Pregnant Girl

[MBeeHny]

okay so I had the freakiest dream last night. I had this friend who I don't know in real life, (she looked kind of like Amber Tamblyn from Joan of Arcadia) and she was pregnant. Most certaintly, it was a big deal about this friend being pregnant....the thing was that when she was ready to give birth, she had a hard time and she was bleeding and bleeding and she was crying and the baby wouldn't come out, there were people helping her on the floor (she wasn't at a hospital) it was like in a house I think (in a big bathroom).... at one point she was standing in the shower with her white silky gown, but still I could see the blood dripping .....she kept bleeding and she kept crying...I was sooo frightened, the baby wouldn't come out..I felt so scared and sad. It was the weirdest nightmare...I just remember that at the end of the dream we hugged each other...I felt really close to her..it was overwhelmingly emotional. What is this dream trying to tell me?

Hi. I practice a form of dream interpretation where I take the dream on and consider it as though it were my own. I hope you find something helpful in it.

In my dream, my friend represents me, and her baby represents a fairly major change I'm trying to make in my life. The fact that she has such a hard time giving birth tells me that the change has been or I fear it will be very difficult for me, and the fact that I don't know her in real life suggests that there is a part of myself I will have to examine closely before I can manifest this change.

In my dream I am interested in thinking more about the traditional symbols of purity and/or purification - the white dress, the water - as contrasted with the traditionally "guilty" symbolism of dripping blood. Is there something in my life I feel guilty about? My dream may be telling me that doing some sort of purification spell/ritual to help myself feel absolved of this guilt is a necessary first step toward manifesting this change.

In my dream, I am greatly cheered that there are other people there helping my friend give birth. This makes me believe that I have a strong support network available to help me make this change, as long as I am willing to look for them in unexpected places (because of the symbolism of giving birth in a house, rather than a hospital). Although, considering that women have given birth at home for millennia, I might also consider looking to those who follow "old ways" to help me.

My dream ends on a note that is ambiguous but hopeful - I don't know if my friend had her baby, but we do hug. This gives me hope that, even if the change I'm trying to make doesn't manifest itself exactly the way I want it to, the experience of trying to make it will teach me a lot about myself and the support system that's available to me, and that I will come through the experience stronger and more hopeful.

Wow, right on! thank you so much. There is a big change I'm considering in my life and I do have a fear about it, but I know there will be really good things that will come about making the change.
Do you have a purification spell/ritual I can try out? hopefully it's simple 'cause I don't really do spells and I usually don't have the tools for it.

You're interpretation of my dream is what I was looking for. You're very talented.
Many blessings and much love!!
