The other night I dreamed that I ran into an old girlfriend. We were co-workers once and had activities outside of the job but I would not say we were deeply close, just superficially. I ran up to her and was crying that it was so nice to see her and I was really crying to find out she had two children. I am a childless Virgo but I have never had a strong desire for kids, not having any doesn't bother me.

Welcome thirteen!

That does sound odd, doesn't it? I'm sure we can come up with some ideas. I'll give it some thought. Anyone?

It may take a few tries before we nail this one down, so bear with me.

The first thing I notice are possible references to a part of yourself that is somewhat buried. The old girlfriend could represent an aspect of self that is unacknowledged or hidden. She having two children could represent undeveloped (children) and conflicting (two) energies/aspects within you. Very similar symbols.

When you were crying in the dream about her having children, was this out of happiness? You were happy to see her and cried, but did that feeling change when you found out about the children - was that crying different?

In waking life, has there been some recent conversation or thought when children came up?

Are you aware of any internal conflict manifesting recently? Conflicting thoughts?

If none of this feels right or does not seem to fit, we'll try again from another perspective.

Last night i dreamed of another friend from my insurance industry days. I worked in that field for many ( 15ish) years so I had a lot of contacts then. But back to the other dream. When I cried it was out of happiness. When I found out about the children i cried harder but still out of happiness. In the last 8-9 years that I have been married I have lost many friends, they moved out of state or I did. My husb and I have not found any friends that we like to hang out with. I have often wished for friends to hang out with because we spend too much time with his family and I don't relate well with them. Maybe its related to my wish for friends.

thirteen-

I know that I too have often dreamed of people from my past like you are decribing. It usually means that I am in need of getting out and finding "new friends".

Everytime we move I have dreams of people I bearly knew from years ago. I take this to mean that I need to remember that everything is temperary and that I need to make wise choices when it comes to finding new friends so that I do not become too close to someone that will not understand that I will be moving in a few years.

Another thing to think about is that your husband has family close and you do not (I'm assuming) then have dreams relating to others have family (children) my be a longing from you to have "roots" of your own, weither that is children, family or very close friends.

I hope that I helped.

Love,
Irish

I think you guys have it.

Thirteen, you said not having children does not bother you ... what about in the future, when you are older?

I think we have the dream figured out for it's most relevant, present tense meaning, but I cannot help but to feel that the children tie into deeper layers somehow.

Anyway, thank you for sharing your dream thirteen.
