I dreamed that I was living with a family and working for them (in some capacity, at a bar I think?). I had a friend (no one I actually know) who was also working for them but she was only pretending to work for them - she was actually playing some trick on them and would wear a bleach blonde wig around them.

The main focus of the dream was this baby. Weeks passed in the dream and as I lived with them and took care of their baby for them I became more and more attached to her and wanted her for myself.

The parents figured out that my friend was betraying them in some way and asked me about it. I didn't want to betray my friend but I had grown to love the family and so I admitted that they couldn't trust her.

I also admitted that I really wanted their baby but that I would never act on that impulse -a nd that was really the main emotional focus of the dream. I fell in love with this baby, but it as odd because sometimes the baby was a human baby and sometimes it was a dog and sometimes it was a cat. By the end of the dream it was a human baby and I felt this crazy, deep, immense love for this baby.

I also realized that although I thought we had been living in a small trailer, it was actually a train moving very fast.

The end of the dream was me crying while looking at the baby and knowing that she was not mine as I realized how fast the train was going.

So I see all the symbolism and I can understand a lot of of it in regards to my own life right now, but I am struggling to put it all together. Also, sometimes it's hard to see your own stuff so I was hoping even though it's kind of a long and complicated dream, that someone might have some ideas.

I think I woke up actually crying for what that's worth, which is the second day that this happened in a row.

This dream reflects your mental/emotional state as relates to your desire for love/relationship.

You are feeling a separation from bonding relationships (work for family), and have deeply seated, instinctual/basic (dog/cat) desire for a new connection, new love (baby).

It deeply upsets you that you have no such relationship at this time (know baby isn't yours), as your life seems to be quickly passing by (fast train).

But there is something else going on here. The friend likely represents an aspect of self, one which is hidden or disguised and with which some amount of honesty and revelation must be met. I'm not exactly sure what that means or how it fits in with the situation, but there does seem to be some part of the equation that depends upon truth and honesty with yourself, and maybe others.

Any idea what this means? Any idea as to what kind of trick the friend was playing, or why she couldn't be trusted?

As always, very accurate. There's no point going through each point since each one was bang on. As for the friend, I was never quite sure myself. I know that she would pretend to be someone else by putting on a wig and so in essence she was lying about her identity.

Other than that, there was never anything clear about her sneaking around and why. She was no one I knew in real life so it's harder to ascribe her qualities to myself.
