Day of August 29, 2011

After having a terrible morning of not feeling well, I decided to take a nap along with Sydney.  I fell asleep very quickly.  As I started to dream, I thought I could hear Sydney get up and find a way to get out of her crib.  She ran down the hallway and walked right next to my bed so she was right next to me.  I remember feeling like I needed to get up so I could take care of her.  I remember telling myself to open my eyes and wake up but I COULDN'T!  I was practically screaming at myself to get my butt out of bed because Sydney needed me, but my body wasn't allowing me to do so. 

When I finally woke up, I got up and looked around and found that Sydney was still in bed asleep.

I can't find anything to help me see what this would indicate.  None-the-less, it freaked me out just the same!! 

Day of August 14, 2011

Dream:

I was participating in some kind of activity with fellow women.  Not sure what the activity was, but I had Sydney in a classroom to play in while I was doing my own thing.  I sat and could see in a doorway the class that Sydney was in, and she was having a great time running around and having a blast.  I could see other mother's in there that I know from church, and I started to worry that maybe I'm supposed to be in there too.  I don't go in however, and stay with my own activity.  When everything is over, I go to pick Sydney up and she's the last one to be picked up and the teacher is frustrated that she had to wait for me. 

Interpretation:

I don't need a dictionary to for this one.  In church yesterday our Relief Society went over the normal time and Sydney was almost last to be picked up from nursery by myself.  I felt bad, however when I went to get her Sydney was playing and didn't even want to go at first.  That's a good thing (I keep telling myself that) and I guess those feelings came up in my dream. 

Night of August 9, 2011

Dream:

There is a small boy inside a small apartment.  He is working on a garden inside, when there is a knock on the door.  The small boy goes to answer the door and there is a man with an explosive.  I arrive and I try to shield the boy from the explosion, but I am too late and the boy dies.  I wake up to me crying over his body.

Interpretation:

So apparently explosions are becoming a growing trend in my dreams lately.  I really liked this idea from the Dream Moods website about gardens:

To see a vegetable or fruit garden in your dream, indicates that your hard work and diligence will pay off in the end.  It is also symbolic of stability, potential, and inner growth. You need to cultivate a new skill or nurture your spiritual and personal growth. To see a flower garden in your dream, represents tranquility, comfort, love and domestic bliss. You need to be more nurturing.

Since I saw both, I felt like both mattered.  James and I have both been working so hard in work, with Sydney, with each other, etc.  I loved the "domestic bliss" part.  James has been able to be home a bit more over the summer, and it has sure been nice.  

The apartment in my dream was pretty dark and destitute looking: To dream of a shabby and dark apartment, indicates misfortune and possible loss.  Well, that's kind of scary.

Once again... a bomb.  To see a bomb in your dream, indicates that you are going through a potentially explosive situation in your waking life. I still don't understand what this is supposed to represent.  

One thing I have to remind myself as I go through this is that not all dreams have meaning.  Sometimes a dream is just a dream.
