Dear All

Last night I had two dreams (early morning dreams which actually woke me at 6.30am or so)

One was about sleeping with an ex-boyfriend, someone I do not like or wish to be with. Then the second part of the dream was about “kidnapping” or rescuing (it was a bit unclear) a young boy baby with me on the London Underground tube station and I was running away from whomever had the baby originally. The baby looked like a male version of me as a young child.

I know this is an anxiety dream of sorts as my boyfriend is sorting out his visa to study in the Uk and it is a source of tension at the moment for me and him.

I’ve also just moved to a new apartment so lots of upheaveal in the last month or so.

Babies seem to feature in my dreams recently. I had been entertaining the idea of being a mum in the next few years.

I think RE: the baby, at this point in time, you are "re-parenting" yourself. You are maybe doing some inner work on things that happened in your childhood, and so, you've stolen the baby (you) to protect it, to save it. You are your own parent now, so you can change the story as you wish.

As far as the ex boyfriend and the sex. This has happened to me before, and what I've noticed is this...when I dream of having relations with someone that I do NOT want relations with, that person is usually a stand-in, or a mirror for either myself or someone currently in my life.
So, your brain uses a trigger that it knows you will react to, to get you to understand this message.
So, ask yourself what are the qualities that you dislike in this ex? When you've thought of them, then do a mental check and see if you or someone else you are close with are exhibiting these qualities at this time.

Hope you are well.

Baby- totally think you are right with this one. A sense of taking care of me, oneself. i have been going through this this "separation" from my mother in a good way. Kind of leaving the nest and cutting the ties type thing. So it seems to be still going through the process.

Re Ex. boyfriend. He was very selfish and manipulative. My boss at work is like this and in my work role I am feeling manipulated and taking for granted.

Hope you are well GW!

I had another baby dream last night.

This time (it was also a boy) it was a friends baby. I was in the kitchen with him making breakfast and he suddenly began playing with pieces from a board game (Monopoly or something...). Then he suddenly started swallowing pieces from the game. This was awful as I tried to stop him choking and get the pieces out which I did, but this happened a few times. There wasn’t a feeling of fear, it was more “oh dear, I better get these pieces out before he chokes!”. The baby thought this was funny.

In the end he was fine. Which I guess is good!
