I'm dressed in 1800's long flowing dress.
The dress was white with purple polka dots and trim.
And I had dark brown hair, pulled up in some sort of knot, with trendils hanging down.

The mansion is huge!
Like there's a community inside it, lots of shops, but they are inside this building/mansion.

The shops were a china shop of some sort. And I remember a bakery, and a merchantile. There were other shops, but i don't remember what they were. I was going in & out searching.
Seemed strange that these shops were inside this mansion. Strikes me strange as I'm dreaming it as well. (bewildering)
But also a feeling of familuarity.

There was a post office as well, but no one there. Lots of the shops had no one in them. Which was another thing that scared me.
I think that most everyone was gone, the reason for so few people.
Like shop keepers...older people.
I remember one man, elderly gentleman with white hair and mouchdash. Why I remember him I don't know, he couldn't tell me anything either, I think I felt sorry for him that he was trying to load things up in a wagon by himself.

I don't remember seeing any weapons, or soldiers. And I don't remember any explosives going off.
As far as some type of invasion, but it could be, that being so frightened that I paid them no attention. I wasn't afraid for my life, just worried about him. (finding him was the main objective)
I do believe we were married, no one treated me shamefully, maybe they didn't know, where he was. Maybe they were keeping it from me, I'm not really sure.
they wouldn't tell me anything.

I also remember thinking that there should have been somone there to help me, but I was alone.
I remember coming down the stairs in the begining, like I just woke up and found him gone.

I'm searching for someone, I feel it is my mate.
I'm in tears for not finding them, somethings very amiss.
I'm very pregnate, I fall down the stairs and die there.
I also worried about the baby as I lay there dying, knowing it would die to.

This dream is one of those that seem to last all night long.

I am searching for him, running scared, the whole time...
Something is wrong, the people who I ask, and they are very few in such a large place. (and they are all alarmed as well, about whatever it is that's wrong) would not give me an answer, to where he is or any info.
something bad has happened in the area, I'm not sure what...
I just know I'm scared and trying to find him.

I think i tripped, on my skirt tail. Maybe from being so big pregnate and running, which is not an easy or safe thing to be doing.
It seems that all of a sudden I am totally alone in this place, before I go up the stairs, which are kind of a large spiral staircase. We lived upstairs.
I remember feeling so alone when i lay there dying on the stairs, wondering where he is and what has become of him.

I always wake from this dream sobbing & heart torn.
Really strange, I've wondered at times if it some past life I'm veiwing.

What cha think?

You could be right. I'll have a closer look as soon as I can.

Also, I think maybe I should let you know that I usually do not remember my dreams.

When I was a child, I'd have awful nightmares, and my father taught me to 'change the channel'. I got pretty good at knowing i was dreaming and changing the channel.
Seems now adays that I don't remember them unless they are very 'horror-ish' like seeing things to come, people bleeding and dying, building blown to pieces, or for awhile there children being poisoned by school food. <(that was one of the worst, and before all those things really started happening).

Or I remember dreams that are very soul touching.

There are a few times that some dreams I do remember, but it's not a every night thing, or even a monthly remembering.

"Finding him was the main objective"

That statement, plus your feelings and the symbols, could easily point this in the direction of past-life influences.

The huge mansion with many different shops is a good metaphor for past-lives. "I was going in and out searching" This could reflect your reincarnations and the quest you are on to find this other person through many of them. Could the empty shops represent lives in which you did not connect with him? Could be something like that.

Why do you think everyone seemed alarmed?

Alarm?
I'm not really sure.
It could have been some type of invasion senerio, but it doesn't make sense that I'd just be left there.
Maybe something was coming, but not something welcomed.

Those who weren't already gone from the area, where in a hurry to get what they could and leave.
(I'm not even sure if there were more than 2 dozen people there, seems they fall short of that number)
