ok, here's the dream:
It was a dream within a dream, so I am sleeping (in the dream) and so am aware that I am dreaming, I dream I am in a big, beautiful church with sun streaming in the stained glass windows. The pews are full of people but still with room to sit, however i sm sitting in the aisle and not bothered about it, and nor is anyone else perturbed by this. A little ways in front of me a gorgeous baby girl (under one) is sitting on the lfoor also, downey golden curls and very happy. she is playing by herself as babies do and i am engaging with her making faces, smiling etc to make her laugh, and thinking 'what a beautiful baby', my attention is drawn to an old lady sitting at the end of a pew next to me (she seems familiar to me but I don't recognise her as anyone I know/knew in real life) and she says to me 'isn't it lovely that you can see her too'. At this point I realise I am seeing a spirit child. Suddenly somehow, I am drawn into a hug with the baby between me and this old lady in the pew and I am aware that I am sort of absorbing this baby into myself, feeling her feelings, and she is disolving into me. At first it is wonderful as I feel all her innocence and joy but then I start to absorb her pain and at a certain point I think to myself 'this is excruitating and if it doesn't stop soon I'm going to die' and I feel myself screaming but with no sound and no-one in the church notices. Then I wake from this dream but am still asleep and dreaming (bare with me - dream within a dream) I wake up freaked out and run to my daughter's room but when I hit my hallway it is like 10 times longer than usual and I have to literally run down the length of it to get to my daughters room, when I do I lay down next to her to get comfort (by the way she is not a baby - 14yrs old)and then I wake up for real.
This dream totally freaked me out, not in a scarey way, but I find it disturbing...

I think the dream means that you have embraced you True Self and become aware of unresolved emotional traumas and tears you never cried; together with this you felt joy and happiness of accepting and recognizing your True (Sacred) Self.

Probably you feel very vulnerable and helpless now (like a little Child) and your daughter seems to be the closest person to you now; so you are looking for her emotional support and protection, which may be quite difficult for you (it is like 10 times longer than usual) because it is you who usually do this.

It is a good dream, so you need not worry.
