instead on the beautiful things you have developed with your son and nurture that.

Another thing to think about. Adoptions. Parents that adopt are still able to bond with the child, no matter how old the child was when the adoption took place.
Also, you had nine months of bonding while he grew in you. Five days is nothing compared to that.


Many blessings and much love to you and your son.
