I watched The Seventh Sign yesterday. Remember the part where the sparrow dies, indicating the birth of a newborn without a soul?

I had a dream last night. In the dream my son dies as well as a pet bird I once had. First the bird died. I held it and cried.
Then my son died and of course I held him and cried. These were deep felt cries, the kind that make you sick to your stomach.

I must say, at different times, I've had to "give up" both the bird and my son.

My son lives with me now, but will be returning to live with his father when school ends.

Believing that all persons and objects in dreams represent an aspect of the soul, I'm not sure what my dream may be telling me.
Any ideas?

im new to this but my granmother was very goof at interpreting dreams so ill give it a try

the bird is either just ur subconscious reflecting or simbolizing the feeling of not having complete freedom and peace over letting your son go at some point both of them dying could actually mean ur letting go and represents a rebirth of your soul ask your self what does your son represent to you as a spiritual guide letting go gives more freedom cause youll always be connected crying to me is also releasing fear that what holds ppl back think back on what feeling u had about the dream

Thank You gemini Girl. I did love the bird, she knew when I was unhappy and stood by me in my times of sorrow. She could sense my pain. I do feel so guilty for not being there for my son when he was growing up. His father is so "robotic", un emotional in his thinking, that my son doesn't like expressing himself, except to me. Even then he is hesitant. I feel as though I need to make up for all the lost time of being an inspiring parent to my son. I feel as though I have contributed to his lack of expression of who he really is. He has no idea he has been blessed with so many gifts. His father is a very good father, he loves and cherishes his son. For that I love him. At this point in his new mariage, his wife has put my ex husband in a position of having to choose between his wife and his son. He definatly will do right by my son, there's no question in that, it's just that he will have to divorce his wife. He is more than willing to do this for our son. But will have to leave his wife and new son. My ex is like a rock! I am hesitant to keep my son due to the location I live in, it is not education oriented and there are a lot of temptations with drugs. I have talked to my ex. We believe the best enviornment for our son is with his father. He has family, higher education, but not me. I do feel guilty for "leaving" my son, but he has so much more opportunity with his father. I do not live my life typically, predictable, or as society would believe I should. It's the fight against "normalicy" that I believe would be harmful for my son, until he is older.

Hi Philbird, like you I dream of our son dieing, he is 6 years old, Before he was born I always had dreams of little bird - I wasnt able to feed them and they always died! Similar themes hey? I know part of the reason I dream of my son is anxiety - I am very close to him and I was told the bird thing was self-nourishment. Maybe we DO need to let go and find it hard - isn't it comforting to know others out there who experience the same feelings - motherhood is such an awesome job, but for me, at times, its has been all consuming. A quote i read sums it up "the decision to have a child is awesome, it is to have your heart go dancing around your body forevermore" - love to you xx
