Here is my dream last night:

I was in New York City (the base to many of my dreams as it turns out). It was complete chaos in the city and everyone believed it was the end of the world. It was dark out and people were running in the streets. I was in midtown. I discovered why all the chaos. There was a giant dragon on top of the Empire State Building. Well, it was sort of a dragon. It was a giant dog – like a Labrador – with dragon wings and it breathed fire. Brian and Hunter with me along with a couple random friends. We had a place to hide that we had preplanned in case of emergencies. It was on the first floor of a high-rise building which I don’t think was the best choice of emergency places but oh well. We had to close all the red and white curtains because it had floor to ceiling windows onto the sidewalk and people were pounding on the windows to get in because they knew we had food. I had to run to lock the emergency exit and I got there just in time because these large 7 foot tall hounds were trying to get in.

I remember talking to a member of our group about the food supplies. There wasn’t enough protein. I don’t know how that came up but it stuck with me. We needed more protein and I didn’t know why I didn’t think of that when planning the emergency foods. For some reason shrimp had to be the protein. We needed shrimp!

At some point we realized we couldn’t stay in the city and our shelter could only be temporary. We began to plan our escape route. It was then we realized that New York City was quarantined. They weren’t letting anyone out so in order for us to be able to get out we’d have to not only avoid the dragon and the huge hounds but we’d have to sneak by the people in the surrounding boroughs that didn’t want anyone leaving the island. It was discouraging but I was determined to get out of the city with my family and the rest of the group – I just had to figure out how.

I’ll just start with a one of the dreams from last night.

I remember this one being particularly long when I woke up at 2am but I lost a lot of the details now because I didn’t make a huge effort to remember most of it. I remember my 6am dream very well but that one isn’t really fit to be typed out due to ‘adult themes’. There were a couple things that still stuck with me about the 2am dream. I was eating a huge bowl of soup. It was a bowl probably 2 feet across and I was holding it up to my chin so I wouldn’t make a mess because I was eating with my hands. It was filled with chicken soup. No noodles, no veggies, just chicken and very little broth.

I was eating and it seemed like normal chicken but as I ate it slowly transitioned. First there was more cartilage, then stringy bits and pieces of bone. It started to taste like dust and had weird gritty texture. My next handful pulled out several wing feathers that were still held together at the base by bits of bone and sinew. They looked like eagle feathers. I was concerned and tossed them aside.

I reached in again and grabbed more feathers that were attached to a wing. I pulled it out and it was attached to a whole bird. It was a little yellow and black bird. At first I thought it was dead but then I realized it was breathing. I spread its wings out and saw on the underside of the wings were baseball team logos. Somehow I knew the bird had been used at a baseball game with hundreds of other birds as some sort of half time entertainment when they were all released. I turned to someone that was sitting next to me and showed them. I told them I’d never go to another baseball game again to treat birds so badly.

The bird woke up and I realized it was thirsty. It was very very thirsty and I had to get it water right away. I found a fountain just in time and the bird kept drinking with what seemed like a thirst that was insatiable.

I was in a huge bookstore. I don’t know what book I was looking for but I realized I misplaced a paperbag with something I had just bought from another wtore in it. It was nailpolish or some other beauty product. I ran around the store a bit but I did find it and I headed towards the exit. There was a tall young man there dressed in a 1940’s U.S. military uniform. He tried to hand me a flier for some meeting he was promoting. I refused at first but he started talking to me and there was something familiar about him so I stopped to listen to him speak. The meeting had to do with earthquakes and I really didn’t want to go but he was so nice and so genuine in his enthusiasm on the subject that I decided to go.

The meeting was in a quaint little house. I think it was yellow. It looked like a house a little old lady would own – doilies on the backs of the chairs, rose patterns everywhere, etc. There were several people there, all of whom seemed to be in their 60’s to 80’s. The young soldier I had come with was now older with grey hair and in different clothes. All the other people at the meeting were unsure if it was a good idea I was there. They didn’t think I understood earthquakes and the consequences of them.

At first I didn’t really care that much and I planned to sneak out of the meeting first chance I got but the opportunity didn’t arise soon enough. I ended up arguing with one of the ladies. She told me she had been in 304 earthquakes and she showed me a map with a list of them. I told her “Oh please! Those don’t count! Those are baby earthquakes! You can’t count a 3.4 or 4.2 earthquake or anything smaller than that even if you feel it. I’ve been in real earthquakes! Big ones!”

The woman stopped arguing with me and many of the others were discussing and debating among themselves. The gentleman that had brought me to the meeting was smiling so warmly at me and asked me about the earthquakes I had been in. I told him a little but I told him I dream really often about earthquakes too and he was very interested as though that was what he was waiting to hear. I told him sometimes my earthquake dreams bring on the end of the world as we know it and he seemed to know exactly what I was talking about. “I just got goosebumps telling you that”, I said. He patted my hand and said “I know.” He told the rest of the group what I told him and their objections to me being there disappeared. I had proven myself worthy somehow in their eyes and showed them that I knew more than I should normally know.

