my dream

Posted on 10/15/09, 12:12 pm
Three days ago I had a dream and my father was a part of it. I would see this concrete ledge as wide as 3 lanes of a road. There were lots of people including me and my daughter. My father was there too. We were all trying to cross over this massive body of water in front of us. I would see people dive into it but nobody made it across. There were real violent waves and what seemed to be some creatures under water. (I'm not sure when but my dad disappeared from view). I was holding my daughter by the hand throughout the whole time. Then all of a sudden the water resided and it was nothing but sand and everyone started jumping in and running across. What was my daughter holding my hand turned into a friend of mine and she was saying come on lets jump in and save ourselves. I then turned around and saw my daughter standing by herself and I said no, it's not time, it doesn't feel right. I let go of my friend and ran to my daughter and thinking "what's wrong with you? helping your friend and not your daughter?" I took my daughters hand again and I told her that's not the way and all of a sudden all the water came flooding back in and we saw all those people just banish. I was growing desperate to get a cross. I ran all the way to end or I can say to the beginning, entrance. I don't know how but we managed to run across because there were people guarding it to make sure no one tried to get out. It was dark already, I remember seeing the clear night sky, filled with tons of stars. It was another small stretch, nothing but sand. We were running along the beach side. I still had it in my head that we needed to cross the water so I started to run into the ocean which seemed endless but it was icy cold. My daughter and I were already cold as it is because the night was freezing. Then I saw lights, and people and a house full of life. It felt like a save haven. We walked into the warm place, there was laughter, music and full of happy people. I was walking around the house along a dinner table full of people when I saw a dog, white and black among the cowed. I felt so angry, and so hurt because it was my dad. He was looking for us and I started hiding from him. I was so hurt because he left me behind; he did not wait for me.
It's hard to explain the dog, I would see a dog but I would see my dad. I just knew it was him. I woke up feeling a little sad that day. I love my dad. My daughter is 9 years old, she is my oldest of 3 children.

    Hi and welcome. To see a dog in your dream, symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success. Alternatively, it indicates a skill that you have ignored or forgotten. As far as the drowning in your dream, suggests that you are becoming too deeply involved in something that is beyond your control. Alternatively, it represents a sense of loss in your own identity. You are unable to differentiate who you are anymore. Your dad symbolizes authority and protection. It suggests that you need to be more self-reliant. Consider also your waking relationship with your father and how aspects of his character may be incorporated within yourself. To see your daughter in your dream, represents your waking relationship with your daughter and the qualities that she projects. As far as the abandonment. To dream that you are abandoned, suggests that it is time to leave behind past feelings and characteristics that are hindering your growth. Let go of your old attitudes. A more direct and literal interpretation of this dream is that you have a fear of being deserted, abandoned, or even betrayed. It may stem from a recent loss or a fear of losing a loved one. The fear of abandonment may manifest itself into your dream as part of the healing process and dealing with losing a loved one. It may also stem from unresolved feelings or problems from childhood. Alternatively, the dream indicates that you are feeling neglected or that your feelings are being overlooked. Perhaps the dream is a metaphor that you need to approach life with "reckless abandon" and live more freely. To abandon others in your dream, suggests that you are overwhelmed by the problems and decisions in your life. I hope this helps.

    Oh wow, you are amazing, I never really saw all that from a dream. You have such a talent by the way you can interpret things even things we over look ourselves. I have been so blinded by the fact that my father left us that I never once thought seeing him in a dream could be having him as a protection. He was a very strict and authoritative figure in my life and he was very strong about values and morals. After meeting my husband, just got married this year in March7 but we have been living together for almost 3yrs, I re-established a relationship with my father and his new family. I love him so much and at first it was hard for me to see him with his new family because it would hurt me that he left us. My husband has been a great support for me when it comes to dealing with my new relationship with my father. And as far as looking at myself I have changed a lot due to life. I've had very bad experiences to a point I was so overwhelmed with anger and resentment, that's why I looked into support groups. I don't feel close to the person I once was, I feel my innocence was lost, my faith, everything I dreamed off. I have been trying so hard to find my faith once again. My life is moving forward and I know I will finally get my degree so slowly I'm moving forward and my husband has been very supportive. I do need to be more self-reliant, I will focus on that. I never saw that as part of my dream, thank you Bey Bey. I do need to move on, I've been finding that very difficult. Like I said I've grown angry and that is one thing I never wanted for myself. Thank you so much, I've had so many crazy dreams every now and then that sometimes I'm left all puzzled or sad even angry. I can't believe how strong a dream can be that it can literally affect the mood we wake up in.
