The child

[AHiddenSaint]

This all started with one dream. In the first dream I'm sitting around and people are congralating me on the birth of a child. My family is there, but I keep telling them it isn't possible because I'm a guy, but everything seems normal to them. I tell them I've never had sex, but even that seems normal to them. It's short but this pretty much sums up the first dream. The second time I'm wondering in a large hallway. I remember being scared as if something was chasing me. As I look back there is a girl with a sad look on her face. She keeps asking me why won't I let her live. Why won't I let her live. I remember the terror on her face as her anger grew each time I didn't have a answer. The third time I saw the girl was on a abandoned playground. I don't remember much of this dream other then the sad look and same questions being raised. This time she didn't torment me, but looked like something was causing her trouble. The last dream was also the last time I saw her. I still haven't figured out the meaning of the three dreams, but each time it was the same girl at different ages and different time periods of my own life had passed.

To begin with, the child in your dreams could just be a remembrance of the child in your first dream. Think kind of like a recurring dream, but only one part. The baby in your first dream generally symbolizes innocense, new beginnings, and vulnerability. It could stand for something about you that you keep sacred. Something about you that is pure. In your second dream, you are scared. Anger and self-doubt in your waking life have a way of playing dress-up as fear in your dreams. The child could be your mind's way of showing you, well, you. Your inner-child, at least. Do you have some great responcibilities in your waking life that you would just love dumping? This could be your inner-child, asking not to let the youth in you die. The third dream is saying the exact same thing. You see that empty playground? Wide and open and nobody around to see you make a child out of yourself? You should take a load off, and go have some fun. Don't worry. The fact that the child is a girl doesn't mean anything. Quite honestly, you might have seen that girl before in your waking life, and your unconcious is just using her as an illustration. Have fun! ~Lyra