They said something about it being a good thing to get younger members and ‘new blood’ now since they were all so much older.

I wish I had time to delve into the details of these dreams, but time does not allow at the moment. These dreams could indeed be providing information about your wish to become pregnant. Keep it up and I'll try to stay in touch.

Very interesting, Amber. Sounds to me like you should be eating shrimp (there are worse things!), and that perhaps you have too much "heat" (Chi, in the Chinese sense) in your body, or maybe not enough. You may wish to look into Chi. It is life energy, also symbolized by the dragon. See if any kind of chi-balancing makes any sense to you.

It also sounds like you may be concerned about your age (dream 3 from April 12).

I didn't used to be concerned about my age. It seems like everyone else in the world is concerned about it! I never thought it was a big deal to try to have a baby at 40... now I get a lot of "Don't you have old eggs?", "You better hurry up!", "You're gonna be tiiiired at this age", etc. etc.

I'm actually picking up some shrimp today. I love shrimp. I have to keep the servings to once a week because of the mercury concerns, etc. but that's ok. I've been watching what I eat really carefully and it does seem protein is a struggle to keep up with since I'm not eating meat except for fish.

I read a book that I really enjoyed that combined Western and Eastern medicinal wisdoms. I don't remember them mentioning Chi in great detail but I'm going to read it again. It did say I fall into the "stuck" and "tired" category and they give all sorts of suggestions that are good for those issues. I'm going to re-read that tonight when I get home. I've been drinking my water at room temperature with lemon - that was one of the tips.

Luckily, it was an incredibly easy labor. I only pushed once and the baby's head came out. I reached down, pulled the baby out and pulled her to my chest to clean her off. I didn't seem to notice at all in the dream but the baby was a full grown white cat. I cleaned her up and wrapped her up in a blanket and she was really happy. I met up with my family and was disappointed because most of them were bickering amongst themselves rather than paying attention to the new baby.

We were trying to find my boyfriend who was a bit of a jerk that none of them liked all that much (in real life I am married to a wonderful man that my family adores). He was throwing a fit, hung up with me on the phone and we didn't know what location he was at on the map we had because it was confusing.

It was at night and I was on a small pier on an island with several other people. There were sharks in the water and they could jump. I had to direct the people to safety. One of the children was grabbed by a shark but there was nothing we could do. The rest of us managed to make it to shore but we didn’t know where to go or what to do.

A man came walking out of the water but he wasn’t wet. He appeared to be Mexican with a large moustache and he was dressed in some sort of uniform. I approached him and he smiled. He was tinted blue and I realized he was a ghost. The other people I was with tried to touch him but their fingers went through him. I took a different approach and reached out to shake his hand. He reached out and shook my hand and he was solid for me. He smiled again and pointed to a cave on the beach as if to tell us that is where we should go.

We went up there and the inside of the cave looked like a restaurant. There was a man in there smoking a cigar and he greeted us joyously.

You have certainly picked out some dreams which have everything to do with having a baby or being pregnant! I don't think it's necessary to point out all the symbology as most of it is quite apparent, but if you have any questions about something in particular, please ask.

I love the dream about the ocean and all of the fish. It is a beautiful dream which screams "fertility!" I also find the white cat interesting, as a cat is a feminine archetype, represents feminine energy, and is also the traditional witch's familiar … and in that dream you refer to your baby as a girl several times. Do you think you are going to have a girl or do you just want one?

Looking at the dreams from May, there seems to be a change in them. The first ones seem to reflect the fact that you are not anxious or apprehensive about having a baby, but the last two seem to suggest that some anxiety is creeping in or hanging on.

Concerning the shark dream , it appears that you have some unconscious or subconscious (night) fears (sharks) that there could be danger involved in having a child (shark grabs child). From your unconscious (ocean/water) comes guidance (the ghostly uniformed Mexican … this is an archetypal symbol for the Wise Old Man) apparently telling you that your womb (cave) is safe and will adequately supply the variety of energies/nurturance (restaurant) necessary.

Then, the Titanic dream. Again, sub/unconscious (water covering window/ocean) fear that there could be impending danger (Titanic). The same idea is repeated with the dog and puppies, and being chased. As with the previous dream, this one ends in safety and comfort, reflecting the idea that while you may have some concern about being pregnant or having a child, all will be okay.

Keep posting! This is a very interesting and informative string. And again, if there is anything in particular you have questions or thoughts about , please ask and share.

Thank you for sharing your dreams.

I have been thinking about dreams a lot again lately so I'd like to start recording them. Probably not in a 'fertility' related way since it's been years and nothing is happening with that.

