Hi allI dreamt last night that my ex's mother came to my house. She had a bag containing xmas presents that were for me,. Due to her son and I breaking up she told me that she was not able to give them to me at xmas. I looked in the bag and saw the presents gift wrapped. One of the gift had slightly torn gift wrap. I told her that I also had a present for her that I was not able to give her at xmas. I went to a cupboard and found the gift, it was also in a bag. I thought I had wrapped it but it was not wrapped and some of it was missing. She then told me not to go out with other men just because it was easy for me. His father was also in the dream but I don't remember him saying anything. Any takers??? love and light Cathy IP: Logged |

Hello Cathy  My impression is that you miss her in some way. You liked her and you feel like you kind of gave her the short end of the stick when your relationship with the ex ended. Is this true? IP: Logged |

... wait a minute, your "ex's mother in law"? Would that make her your mother, or was he having an affair with you? Or did you type that wrong ...  IP: Logged |

Hi RaShe was my ex's mother. I worked with her for years before even meeting my ex (her son). Yes I liked her, respected her and am very sorry that I lost her friendship ( if I have ) through these circumstances. Thanks Love and light Cathy IP: Logged |

If you are receiving a present, in a dream, it can mean that you are loved, recognized and also gaining from the relationship. But if you are giving presents to some one, it means that you appreciate you have characteristics you are able to give to other people. It seems that you "mother-in-law" still has hopes for you and her son to be together again, and she is obviously hurt by the break-up. IP: Logged |

I think you really do respect her.. and in a way feel like you aren't fulfilling her expectations ( actually, they are YOUR projected expectations....) because the presents you offered her you thought were wrapped, but it turns out you were somewhat unprepared. Also the torn bit could indicate something there too. Understand that she still loves you even if you and her son aren't meant right now. She thinks you may still one day though. No one is a failure. Circumstances force you to relate and you can only do it with your hopes and faith, as well as a framework of the past and lessons, and what is all around you now. If you react with confidence, you are halfway there. Keep love close to you.IP: Logged |

I have a lot of books. I used to use them a great deal, referencing them for almost every nuance of a dream. Not so much any more. My advice is to have several dream-symbol books. You'll get a more complete picture that way.  IP: Logged |