I sat down at a table on the bus. I was looking at a magazine. Some people boarded the bus and sat at the table with me. They were from India and very talkative with one another. I started talking with one of them sitting across from me. He was in his early 20's with glasses and a crisp white button up shirt, big eyes and a kind smile. I asked him what he did for a living and he said he delivers eagles. I was confused about that but I asked him if that was lucrative and he said very.

One of his friends, a woman, brought up religion. I'm not sure what religion she was but she was complaining about people on the bus that had different religions than hers. She wanted to know what religion I followed. I knew if I was honest she wouldn't be happy but I was honest anyway and told her, "ahhh, I don't have a religion. I guess I'm spiritual... I don't know. Sometimes I am. I think they all have some truth but I guess I'm still searching."

She gave me a disgusted look and all of the people at the table didn't want to talk to me anymore except the young man that delivered eagles.

First one:

I was driving down a busy road with my husband in the passenger seat. Traffic was a little slow and I noticed two pigs on the side of the road. They were about the size of medium sized dogs. One was mostly white and one was mostly black and they both had collars on. I pulled over as much as I could but I couldn’t get off the road completely. I couldn’t just leave them there because I was afraid they would get hit by a car. I scooped them into my car with some cars behind me honking at me. I pulled down a side road and found the mostly white pig had a tag on his collar. It had an address on it but it was cool because on the other side it had a little GPS that showed exactly where home was. I figured these were very loved pets that were very well taken care of. The home wasn’t far so I drove there. It was a cute little house. There was a white dog with black spots in the front yard. When he saw us he walked to the back yard where I saw the gate had been left open and that’s how the pigs got out. I picked up the pigs and my husband came with me to the house. An elderly lady came out to greet us and was SO HAPPY to see her pigs and couldn’t believe they had gotten out. She was very nice. Her husband was with her and he was the stereotypical grumpy old man who really wasn’t so bad under all of his grump. We put the pigs in the backyard with the dog and closed the gate. The elderly woman forgot to lock it again but I locked it for her and started walking back to the car with my husband.

Suddenly, my husband stopped in his tracks and grabbed his chest. “I’m having a heart attack!” I panicked and said “NO NO NO – don’t do this to me! Don’t you dare do this to me!”. He fell to the ground, grabbing his chest as I called 911 and tried to make him comfortable. The rest of the dream was just waiting for an ambulance to come and I was just in terror because they were taking too long and I was losing my husband.

Second one:

Sort of a discombobulated dream but I was working at some sort of fashion place and the boss was a real diva – like the boss in “The Devil Wears Prada”. She was on her way into the office and for some reason I was hiding a needle and thread in my back pocket so she didn’t see it. She came in and turns out she looked like a family friend of ours but in my dream she was just horrible and everyone hated her. She found my needle and started screaming at me. I had enough so I told her I quit but as I was leaving she said “OH, by the way, I know your husband is cheating on you. I know for a FACT!” I told her she was an idiot and just trying to stir up trouble but she claimed he was cheating on me with her and that she was also pregnant with his baby. I threw acid at her and told her I knew that wasn’t true because nothing could grow in her toxic womb.

Third one:

I dreamed I woke up and it was 9am so it seemed very realistic and real-life. I have to be at work at 8am so I was upset it was so late and that even if I was calling in sick it looked bad to call in that late. I tried to call and I got through to the office but my assistant answered and she sounded really sick. She said she was so sorry but she was going home. The line became static and I hung up. I was panicked because it meant no one was at the office to take care of things. My husband was there and telling me my legs were too hairy. I looked down and, yes, they were hairy like a man’s and I was disgusted so I started a shower but I realized my husband installed so many shower heads in our shower that things were tangled and confusing in there. Water was spraying everywhere and getting all over the floor.

Fourth one:

I was a famous musician. I was in a limo with my husband and I had a small white dog in my arms. We were on our way to an interview with a radio station. We got out of the limo and there were people staring at me like “OMG that’s so-and-so!!”. I smiled at them, waved, and we went inside. I was waiting for the interview to start in the station and my husband was like my assistant and he was asking me if I wanted coffee, offered to walk the dog, ask me if I needed anything, etc.

The school bus dream ...

This dream contains several symbols that relate to social/work group connections (school bus/catty women/office chair/table), suggesting differences, difficulties, or disconnection with communication, opinions, or ideology.

Your interaction with the first group of catty women and then the second group of Indian people suggests that you may be feeling mentally/spiritually apart from those around you.

The young Indian man could represent your animus (your masculine aspects) or perhaps he is a guide, or simply a representation of an aspect of your Higher Self. Whichever the case, he seems to bring with him an energy you need a connection with. He "delivers eagles", which makes him the bearer of, or connection with, inner freedom, spirituality, higher vision or ideals.

Have you been feeling disconnected with your Higher Self or your spirituality? Sometimes everyday life can slowly disconnect us, and inner disconnection becomes reflected in outer disconnections with those in our lives.

I'll get to your other dreams asap.
